  My thoughts exactly. Another possibility is that this was some decision that someone made at Apple without Steve Jobs' 'permission' or 'guidance' while he was on leave and this new response is Steve trying to reverse what he thinks is a bad decision without making look like the company: (1) 100% relies on him for its success (i.e. without him they would fall apart) and/or (2) doesn't know what the hell it's doing.
