Okay so some guy at my kid's soccer match snapped this photo of me using a prototype iPhone in public. Then my dear friends at the Cult of Mac blog republish the photo and break my stones for wearing the same clothes everywhere I go. Thanks, Mat Honan. One of these weeks let me follow you and Leander around with a camera and make fun of what you're wearing, okay? And what is up your first name? Aren't you missing a T there? And by the way, to address your concerns, the JobsWear outfit needs to be worn a certain number of days per year or else I lose the patent and trademark. Satisfied?
Worst of all is the Unofficial Apple Weblog which tries to suggest I was breaking the law by using a phone that hasn't been approved by the FCC yet. Sheesh. Folks, I've been living outside the law since the Seventies, when Woz and I were making blue boxes for hacking the phone system. That rebellious, anti-establishment ethos is what Apple is all about. It's who we are. I'm not afraid of the FCC. Now the SEC and the U.S. Attorney's office, well, maybe. But let's not get sidetracked.
But I would like to point something out. How'd you like it if every time you went to your kid's soccer match you had weirdos stalking you and taking photos of you for their flickr pages? I'm telling you, the life of El Jobso is not always as insanely great as you might imagine. It's like I'm living in the Truman Show. Or America's Most Wanted or something.
Oh, one more thing. You're wondering how well the phone works. Well, it's amazing. The sound quality is like nothing you've ever heard. A few glitches with the screen but we're killing one Chinese engineer a day until our supplier works them out. Peace.

WHAT?!?!?! No Bluetooth!!?? ;)
Steve, you haven't had such fun since the days of the blue box. ;-)
At least a premature iPhone is safer than that tubby little Woz waving lasers around.
If you haven't seen it, this is friggin' hilarious. Windows shill Paul Thurrott caught "sprawling on a pin".

Did you ever believe Bill was being "compassionate" to you, as Paul Thurrott asserts. I'd lay money you didn't.
I really wish the Paparazzi would leave me alone when I'm doing the soccer thing and listening to my Michael Jackson iPod. The Beatles are great, but sometimes I just have to chill with Michael.
Worst of all is this:
so many refer to your mock turtleneck as a turtleneck. Gees, folks, if you are going to be talking about clothing design, go to wikipedia and get the terms correct.
Sometimes, though, I notice you don't always wear the same thing. You fake the mock and wear a long sleve t-shirt with a slightly deeper ribbing.
For you UKers, respectively, polo neck. (Marco)
I suspect you are British. We say "kid's soccer game".
Kind of confused. Why aren't you using Bluetooth? Isn't it time for stereo bluetooth?
I read this isn't a soccer match at all but another of Wozes polo playoffs.
The final 4 of the Segway playoffs.

Just FYI, I believe the rules as far as the FCC goes make it so that you cannot distribute the device without approval. If you made it and are testing it, use it all you want.
Have fun with your iPhone, Steve. There is some major lust going on right now between you and I. Some of it is for looking so fashionable wherever you go, but most is for that iPhone.
I'm counting the days...

Ever heard of an Acoustic Neuroma? You get them from using cell phones. Just ask my best friend who had one and is now deaf in one ear and had head-splitting pain for two years after the operation to remove the damn thing.
(Of course, Nokia is pumping millions of euros into research to tell us there's no connection. And the Finnish government is no doubt kicking in as well. After all, what the hell else does Finland have to offer the world? Akvavit? Only depressed Scandinavians drink that crap.)
Sticking a bluetooth headset next to your brain is just as bad. Steve's already kicked cancer once. Do you think he's going to tempt fate again? He's no idiot--he's keeping those radio waves away from his precious grey matter. Leave that to the people who just think they're important.
-SSteve, not Steve.
