And just as a clarification to their devoted fanbase, Jobs included this gem: "You know, we're not perfect. We know that, you know that. And phones aren't perfect either."

Submission + - Mormon Proselyting Social Networking (ksl.com)

In some ways, this creates the reverse of knocking on doors that Latter-day Saint missionaries have been doing for more than 150 years.

On the new launch site, more than 2,000 Church members have listed their profiles and are sharing their life stories and faith. Some 1,300 more are working on creating them.
