Apple employs a big pile of talented individuals, but I highly doubt they went from developer pushback in Summer 07 to the SDK in Spring 08 (when the SDK started hitting Apple's partners). Particularly considering the huge changes to the API calls between iPhone's OS 1 and 2. It looks to me much more like the SDK was dependent on an OS build that just wasn't ready for primetime in 2007 and Steve was just trying to spin what they had as something you want.
