“According to the Times, ‘(The iPod) was put together starting in 2001 by hardware designers led by Tony Fadell, a young engineer who had worked at the Apple spinoff General Magic, at Philips Electronics and briefly at RealNetworks, led by Rob Glaser, who has developed the Rhapsody music service.’
.
So, Fadell designed the iPod as an independent contractor and shopped it to Apple, which hired him to bring it to market.
How he did it was spelled out in Electronics Design Chain Magazine, though the article makes no reference to Fadell.”
