Don't see your Jobs quote in this account, although there are many more skeptical quotes, such as "Jobs said he lived seven minutes from a grocery and wasn't sure he would use Ginger to get there." http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/3533.html http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/3533.html

Looks like the Jobs quote was a rumour, at least according to BusinessWeek in 2001: "Other stories claimed that Apple Computer co-founder Steven P. Jobs got an early peek and made the wacky prediction that cities would redesign themselves around the device. (Jobs denies he ever said this.)" http://www.businessweek.com/stories/2001-12-16/commentary-ginger-cant-run-on-hype-alone http://www.businessweek.com/stories/2001-12-16/commentary-gi... But then, I wrote "reportedly", and it was indeed widely reported at the time :)
