Interesting Jobs Q & A posted
The financial analysts' meeting has been posted at Apple. Check out the Q & A in particular - Jobs answers questions about the sales of the iMac and PowerPC vs. Intel, and the relationship with MS. Listen especially at around 5 minutes into the Q & A.
It's audio only, but he says some interesting things.
That business about X on Intel sounds quite interesting when you hear him talk about it. He praises Motorola, says the roadmap looks "pretty good," and "between Motorola & IBM, the roadmap looks pretty decent." Not exactly a ringing endorsement, and then he says the "we like options" quote.

About 27 minutes into the Q & A.
<strong>Here's another good one: He was asked what he thought about PDAs, and he said "I think the PDA is going to go away."

Market research agrees with that opinion too. A lot of people think PDAs and mobile phones will absorb each other and a lot more people want their mobile phone than a PDA.
