>It's not easy to understand or describe why Jobs succeeded as wildly as he did in his 2nd tour at Apple. because iOS and Aluminum. 1) Inertia. The flick page scrolling single handily changed touch. I would bet against the iPhone ever taking off without it. 2) Locked down app store. The OS itself is never taken down or modified by apps. 3) Power management. Apps weren't allowed to stay running, and even now silently kill in the background with little visual indication. Milling computers out of Aluminum was a very innovative decision.
