Woz hints about ‘iPhone’ in online Forbes video interview?
Thursday, November 30, 2006 - 12:24 PM EST
In a Forbes Video Network interview, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak talks about a wide range of things from his relationship with Steve Jobs, the iPod, the Intel transistion, and also touches on smart phones:
Woz (at 5:25 into the video): I think of the smart phones today, the Blackberry is my favorite. To be able to do everything in a way that fits your hand so well, with one thumb, pretty much getting you through all your email and your web browsing or whatever - it works the most effectively. Blackberry users are the happiest of all the people that use smart phones, and you know, Treo-type devices... The Blackberry would be mine of choice, but I'm waiting, I'm holding out for a better one.
Hmm, for what better smart phone could Woz be waiting? ![]()
