Ten years ago, today:

"we're going to make some history today"

Well that was true.  Wow.

Notes on rewatching:

• Hehe, Macs running on Intel, how amazing.
• iTunes Store ... 5M songs per day.  Of course, no app store yet!
• Zune, we hardly knew ya.
• Those old iPod ads were the best.  Those white earbuds.
• Apple TV!  Who can remember, it was introduced at the same time.  Nice hobby.
• 22 min in ... every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything.
• Who wants a stylus?  Nobody wants a stylus.
• iPhone runs OS X.  Really!?
• Sync with iTunes.  Yep the first iPhones required a computer.  Quaint.
• 3.5mm headphone jack.  "All your iPod headphones fit right in."
• Accelerometer.  Weird to think turning your phone sideways didn't used to do anything.
• "To unlock my phone I just take my finger and slide it across."
• "You had me at scrolling."
• "The killer app for a phone is making calls."  Hehe not any more.
• Random access voicemail.  Another breakthrough we now take for granted.
• First public call was to Jony Ive.  Of course.  "It's not too shabby, is it."
• SMS texting pre-iMessage.  Hardly ever see green anymore :)
• Pinch to zoom - big ovation.
• Yahoo! Mail.  Yay.  Biggest mail service in the world.  That was then.
• Realtime stock updates...  APPL was up $2.40 during this keynote.  Heh.
• "I want to show you something truly remarkable" ... Google Maps on iPhone!
• Calling Starbucks: "I'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go please" ... so great.
• It's my pleasure to announce ... the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt!  This was before Android :)
• "You can't think of the internet without thinking of Yahoo!"  Um ... yeah.
• Launch network Cingular.  Remember them?  Eleven days after AT&T had bought them!
• Love that anecdote about Woz and the TV scrambler at the end.
• Wayne Gretsky: "skating where the puck is going to be".  Yep.
• Finally, can I just say, that version of IOS looks so much better!
• Pretty much the best tech product introduction of all time.  The benchmark.

Can you remember what was in your pocket on that day?  I proudly carried a Palm Centro.

I don't care what you say, that was a better time.  (...more history...)
