Jobs was defianately less confident than normal in my opinion. He didn’t seem to have the normal Jobsness of “this product is awesome, amazing, and great”. He was also making sure that the product would sell and this is not normal Jobs behavior. I agree that he was building up his image and was suprised that there was not some kind of reason revealed for this. Maybe Jobs will step down. It would be a shame however, as he is such a powerful, influential, and creative leader. I hope to see more of him in the future.

I thought he looked really healthy. And as long as he is healthy he will do what he loves, which is run Apple. There is nothing else he would want to do. He will stop running Apple when he is dead, end of story. If that is in 1 year or 30, the same truth holds. ”

I completely aggree, he loves Apple too much to leave.

I think Apple will live to regret its decisions. Yes, Apple products are hot right now but nothing consumers will move on and to other products as they come available. I will never leave my carrier for the I-phone and I know their are others out there that feel the same. Get the clue Apple your days of popularity are numbered. Job bashed Adobe for being lazy, he needs to look at his own approach of expansion as lazy. After all this time Sprint and Verizon should have the I-phone. Get a clue Jobs.

Apple Inc. has now got it’s fingers in so many pies that it will keep growing even if Steve leaves.

That said, their still is only one Willy Wonka in the computer industry and it will ALWAYS be Steve Jobs.

And there will be only one Arthur Slugworth in the computer software industry and that will always be Bill Gates!

But he has had a liver transplant and is looking healthier.

It may have been just that but I got a strong impression he is getting tired of spinning product sales pitch bs perhaps because of his brush with mortality. I swear I half expected him to just stop and say “pfft, it’s just a big assed iPod touch, buy it if you want it” and walk off stage.

He has grown tired and may desire to go and enjoy other pastures around the world. Like Bill Gates, Help the unfortunate among us…..
Seriously, the iPad has fallen short because of a major flaw, albeit a wimpy size. Think about it!! NO INBUILT CAMERA”. Watch as SAMSUNG is sure to revamp and produce a more usability product that will be bastadized into windows, although I prefer open-sourced. Also since the “print paper” is 11″ x 8.5″ I expected the iPad to take the same dimensions. If it looks and feels like a toy, it will lose its real value and needs immediate revamping. A major component of mobile computing aka telephony is “the direct camera presence” that I noticed was relegated as an accessory
Good Luck to Jobs then and enjoy your approaching retirement for many more years.
My thoughts is the most prevalent use is in schools and colleges. Imagine that, no more paper text books. Every child, every student, every professor, every scholar carries the revamped iPad the way they carry paper files and books around. This is as of now an open market especially with its integration into wireless networking etc etc…
