- Light frothy talk on potential macworld scenarios, Leo predicts a new iPhone (Write it down folks!)
- Don’t forget apple did make a digital camera, the Apple Quicktake! Which had a resolution of 640X480, the same as the iPhone! (Your iPhone, its a new Apple Newton! Its a new Apple Quicktake, its also a hard-to-use cellphone!…)

MacCESworld hype isn’t quite ready to come out of the oven….
