Cook is a great manager, a whiz when it comes to managing supply chains and keeping the trains running on time. He is vital to Apple. Jobs cannot do what he does. But neither can Cook do what Jobs does. The fact is, Apple needs both of them. Forgive me for the analogy I am about to make—but if you’ve seen the latest Star Trek movie, then you might understand how Cook and Jobs work together. Cook is Spock: low-key, cerebral, methodical. He’s the Apollonian counterpart to Kirk, the Dionysian hothead. Kirk is impulsive—but nobody would deny that he, not Spock, should be captain of the ship.

As the video shows, in our OpenGL ES testing, the 3GS is generally close to four times faster than the 3G. Results will vary depending on the application but this is remarkable to say the least.

It’s no surprise giving the new graphic chips in the iPhone 3GS but it worth mentioning. And these guys didn’t use any OpenGL ES 2.0 (e.g., shaders).

It’s going to be a really serious platform for games; far more powerful than the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP.

So, to give you an example, as I was walking in the street with my headset on the other day, I held the button on my headset for about one second to activate the voice control and just said:

— Shuffle.

— No music is playing, do you want to play music now?

— Yes.

— Shuffle on.

The music started playing as expected. Then, I needed to call to my friend Nicolas, and without getting my phone out of my pocket, I said:

— Call Nicolas.

— Home or mobile?

— Mobile.

— Calling Nicolas, mobile.

Neat! When I hung up, the music started playing back again with a smooth fade in, and as I wanted to listen to something else, I said:

— Play more songs like this.

— Playing Genius playlist based on “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.

And the Genius playlist started to play.

There is a lot more actions you can do with voice control, and I haven’t learned all of them yet. The nice thing is when you trigger voice control the list of commands would scroll on the screen; no need to read the manual. Also, voice control supports about 20+ languages.

It’s things like that that makes this product very polished.

MMS has been around for more that 7 years but so badly implemented into devices that it was simply unusable.

It’s crazy! We had to wait for Apple to show these guys how to do it right. And It might be so successful that AT&T is not even sure its network would handle the load. Pathetic.

The conventional wisdom at the moment seems to be that the iPhone is only a consumer device, but the conventional wisdom is wrong. Think about all the hospital/medical demos from recent iPhone events, for one thing.

I also think there is a huge market for professional iPhone apps deployed exclusively inside the enterprise—and it’s going to be big.
