The new Jobs revolution

Take it: iPhone + iTV.

Steve Jobs, the cyberbusinessman just announced to the world:

Jobs announces two versions of the iPhone: a $499 model with 4GB and a $599 model for an 8G model (a two-year agreement is required). The iPhone will be available in June; overseas in 2008.

And this:

Apple's new TV product, codenamed "iTV", will simply be called ... "Apple TV". Apple TV does 720p HD video, and has an Intel processor plus a 40GB hard drive which stores 50 hours of video. The new system will play shows from iTunes. Shows and movies will be automatically synched from a Mac or a PC to Apple TV's hard drive, or streamed from up to 5 computers. Apple has long hosted trailers on its website to show off its video software. But now they can stream right to Apple TV and play. Apple TV ships in February for $299, Apple taking orders today.

Pay attention

We all have dreams: to have a company, to start a new business or to stay in a typical career.

We love examples like Gates, Dell, Jobs or Brin. Why not to look to some new guys in town? In other words, look to future very wealthy Chairman or CEO.

You can find here, a bunch of them:
  • Michael Rubin: 34 years, chief executive of GSI Commerce, a King of Prussia (Pa.)-based e-commerce company with $524.6 million in revenue in the 12 months ended Sept. 30.
  • Harry Vafias: 28, CEO of StealthGas, in Athens, Greece.
  • Michael Soenen: 36, chief of flower seller FTD.
  • David Liu: 41, CEO of wedding information Web site The Knot.

But remember this: Many of the youngest CEOs achieved their position by launching their own companies from scratch.

And this: Internet CEOs were young by nature.
