Forstall for CEO
After watching the keynote this morning, it looks like we have a new Apple CEO in grooming.
Scott Forstall took the floor for majority of the keynote, presenting the new and upcoming iOS 5. A frail looking Steve Jobs came on first with a brief introduction and welcome to WWDC attendees, which was followed Phil Schiller with the announcement of OSX Lion. After this, Forstall took the stage for a 45 minute presentation of iOS 5, by far the jewel of WWDC. Jobs then resumed and concluded the keynote with the announcement of iCloud.
The audience response to Forstall's presentation was amazingly positive for the senior vice president of iOS. From this mornings keynote it looks clear, from the audience response as well as the responsibility of leading the iOS initiative, that in a post-Jobs world Forstall will be running the show.
