I find that he exudes glee with some parts of his presentations. I use a ThinkPad running Windows, but I do like my iPhone 3G (which, granted, I got as a present and didn't plan to buy) and want to get an iPhone 4 at some point, but I wouldn't say that he's "sold me". I don't buy into a lot of the things he talks about in his keynotes (I found the Windows 7 mockery a while ago downright juvenile). I like iOS and some of the Stevenotes about it, but not Mac---and don't get me started on Safari and iTunes. FaceTime is a bit of a joke, too, considering that classmates used 3G cellphone videochat in my high-school in 2003. J When you study his lecture techniques and take five seconds to consider his numbers and superlatives, a lot of the sales pitch falls apart. I would not feel out of line to say that some of the claims are blatant lies. Even so, there still remains some indescribable magic in it reminiscent of a child-like fascination that Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto also (used to) focus on. However, it is not impossible that I have been soundly duped by his superb acting skills as "happy Steve". This is probably me back-pedalling and rephrasing my comment to say that he often exudes pure glee, particularly when using the videogames. It's more of a particular than a holistic observation, but I find these instances infectious.
