CEO Steve Jobs kicked off last weeks Macworld Expo here by introducing 17- and 12-inch versions of Apples professional PowerBook portable, a new Apple-developed Web browser, an Apple-branded Macintosh presentation package, and a variety of new and enhanced consumer multimedia applications.

SAN FRANCISCO—I have a shameful confession to make: Dont tell my wife, but I have a crush on Steve Jobs.

Wheres Apple Computers answer to the Tablet PC? The Mac maker isnt talking yet, but I predict it will have plenty to say about Microsofts new portable-computing initiative next year—if the pen-driven slate takes hold in the market.
