...precisely made it's reluctant to let air flow in around it. I hooked the iPhone up to my iBook with a feeling of pride roughly comparable to that of someone setting up an old friend with a really hot blind date. iTunes needed to download a chunk of code before it would talk to the iPhone (as if it wanted to change before it met that really hot blind date).

...this year were from two very different companies, Apple and Microsoft, and oddly enough, they were in many ways demos of the same product. One is a gimme: the iPhone, Apple's brilliant deconstruction of the common cell phone, due out June 29. The other is a product mysteriously code-named Milan, from a new branch of Microsoft called, not much less mysteriously, surface computing.
