Perhaps I should have specified that my change of heart was brought about by Mac OS X, released in March 2001. Quite a change from the crappiness (in my very subjective opinion) of OS9.

You didn’t happen to record that feed, did you Chris? ;)

The keynote video appears to be up here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/keynote/, but at the moment it’s not actually coming up.

Indeed, my brain exploded. It freaking runs OSX, holy crap. 11 mm? 4.5 ounces? You had me at scrolling. Price point? Just fine. If I bought one it’d be the SECOND time I’d spent $600 on a smartphone.
