What Guy Kawasaki learned from Steve Jobs

Apple - Apple Events - Apple Special Event October 2011

Watching the video of this morning's announcements by apple. (I had a more important keynote to watch this morning at 10am.) :) The Siri stuff is looking pretty sweet-- I've played with the previous version, but having it integrated at the OS level is a game changer. Can't wait to see Google respond to this-- having indexed the sum total of human knowledge has to provide some competitive advantage in this kind of functionality. If my phone weren't mangled I wouldn't update to the 4S, but I probably will because my camera is broken and the screen is all scratched up.

Watch the streaming video from today's special event.
