Nobody predicts it's coming
What Jobs said as "the most important thing" is not only a new tool. I translate his words as he will create the new "Business Constellation." So, I predict the totally new business horizon — the Apple will merge its media software — with Microsoft. It's the marriage between iTunes and MP3.
Connecting the dots
As Google is increasingly becoming a threat for Apple and Microsoft as a new media empire, Jobs may have decided to shake hands with Gates. Although I can't point out a single particular article to prove this hypothesis, from many hints on the numerous articles (mainly on the business columns), I've just connected these scattered dots.
This is a strategic decision
if Jobs has such idea of more reconciliation with Microsoft, this is the exact time to do so. It should be a strategy of business alliance against Google — which is targeted the monstrous Chinese PC market where MS has been a king — and the Apple will be a queen of the computer kingdom.
Behold the "i-whatever"
On the stage in San Francisco tomorrow, Jobs will appear with Gates — hand in hand — as they have done before for the software conversion.
On that stage, Jobs may say — "This is it, folks."
