I *love* this video Robert and the guys did with Bill. Not for the content which I actually think is too long but for the real insight in to Bill as a person. This is soooo much better than seeing him on stage as you get the real deal - he is *THE* Geek in Disguise...and drove a Porsche 911.

He zones in on Robert's device very quickly, asks a few pertinent questions and you can just see him analysing the whole thing. It reminded me of Steve Levy's remarks about when he first showed Bill

Brian from Gizmodo made me smile with "I've been following your work for a while". Nice :)

Another thing: I just don't see other people in Bill's kind of position putting themselves out there like this. I don't see Mr Jobs doing this for example. I think it's great that Bill gets out there and talks to the blogosphere guys and technology sites. I'm not sure what the mainstream media thinks of this but it's the future and Bill's out there doing it now. Spin free and real. This for me is Bill at this best - the real Bill, of the cuff, unedited, unscripted and passionate.

Kudos to the guys interviewing too who didn't use it to take cheap shots or try to be "the man"....and Robert's comment about Apple doing single function devices was quite prescient :)
