Steve Jobs: “…and just thirty-nine more things.”

You thought there 39 weeks left in the year, didn’t you? Well, Steve Jobs is about to blow your mind. You may have been anticipating a new Apple announcement every week, but did you ever think that you’d see all the products announced on the same day? With a completely gratuitous use of italics to boot? I doubt it, friendo.
We’ve already gotten word on the Newton Ivi and Apple’s new apparel line, but The Man in Black (Turtlenecks) said this morning that Apple would be revealing the rest of their year’s products and updates throughout the day. “I know I said back at Macworld that there were fifty weeks to go, but the truth is that we’re so excited about our product pipeline that we just couldn’t wait to share it with you,” Jobs said. “Tuesday’s always been a big day for us, and as today is the 32nd anniversary of Apple’s founding, we decided to let it all go. I mean, hey, 32, 39, those are pretty close, right?”
When pressed about future plans, given the revelation of the entire product roadmap for 2008, Jobs hinted that he might have a surprising announcement later today. He also alluded to plans to regrow his sweet mid-80s porn star mustache.

IDG NETWORK:
How many April Fools posts are you going to come up with?
One is sufficient, more than that is boring.
I second that. Pick one. And for it to be a true April Fools joke it should be reasonably believable but easy for anyone really paying attention to catch. It not really a prank if no one would fall for it.
