Jobs' "funny" NY hat revealed

02/06/10 20:40

Steve Jobs took the iPad road show to the Big Apple this week, where he met with various mucky-mucks at the New York Times and Wall Street Journal to discuss bringing their content to the Device That Will Change Everything.

Normally, an item like that would be ho-hummed by the MacInquirer staff, but one of the key sources for the story provided a bizarre detail that quickly piqued our curiousity: New York magazine reports that Jobs met with the Times folks wearing what they describe as “a very funny hat -- a big top hat kind of thing.”

Okay -- NOW we’re interested.

We texted a request for more info to one of our minions embedded deep within the bowels of the Gray Lady (hmm...that didn’t sound quite right). The hat thing is apparently 100 percent accurate. Our source even provided a picture snapped stealthily with their iPhone showing Steve and Apple COO Tim Cook waiting to meet with the multimedia department of the Times:

Looks like the pressure of launching the iPad is taking its toll. Either that, or Steve was also planning to demo a new close-up magic app for the Times folks. Stay tuned.
