Most are due to technical limitations at the time or expecting too much from the future. The way he words it usually avoids directly contradicting himself even though he is. The iPod Video has to be the worst example as there was no explaination or major technical changes.
Yeah I'd say so too and I'm glad of it, I had a 3rd gen nano and now an iPhone and I love having music videos on it as well one or two movies or shows if i'm traveling
Steve spoke publicy a LOT over the years, perhaps more then any other executive in history. There is video of him being interviewed by the Media even in the late 1970s/early 1980s (he recognized the value of promoting Apple through giving talks/being interviewed, that is something that I think even Steve Wozniak doesn't appreciate). If you talk as much about complex topics (not just computer tech), he was discussing philosophy, markets/consumer behavior, etc. Anyone would wind up contradicting themselves at times. The two things that stood out with Steve Jobs and Also Bill Gates is there lack of focus on internet potential. Steve Jobs said in the early years that "ethernet" never really took off and was promoting Apple networking protocol instead (everything was proprietary, I think that was there mistake). And Bill Gates didn't even see value of internet/online business potential (he stated that TCP/IP wasn't that important) the early versions of Microsoft Windows didn't even include a TCP/IP stack (you had to install third party TCP/IP software on top of windows). Nobody can predict the market all the time. Even Jeff Bezos took many years before Amazon started turning a profit (he was living off money for years that he made on Wall Street before he launched Amazon), it was an Amazon software engineer that came up with the idea of Amazon Prime Subscription/Faster Cheaper Shipping, and that is when Amazon really exploded (makes you wonder what all the Amazon Product/Marketers were doing all those years that they couldn't have thought of having the subscription model/faster shipping option
