Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder of Apple computers is the stuff of legend, must have been feeling a bit relaxed, being on the other side of the world and being out of the reach of the long arm of the Jobs. In a frank interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Steve has given some insights into his, well, unimpressed attitude towards the Gospel according to Apple. The Woz throws up a huge amount of queries concerning the iPhone, Air and Apple TV, that are worth a look.

Wozniak, who created the Apple I and Apple II computers in the mid-1970s but ended his full-time employment with the company in the late ’80s, said he was puzzled by the lack of 3G support on the iPhone and that he didn’t believe the MacBook Air would be a hit.

"To tell you the truth I was really disappointed when the iPhone was introduced … half the phones in the AT&T store at the time were 3G phones," Mr Wozniak said during a press conference following his keynote speech at the Broadband and Beyond Conference this morning.

"I was shocked because Apple is bringing the full internet [to mobiles] – full web pages with pictures and everything – and it’s not 3G and I knew that would be a speed detriment."

I am impressed, all the talk about the Jesus phone, and the MBAir have left a bad odour in the southern hemisphere, and to get an intelligent round up/review of the issues with these devices, from the well connected Wozniak, is refreshing. Also he reiterates a lot of the reported issues.

The only credibility issue I have with this, Cheesy Apple photo opportunities!
