Newton in list of Steve-less Apple innovations
January 19th, 2009
Steve Jobs and crew have some great ideas, but not all Apple innovations have come under his watch.
That’s the basis behind Mac|Life’s “Top 10 Innovative Apple Products – That Steve DIDN’T Dream Up” post.
Two items on that list are familiar: the Newton platform, and the eMate 300. Dreamed up by Apple’s Steve Sakoman, Steve Capps, and Larry Tesler (with help from then-CEO John Sculley), the Newton MessagePad and eMate were creations Steve Jobs had nothing to do with.
Mac|Life wonders: “And if Jobs hadn’t come along and killed it, who knows what might have been?”
