A Farewell to iPhone Bob
Some of you on the TiPb Forums have shown some concern over Nelson and the iPhone 3GS tour video. Our question is -- what ever happened to iPhone Bob?
Bob Borchers, if you weren't familiar with the name, starred in the original iPhone and iPhone 3G tour videos on the Apple website.
Well it pains me to say this but according to the WSJ Bob has left Apple to join venture-capital firm, Opus Capital.
Bob, a former executive at Nokia, Nike, and Apple (since 2004, working on the iPod and iPhone) said he enjoyed his time with Apple but the venture capitalists at Opus have given him an opportunity he simply could not pass up.
TiPb and many of your fans will miss you greatly! (It's really a shame you can't take Nelson with you...)
Good luck Bob!

Yeah, I am going to miss Bob and his perfect hands. However, Nelson is sorta appealing in a Lawrence Fishburne kinda way. Nelson, you can teach me all about the iphone any day.
^ Ooohhh boy...
lol, is this really news?
I don't like Nelson.... =/
I miss Bob, come back Bob!
Why would ANYONE quit a job at Apple btw??? why??
I never liked Bob, he had a serial killer + rapist white male look on him. And although he didn't sound it, his eyes looked extremely arrogant.
Nelson on the other hand, his head is friggin huge compared to his body.
How about Apple play a celebrity to do this?
Bob scared me. I'm not gonna lie. They should get cooler people to do this. I bet "Nelson" doesn't even work at an Apple Retail Store. They should get iJustine to do this. Just saying.
The new guy is really annoying to me. I almost didnt want to watch the guided tour because of him. Bob had a good voice. Although he did look like a rapist.
@Big willie lmfao
If you smeellllll what the Nelson is cooking..
I heard the reason Bob left was because whenever he mentioned doing the 3GS video people got really quiet, so he took his oversized fur coat and big sunglasses and stormed out of Apple headquarters. Celebrities nowadays..
Really?? Are you guys serious, it's just another person. It's not like you even have to watch the video anyways. How did you become an "iPhone Bob" fan anyway.
I think the new guy is better IMO. Not to be offensive cos I know I'm a nerd as well. But I think a lot if people just liked bob Better because he's more nerd-like and everybody could relate to him. Nelson on the other hand is alot more hip. Sorry if I've offended anybody, just the way I see it.
Apple reflects the changing times of the US! Now we have a black president so they changed it to a black guy!
