> It would have been a much different story, if, for example, Jobs just demoed a video with surreptitious pause and play buttons. That would have been fraud Not really. I mean the iPhone did hit the shelves not long after that demo. So anyone on the street could try one out (they had physical demo units in store). Theranos wouldn't let anyone just play with their machine. But we're talking about a company that has a track record at shipping OSes (Apple). Even if they faked the iPhone demo, it would still have been believable that Apple could write an OS for a portable device.
