In context Jobs was talking about getting them, putting them away and losing them.

  "How are we going to communicate with this? We don't want to carry around a mouse, so what are we going to do? Oh, a stylus, right? We're going to use a stylus? No. Who wants a stylus? You have to get them, put them away, you lose them, yuck. So let's not use a stylus. We're going to use the best pointing device in the world; a pointing device that we're all born with - we're born with ten of them. We're going to use our fingers. We're going to touch it with our fingers. And we have invented a new technology called multi-touch..."

      They didn't, but then again they also now have a stylus, so at least they are consistent.

      By the way, I'm not saying they did, I'm just including the entire quote from Jobs. The important part of the quote in this context is that Jobs was obviously referring to the stylus being the primary input device for the iPhone being unacceptable.

      Of course they didn't. That never prevented Steve from claiming they did...
