Apple CEO Steve Jobs has just appeared on CNBC with Jim Goldman and touted the new incredibly thin MacBook Air — “A product we lusted after,” said Jobs.
Jobs also reported that rumors of on-again, off-again negotiations with China Mobile are simply untrue; just a single China Mobile rep. has flown out to Cupertino just once. There are no ongoing negotiations, just a first meeting. Jobs wants iPhone in China, but details will come later.
Jobs also remarked on the iPhone’s “off-the-charts” customer satisfaction and said that any product that is so beloved is likely to be very successful. Jobs said he is very happy with 4 million iPhone sales to date and with achieving nearly 20% U.S. smartphone market in their first quarter of sales (as per Gartner).
Jobs also said that he is unconcerned with day-to-day Apple share price fluctuations and he’s running the company for long-term success and expects Wall Street to reward the company accordingly as the company performs.
The interview will be able to be seen via CNBC shortly here.
freakin sweet…
They have been saying “in a few minutes”fo the last half hour.
Jobs on after this commercial break.
Any minute…
Wow. I wish they would have made that banner a little bit bigger. It didn’t quite block the entire view of the item they were discussing.
It’s all about the show….not the content, apparently.
No China Telcom deal, wireless is the NEXT BIG THING.
I can’t stand the guy, I always feel like he’s trying to sell me a car or teeth whitening or something.
At least Maria is on… {swoon}
Give me Erin Burnett

I’ll take her…
@ C1
Homo.
Whatta ’bout CANADA !!!!
dammit!
I had to open the link in FireFox to get it to play correctly. Hell of a thing to have to do to watch a video with Steve. Get on the ball CNBC.
@ Religious Right
Sheep.
What’s the format of that clip? Flip4Mac tries to play it (Safari’s plug-in, that is) but it pops up some dumb error code. Is it infested with Windows DRM?
C1,
I take offense at that remaaaaark.
You’ll be hearing from my laaaaawyer.
C1: Does that mean the Religious Right is on the lamb?
Or the choirboy. Take your pick.
Plays in Firefox via Flip4Mac on this Intel machine. Report is a capsulation of the entire interview. Actual to follow later.
Does this CNBC link lockup anyone else’s Safari?
And why Apple stock dropped 10 bucks. And also why Apple leaked the whole thing before hand.
A big Who Gives a Crap.
Apple lives by the sword and dies by it too. There buzz wasn’t this time. And I’m a Mac addict so don’t go there.
MB Air? Nice. But not a must have. Sell what I have and get one? Nope. This is the 2008 version of the Cube.
AppleTV? Have one. 40GB original version. Where is the plug a hard drive into AppleTV via it’s USB and play my OWNED ripped movies and play? Sorry this sucks. Movie rentals. OK. Had to happen. So what.
Airport with HD? Time Capsule? If it works (or doesn’t work as Air Disk doesn’t) who cares again. FIX AIR DISK APPLE! This is a straw that breaks the camel Apple. Sucker us ALL into BUYING the new Airport N with Time Machine backup via Airport and then don’t implement it. ONLY so your could make us all look like chumps with this crap today.
iPhone? I own 4. NO iChat OR COPY/PASTE? Another shoe gives a crap Apple.
All in all a bust of a MacWorld. BUST. Stock dropping is the evidence from investors too.
You’re losing me Apple. I will never go to Windows of course. But your shit does stink at this point.
NO 16GB or more iPhone.
NO copy/paste
NO iChat
NO all in one Inbox for email
NO multi-delete of email
This was Steve Jobs WORST MacWorld Keynote EVER.
@mozart11
Perhaps a laxative and a nice nap might do you some good.
@mozart11
Religious Right wants to see you after the laxative takes effect.
