> Ive was just one voice That's what I said! Problem is the other executives gave him leeway to steer product development as he saw fit. It's a side effect of Jobs' passing that he didn't have the counterbalancing voices. You could blame the executive team I suppose, but you cant really blame people for "not being Steve". When the other executives decided to speak up it was Ive's decision to leave when he was told he couldn't have things his way any more.
