What??? You mean it's not just Steve in closet sliding out post-its underneath the door?
What I think is remarkable with Steve Jobs is that back in 1998-99, he already had the concept of the iPhone in his head. You could tell (from Macworld, interviews, etc) he hated the Newton (he thought it was completely garbage) and was already brainstorming the proper handheld device...just back then, he had not yet gotten the Apple board of governors on his side to kick out Gil Amelio so he wasn't in charge yet at the time.
