"Thank you very much." - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs is looking good. Applause is continuing.
I'm very happy to be hre today with you all. As some of you know, five months ago I had the liver of a mid-20s person who died in a car crash and was generous enough to donate their organs. I wouldn't be here without such generosity.
"I'd like to thank everyone in the Apple community for the heartfelt support -- it means a lot. I'd also like to thank Tim Cooke and the rest of the Apple team, the really rose to the occasion.
"So I'm vertical, back at Apple loving every day of it, getting to work with our incredibly talented teams to come up with some great new products. Today, we get to talk about music."
"Before we do, I'm going to have Phil Schiller, s well as Jeff Robbin, our VP of iTunes engineering. I'd like to talk about the iPhone: thrilling to report to you today that in a little over two years we've sold over 30 million iPhones." Wow!
"Today we have something new for iPhone and iPod Touch owners: OS 3.1" -- iPhone 3.1 coming out today!
"It's got a lot of nice features. I'll highlight a few: firstt is our Genius technology. It works really well... we've applied that same technology to the App Store." App recommendations based on the apps you own!
The second thing we've added is ringtones -- we'll have over 30,000 ringtones and they'll be sold for a price of $1.29.
iPhone 3.1 is free and will be available for download today.
iTunes is now in 23 countries with Mexico being the latest.
Over 8.5 billion songs have been sold.
