Jonathan Ive. All the others mentioned are office dweebs or engineers. Jobs is a design guru. He's not a nuts and bolts designer but he does two things quite well: 1) design has changed. Visionaries need to know WHEN a viable product can be manufactured as well as WHAT that product will be.* 2) know how to hire good designers. Jobs has gotten quite good at both, and I think Ive probably has probably picked up the same skills. As contrasted to Microsoft which is all office and engineering people and no visionaries. ---- * Newton - right idea too early - tech not ready * iPod - timed just right. Hard drive finally ready so tons of music could be stored on tiny device. Now flash memory is large enough. * flat screen iMac - flat screens cheap enough
