30-minute ago the San Jose Mercury News reported:
“In Palo Alto, shortly past noon, shoppers got more than a new shiny object – Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed up and hispresence gave everyone a giddy brush with Silicon Valley high tech fame.
Wearing a black hoodie and jeans, Jobs , who came with his wife and daughter, scanned the displays of tech goodies and watched Apple employees give ipad how-to demonstrations.
And of course he drew amazed gazes from shoppers already expressing excitement overload – the equivalent of a sugar high for Apple fans.
“I love the ipad,” one twenty something female shopper said to Jobs.
To which he happily replied, “good!”
Many in the crowed pulled out cameras and iphones to capture the most magic Silicon Valley moment.
Jobs also chatted with a handful of other shoppers, but in the end most did not allow the 30 minute appearance — even by Apple royalty — to get in the way of the serious business of buying new iPads.”
Soon we will see the first real pictures on Flickr.
