If you watch the demonstrations this thing is innovative as the dickens, which in my mind goes hand in hand with metric. If you watch an old TNT movie - "Pirates of Silicon Valley" - it makes it clear that Jobs was always the radical experimenter while Gates was the shrewd businessman, and this is reflected in the novel iPhone interface vs. the standard Windows PC. So I would expect someone like Jobs to say 11 mm, without the weird inch conversions. Nat PS The only drawback is its locked to the AT&T/Cingular network

In fact, I believe he described the thinness of the Macbook Pro's in mm as well. Nice to see one American CEO who isn't shy on using SI when he needs to.
