What will Apple do without Steve Jobs?

Steve Jobs Does Steve have cancer again? After seeing photos of Steve Jobs at WWDC I am not the only one who wondered whether Mr. Jobs is sick again. I have stood next to him in the Apple cafeteria line, he is definitely a larger than life figure. You may say this is not really business news. In Apple’s case many billions of dollars of market value rests on Steve’s remaining healthy and at the reigns of Apple for many years. So his health is a very material business concern.

Can you imagine if Apple made a non cool blunder with the iPod or the iPhone, or heaven forbid with the computer line? Steve was the one who tied technology into fashion statements. I certainly hope his cancer has not returned, but I would think someone could emerge from the Apple ranks who has his pulse on “Apple Cool.” Maybe Apple should search among its fans to see who can design the next cool Apple tech item. Its too bad Douglas Adams and Gary Gygax are gone, I am sure they could have come up with “cool” Who knows maybe the next idea generator is an 8 year old kid who is at this moment eating glue off his school desk.

iPhone 2.0 releasing on July 11th, but still not perfect!

iPhone 2.0Apple announced at their WWDC the release date and the new price point for the iPhone 2.0. I think it came as a complete shock knowing historically how Apple does not cater price points for the masses. The new 8 gig iPhone will retail for $199 and the 16 gig version will retail for $299. This makes it cheaper than the ipod touch. I would think that product might becoming a technology irrelevant item soon.

Apple has demonstrated that the new 3G connection speed to be twice as fast as the EDGE technology of the original iPhone. The new versions will have a single color back versus the two tone of the original. The 8 gig will have an all black back and the 16 gig version will have an all white back. Apple also mentioned that it is slightly slimmer than its predecessor. Lets also not forget the new software update that will increase its popularity two fold. The new App store will be home for all third party applications for the iPhone.

As excited as I am about this wonderful product it still has
