Don’t adjust your monitor. You’re not seeing things. Nor, as far as we can tell, is this some sort of clever Photoshop ruse. That is Steve Jobs…in a suit. He couldn’t pull one out for his induction to California Hall of Fame, it’s true, but when he’s backing up his buddy Al Gore at the award ceremony for the Nobel Prize, well, that’s a different matter altogether (word is he was also discussing potential Scandinavian iPhone plans, but let’s face it: he’s not going to drag the suit out just for that).
You may think that all Steve Jobs has in his closet is a row of identical black turtlenecks and blue jeans. But let’s not forget this is Steve Jobs we’re talking about. The man has style. In spades. I mean, dude: he invented the friggin’ PowerMac G4 Cube…maybe you’ve heard of it?
Alright, I wouldn’t expect to see El Jobs ditch his trademark garb for the upcoming Expo—much as we continue to hope for the day he comes out in a purple velour tracksuit—but if nothing else, it’s nice to see he can bring it up a notch when the situation demands it. So all you complainers, quit yer whining.

I want a G4 Cube.
@wesg, how badly ($$$)? I've got one collecting dust.
He looks so cool and distinguish. It's like James Bond, but older.
Really, I would like to see him like that in January 15th.
This is about the 5th time I have seen him in a suit in most recent times.
The first time I saw him in a suit without tie was the introduction of the iMac, saw him in a Pink tie and suit at a Macworld Expo in France.
Another occasion was in Tokyo and he was in a coversation with some Japanese folks in crowd.
Other occasion was when Prince Charles and Camila came to San Francisco and he was at a particular function.
And now this one.
