Apple Thoughts: 'I Want a Phone People Will Fall in Love With'

"Former Apple product manager, Bob Brochers, recently gave a lecture to students about how the original iPhone was realized by a small team of engineers that Steve Jobs put together."

I think Mr. Brochers and his team fulfilled Steve's wish for a phone that "people will fall in love with" don't you? Interesting story about the beginnings, especially that they had to change out the plastic screen after Jobs came to them with his iPhone that was all scratched up. Gorilla Glass to the rescue, although they won't admit they use it for some reason. Also cool is that the ads all show 9:42, the time the iPhone was launched. More tidbits can be found here.
