Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc, (formerly Apple Computers Inc.) this week anounced Apple's amazing iPhone. Nokia and cousins are shrugging it off, but even though I am only an Apple convert in terms of the iPod and all things MP3, my hunch is that this time next year will see Jobs gloating in the market share that this extraordinary device, a teleputer really, will have stolen away from the big boys of the mobile phone market.
Me? Sure, I'd love to play with an iPhone, but my real excitement is the paradigm shift in what this device does for understanding the huge shift that is silently marching against traditional broadcast delivery of content, to a little sliver of amazing electronics and code that slips into your pocket.
