Good 'Jobs'

The long wait has ultimately come to an end. Apple's celebrity CEO Steve Jobs announced in the Macworld Conference, SF, the launch of iPhone, describing it as "the ultimate digital device."

“Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone,” he declared, showing off a thin handheld device with a 3.5 inch screen that displays touch-screen controls. Mr Jobs said it would play music and video as well as display email and act as a better handset for browsing the internet than anything else available. Watch the keynote here.
