I’m in the airport. It’s two hours before my flight leaves. I got to wondering if I could post a blog entry from my iPhone.

I guess I can.

Tomorrow is 7/7/07. Could this be your lucky day?

Perhaps you’ll get a new iPhone tomorrow. Or maybe someone will pay you to buy them one! I saw this article about people paying other people to stand in line for them, and it reminded me of our Shakespeare in the Park discussion from April.

I wonder - does it change the ethics of the situation if the product is not free? Is standing in line still “part of the experience” of getting an iPhone?

There are rumors that Apple will be introducing OS 10.5, code-named Leopard, at a special event on February 20. Gizmodo has some “leaked” screenshots, and the Apple website has a sneak peek of its features.

I don’t know how much of an upgrade this is actually going to be, but I am excited about one thing - Spaces. Remember when Exposé first came out in 10.3, and it seemed silly and superfluous, but now you can’t live without it? That’s the vibe I get from Spaces.

Of course, when 10.4 came out, Dashboard seemed indispensable, and now I never use it anymore. But I do a lot of multitasking, and I have a feeling that Spaces is just what I’ve been looking for.

I can’t get excited about Time Machine yet. Other updates seem minor. Any other suggestions on why I should get excited about upgrading?

What do you get when you cross an iPod and a cell phone, and then throw a web browser into the mix? The Apple iPhone, of course, available in June.

They are also introducing a video player, called Apple TV that can download digital content from the Internet and play it on a television.

Steve Jobs announced the new products at the MacWorld expo.

My prediction - the iPhone will be a huge hit. It’s exactly the easy-to-use, all-in-one device that the market has been hungry for. The Apple TV, not so much. I think between Tivo, DVR, Netflix, Video On Demand, and people just generally being busier than they used to be, the market for more video content is over-saturated. iTunes videos probably sell specifically because they can play on portable computers and iPods, not because people can’t find anything to watch on their televisions. Bottom line: Apple TV, no; iPhone, oh yes.

But however it turns out, Bravo to Apple for once again pushing the envelope and moving us to the next level.
