During today’s iPad unveiling, Steve Jobs positioned Apple in two interesting new ways.

The first was as a mobile devices company. iPod, iPhone and now the iPad is their flagship line of products. MacBooks too are somewhat mobile devices. Now I don’t think Apple will be discontinuing their iMac, Mac Pro or Final Cut Studio businesses anytime soon, which makes his other statement all the more interesting.

To my argument that Apple will buy Yahoo! you can add Steve positioning Apple as a company at the intersection of technology and liberal arts. It seems to me picking up Yahoo!’s content and social network businesses would really help out that image.
