@monkbent I noticed the same thing a couple weeks back! In retrospect it’s truly stunning.

@caseyliss@monkbent I put that down to the awkward vagueness of the phrase. Who knew what that meant? -
@willhains@caseyliss@monkbent It's unusually bad wording for Steve. Everyone in our office was like 'what's that?' -
@_ChrisHarris@willhains@caseyliss how would you have described it in 2007? -
@monkbent@willhains@caseyliss I wish he'd put it second of three. Wording? 'Internet Tablet' was what people were wanting from Apple. -
@_ChrisHarris@monkbent@caseyliss YES! I agree. The ordering of the three took the punch out of it. “Phone” should have been last! -
@willhains@_ChrisHarris@caseyliss it was in the exact correct order -
@monkbent@_ChrisHarris@caseyliss Interesting — I expected you to agree with that. Why? - 6 more replies

@monkbent much of the yawning had to do with how slow and expensive data was. I recall 50MB of EDGE for $150. -
@manicakes LTE was proposed in 2004. Apple knew it was coming.

@monkbent something Apple never gets credit for. Twisting arms of carriers to offer decent data packages.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent to be fair, the phrasing is kind of vague (those words could describe a blackberry). People cheered at "runs OS X."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent Apple knew that part was most important so the mentioned it last. Seemed strange at the time. Not so anymore.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent@Freerunnering They also yawned for slow iOS 7 download speeds. There's practically nothing I can't emulate iOS 7 with jailbreak.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent "Internet Communicator" is an inelegant phrase, too vague for immediate response.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent The exact opposite for me. I yawned for “large-screen iPod” and “phone” and cheered for “Internet Communicator.”Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent they probably had no idea what Jobs meant with an internet communicator. Bad marketing term if you ask me.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
