On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won’t be like “1984.”

Apple iPod nano 2005

You ever wonder what this pocket’s for? I've always wondered that. Well now we know. Because this is the new iPod Nano.

Apple iPhone 2007

Today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class.
The first one: is a widescreen iPod with touch controls.
The second: is a revolutionary mobile phone.
And the third is a breakthrough Internet communications device.
So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough Internet communications device.
An iPod, a phone, and an Internet communicator. An iPod, a phone … are you getting it?
These are not three separate devices, this is one device, and we are calling it iPhone.

Apple iPad 2010

The question has arisen lately, is there room for a third category of device in the middle?
Something that’s between a laptop and a smart phone?
And of course, we've pondered this question for years as well.
The bar is pretty high.
In order to really create a new category of devices, those devices are going to have to be far better at doing some key tasks.

Apple iCloud 2011

Keeping these devices in sync is driving us crazy,
We’ve got a great solution for this problem, and we think the solution is our next big insight.
We're going to demote the PC to just being a device,
iCloud stores your content in the cloud and automatically pushes it to all your devices.

The good thing is… everything happened in the first five minutes.
