Silicon Valley, 1991 to 2011. Tony Fadell spends a decade building handheld computers nobody buys — at General Magic, which invented most of the modern phone and sold almost none, and at Philips, which shipped two and withdrew. Then in 2001 Apple hires him as a contractor to build a music player in under a year, with a hard disk the size of a coin, a battery that does not exist yet, and a shipping date already announced. What follows is the iPod, the iTunes Store, and the phone that eats the company's best product. This is an account of what it actually takes to move an object from a whiteboard to a loading dock, told from inside the schedule. Covers Tony Fadell, General Magic, Philips, Apple, and Nest Labs.
