Steve Jobs and the iPhone Announcement

I had an interesting experience the other night:  I was invited backstage to Steve Job’s keynote announcing the 3G iPhone.  It was really exciting!  I’ve had my iPhone since the day it came out last June, and honestly, it feels as if I’ve had it for a lot longer!  I guess my constant use of the iPhone prompted my invitation backstage to get a first look at the 3G iPhone.  It was about the same thickness of the original iPhone, but the face was black and a bit of a vshape at the bottom where the home button is located.  It was just absolutely exciting to be there backstage.  I took in the nighttime scene behind the stage:  the tall redwood trees were swaying behind the outdoor ampitheater, while off in the distance, the Ewok village rested peacefully.  So yea, I must really want the next generation iPhone because I was dreaming.  Dreaming!  It’s my subconscious telling me to save up for the next iPhone, and that Steve Jobs uses Ewoks to build and design the iPhone.  Interesting insight.
