iPhone is All the Buzz / Woof

All the dogs in Central Park this morning were abuzz about iPhone...whatever it will eventually be called. iTalk? iGen? iTelephone? iMe? iWoof?

They enjoyed that all the small dogs at CES felt like the bigger dogs at Macworld were having the better party. Admired Job's single-handed PR genius. Concensus is that it's very cool, evincing the must-have qualities of iPod. Jobs' SEC troubles are over; he's the biggest dog; Cisco will take the money, or Apple will do some even better branding. Agreement -- sniff, sniff -- the Cisco lawsuit is unbeatable PR. 

Even the usually laid-back Golden Retrievers said that the critics are mistaken, that Blackberry should adjust projections downward. Ease of use and aesthetics will trump the complexity of the old e-mail device -- even for clandestine text messaging under the conference table (when the small dogs are trying to get an edge).
