Steve Jobs appeared for the last time on the D stage in 2010. He focused on the recently released and wildly successful iPad, but also touched on controversies with Adobe, intellectual property, Apple’s Chinese manufacturing, and maybe most notably, the end of the “PC” era.
After changing the name of the company to simply “Apple,” Steve Jobs joined us on stage again to discuss (and give a sneak peek of) the first unreleased iPhone.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates took the stage together to talk about their lives as collaborators, rivals, and the future of the technology business as seen from their unique perspectives.
Steve Jobs discussed the crucial need for setting product priorities, how mobile devices relate to desktop computers, and Apple’s fledgeling retail stores. He was asked the question that was on everyone’s mind—”What about an iPod Phone?”
Apple had gotten into the music business, and with the launch of iTunes, had become the biggest legal music download system in the world. Steve talks about Apple, music, and what would come next.
Not long after taking the CEO job at a troubled Apple Computer, Steve Jobs appeared on the first D stage to discuss his plans for the future, his changing role at NEXT, and his views of the technology landscape.
