On the eve of the iPhone introduction, forgive my being a little goofy.
Tomorrow's introduction is an historic event. No product has ever rolled up so much anticipation, so much raw desire. The iPod taught us what is possible. That little music player is a road map to the future. The iPhone is a huge new turnpike on that road.
Can't you see the flat, touch screen, thin, no-keyboard macs that are coming?
Can't you see the unimagined gadgets that iPhone capital will enable? 
One has the sense that products from other companies, Microsoft for example, are conceived and dedicated, in endless stooge meetings, from the outset, to profit. Compromised widgets that we must buy in a spirit of forgiveness for what they can never be.
But Apple is the only company, Steve Jobs the only man, that brings us the amazing future we were promised as kids. One can draw a straight line from Hait-Ashnury to the iPhone's ability to sense our typing patterns. He is Edison and Ford, on crack.
Tomorrow is a delicious day to savor.
Of course, I'll wait for revision 2. But it'll KILL ME.
