iPhone just confirmed

I couldn’t help but watch the live blog of tuaw.com from Macworld in San Francisco. at 9:40AM PST the news that we’ve all been waiting for came through. The iPhone is real and it is here now. Wow. Cold sweat.

Here’s an excerpt from the live reporting:

“9:45 PT. Steve continues: “These phones all have keyboards that are there whether you need them or not. And they have buttons and controls that can’t change if you want to add an idea to the product six months down the road.” i.e. Touchscreen, kiddies.

9:40 PT. And they’re calling it? The iPhone. Yes! Most advanced phones are called “Smart Phones” but they’re not so smart, and not so easy to use. We leapfrog with a product that is way smarter and way easier to use with a revolutionary UI with years of research and development behind it. (David adds: “Man! Ryan of Engadget really hit this right on the head.”)

9:40 PT. And they’re all in ONE “We reinvent the phone”. (Then shows the pun of the iPod with the rotary dial.)

9:40 PT. #3: “Breakthrough Internet Communicator”

9:40 PT. #2: iPhone

9:40 PT. #1: Widescreen Video iPod. With touch controls.

9:40 PT. THE NEXT BIG THING. “This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for 2.5 years new “revolutionary” product that “changes everything”. The iCoaster. (Just kidding.) In 1984 there was the Mac. In 2001, the iPod. Today: 3 new products!”
