Supposedly the author of "the one device" book heard about Tony Fadell from his peers at Apple and they said, "don't believe a word he says". Tony just admitted to making up a huge lie to the author about Apple VP of Marketing Phil Schiller. Tony's involvement with the iPhone appears to have been close to zilch. His iPod group tried to make a iPod with a phone in it using the click wheel as the user interface. It was terrible, so Jobs went with the Mac team who built a tiny touchscreen based Nextstep computer that became the iPhone.
