Steve Jobs introduces the wireless Apple iBook, MacWorld New York 1999 Keynote Address

Shaky camera work aside, the video on the right captures this HISTORIC moment better than any other I've seen - shot from the standing room only crowd soaked in cheers.

Steve Jobs wakes the original Tangerine iBook from sleep and innocently demonstrates web surfing using the iBook; unbeknownst to everyone is that he is doing so wirelessly... until he picks up the iBook and continues to surf the internet while walking around the stage!

Watch for his enormous grin!

Steve Jobs comically demonstrates the wireless capabilities of the original iBook with a HULA HOOP!

This was the HISTORIC moment when most of the world was introduced to "wireless" (WiFi) - watch and listen as the sro crowd gets up on their feet and goes wild!
