As much as I want to see Steve Jobs in great shape…Let’s face it: He’s NOT. He seems very vulnerable.

Contrast how Steve looks today compared to 3 years ago at Stanford:

What are you people talking about? Steve looks fine. He did his usual excellent presentation. The audience was invited media types, not the over-excitable MacWorld Keynote crowd, so blame the crowd if the show seems “slower” and less energetic.

I wonder why the black iPod nano wasn’t shown on his Keynote slide; there were only eight colors on it. The new nano is the best music playing iPod, I think. The screen may be the same as before, but having all that space vertically (when holding it normally) looks very nice and useful. I guess we’ll have to give Zune credit for doing that bit before iPod; now its 2.6% market share will shrink even further.

Good idea to go to one iPod classic model, as hard drive -based iPods are phased out of the lineup. I didn’t know Toshiba made a thin 120GB drive; why isn’t it used in the MacBook Air…?

Aside that he’s continuing that skinny frail thing, I found that he sounded more geeky or nerdy. His voice sounded more higher pitched & squeaky. I even had to turn up the bass & completely turn down the treble to kinda make him sound like his old self.

His image & voice has changed a lot with 8 years.
