"The other half of Apple is big strategic decisions. Do the iPod. Do the iPhone. Do the iPad."
True... add saying 'no' to that when it's too early... Don't ship a phone yet. Don't ship a tablet computer yet. Steve knows when to say no. I'm sure they could have shipped some kind of phone years earlier and some kind of tablet years earlier and there were probably people inside Apple who were cursing him for waiting at the time. Kudos to Jobs for waiting until the exactly the right time and until the right feature set and performance characteristics were viable.
- T-hawk 15y ago> Don't ship a tablet computer yet. How quickly we forget the Apple Newton. Part of Jobs' legacy is also how well the company was able to bury and move on from missteps. For every company like Nintendo that recovers from a Virtual Boy, there's plenty of CueCats and click-of-death Zip drives.
