Is Steve ill?
I watched the keynote video stream and my first thought was that Steve Jobs looked ill. He has lost a lot weight very quickly and he seemed tired and under powered plus he seemed to have a team of people coming in as substitute speakers as if he had scheduled regular rest intervals. I hope the guy is OK.

hmmm, i wonder if the pancreatic cancer was causing him too be artificially overweight for his diet, and he's been losing weight ever since the surgery?

Yeh, I wondered the same thing. The other possibility is that he was prepping others for doing keynotes as part of a succession plan? Or maybe he just wanted to shake things up a bit.
(Fanboy side note: did you see how Steve and the other dudes gave hi-fives as they came on and off the stage? Awesome to have a company with that kind of low-key, friendly culture all the way up to the CEO level.)

well, just like everything else, steve's gotta have some other folks ready to do keynotes besides himself. plus, he's got that other endeavor that eats up his time and therefore can't guarantee availability at EVERY trade show. what's that thing called again? ooh yeah, pixar.

[nitpick]well, Disney, actually...[/nitpick]
I think part of the reason he sold Pixar though was to have more time for Apple...

oops, sorry. forgot about that whole "sold pixar" thing. though i guess he's also having to personally broker the music and tv deals when studios dig in their heels, tooo. who knows. maybe the guy just wants more time with family, too, and less time practicing keynotes for weeks on end.

i disagree, this was specifically planned out as the transfer to the 'next' person so as to not have any awkward moments in transition. i.e. steve said, no handshakes, no hugs, we high five, everyone hear that, high five only.
Once one gets back down in weight. it's easier to remain thin too. He may not still be sick, he may be just much happier with his current weight. I think he could use to gain a few pounds.
Edit: answered my own question: 51.
If any of you know anyone who has undergone cancer treatment you would know why he is that thin.

His cancer was 2 years ago, so wouldn't still be thin from his surgery unless it is coming back. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis - I hope he is ok though....
He had a different type of pancreatic cancer than what you are thinking of (it affects the insulin producing cells in the pancreas giving you symptoms MUCH earlier) that has a very high recover rate (five year survival rate of over 95% I think).
If he had the type of cancer you are thinking of, he'd most likely be dead already as it has a five-year survival rate along the lines of 5% or less.

Also, side note, he evidently didn't shop for new clothes—they were all baggy and wrinkled.

I wasn't even paying attention to his clothes, but i believe it.
Of course. Someone had to test out the Nike+iPod devices.
btw Was he wearing Nike or New Balance ?
