Now I want to show you somethign incredible, I want to show you Safari running on a mobile device. I’m going to load in the NYT, rather than just give you the WAP version, we’re showing you the WHOLE NYT web site. I can put this into landscape mode and there it is, I can scroll up and down here…”

The resolution is unbelievable looking from back here. We don’t yet know the dimensions, but It looks unbelievably fine grained.

10:23am - “I can double-tap and it’ll zoom in — I can make this text bigger if I want to, and there it is. Isn’t this cool? There is the New York Times. Unbelievable. You can look at multiple web pages as well, I just push this button in the corner, shrinks it down, and I can add a new page. Let’s go to Amazon. I like looking at what DVDs are selling — I like especially when Disney DVDs are on top.”

10:24am - Page is loading, albeit a bit slowly. “And here we are, and there’s a section over here, and these are the top sellers. Oh look, Als’ An Inconvenient Truth is number one. Now I can go back to the NYT if I want, I can get rid of these by just hitting the X.” Looks a bit like the UIQ browser, but much more slick.

10:25am - “I hope you never really know how incredible this is… it’s bad out there. This is a revolution of the first order. I’m going to load stock information off the web, and right onto the phone here.” Apple’s shares up over $2.50. Ha.

10:26am - “I can go look at the weather, let’s see what it’s like outside… 49 degrees, but we’ll just stay in here until it warms up.” Showing various time zones, scrolling left and right. “Now, to conclude with the internet device section, I want to show you google Maps on iPhone — it comes up and I’m going to go to Moscone West. And here we are, boom, I’m going to want a cup of coffee afterwards, so I’m going to search for StarBucks.” Shows Gmaps POI info including number and address, which drops right into the dialer. He’s calling StarBucks.


“Yes, I’d like to order 4000 lattes to go please. Sorry, wrong number thank you!” Huge laughs, huge applause.

10:29am - “Pinch if I want to, or I can double-tap to zoom in. Let’s go somewhere else…” People are rapt, everyone is actually literally leaning forward and on the edge of their seat. We’ve never seen a presentation like this before.
“Isn’t that incredible? Right on my PHONE! Look at this, the Eiffel tower — isn’t that incredible? Here’s the last one, the colliseum in Rome.”

10:30am - “All these amazing things — this is a breakthrough internet communicator built right into iPhone.” Reviewing the features… “Incredible new technology for entering text, a real browser on the phone, we can zoom in, Google maps, Widgets… it’s the internet in your pocket for the first time ever. You can’t really think about the internet without thinking about google.”
