So, tomorrow it seems the Reality Distortion Field's rust-clogged diesel motor will spin up again, and Apple will ride the wave of its recent successes into the aquamarine lagoons of technology revolution.
The Mac|Life crew is all giddy in anticipation of what
Steve Jobs might or might not have boasted is the most important thing he'll ever work on, but me? I'm a first-gen iPhone. I know what it's like to be hailed as the savior of all gadgetkind one day, then abandoned a year later for the next big thing -- oh, but not before being dunked in the ocean and left for dead, then revived, given a new Home button, and
enslaved to write an advice column. Not that I'm still angry or anything.
Anyway, my unique perspective on all this also allows me to read between the lines of Apple's paintball-splattered press invitation, the 34-35 words (depending on how you count compounds) that struck dry-mouth into the throats of tech writers around the world.
Here's what it really says. At least, according to bitter little me. Enjoy your tablets.
