This is live action? Yikes, that one still with the city in the distance did not look too good.

They look like production stills, probably made for web articles like that one. I doubt that's a finished or usable shot for the movie.

Whiplash just opened this past Friday, and will be opening wider in the coming weeks.

Huh.

Sorkin has publicly said the movie will be divided into three long scenes, each taking place backstage before one of Apple’s famous product launches.
“The first one being the Mac,” he told the Daily Beast. “The second one being NeXT, after he had left Apple. And the third one being the iPod.”
That actually sounds kind of interesting.

But how do you not include a backstage iPhone launch scene? Ending on the iPod seems anticlimactic. It's like climbing a mountain and stopping a mile from the summit.

The iPod was far more of a revolution for Apple then the iPhone was though. The iPod was made made Apple a household name, and trendy.

Yeah. The iPod led to a real revolution in the market. I'd consider that the summit. None of their other products were on the game-changing level of that device.

The iPhone is more like a continuation of the trend that Apple set from then.

Agreed. But I think ending with the iPod will work, just because of the massive leap Apple made with it.

Yeah but the iPhone is equally important, just not a huge jump in technology that the iPod was.

The iPod wasnt as much a technological triumph. I mean MP3 players existed before the iPod. But it was what made Apple's name as a cutting edge and cool supplier of personal technology. While before their market was mainly in the professional industry.

So in that regard the iPod, and iTunes is Apples greatest moment.

But look how tacky they were. I bought the first generation iPod because i couldn't be arsed into adapting my old Minidisc player to one of these bad interface Creative Labs Nomad or Archos things.

Apple's success is never that they are first, but that they were able to make something that existed before user friendly. I mean the iPhone was NOT the first smartphone, or touch screen phone. Not by a long shot. But It's the first one that worked properly.

They made it mommy-proof. Billions of idiots that never learned how to operate Windows or Android (ie systems you needed to build for yourself) suddenly found their haven and never wanted back.

Yeah it looks like it could be great. Surprised no one else watched the teaser.

Ah, that very 'weighty' feeling again. I mean, everyone looks as if they just lost their parents. Why do you think it's so promising? Isn't it just another 'true story' movie? You know, a TV movie with a big budget?
