With Apple's launch of the iPhone 5 today, you might enjoy, as I did, looking back at the 2007 announcement by Steve Jobs of the first iPhone.
It's a model of deference, humility, and carefully managed expectations.
Of course it isn't. It's a model of bluster, hyperconfidence, and master salesmanship.
This guy was good. I guess others have said much the same.

The economists envisage (hope) that the sales ofiPhone 5 will have an impact from 0.3 to 0.5 point of growth, that is to say the quarter of the expectedgrowth of the GDP. The revolution is not in the factthat L iPhone 5 makes 0.8 mm, but in the 0.5points of growth!
