We built the iPod in weeks. It had to be what I thought it was going to be because there wasnt time for endless refinements.
I don't want the iPod to be my defining thing.
I had been doing MP3 players and handheld computers since 1990-1991, and so they sought me out because of my experience. And about 18 generations of iPod and three generations of iPhone later, I decided to leave Apple.
