He was totally right:

"I'm not convinced people want to watch movies on a TINY SCREEN"

Later they created a device with a much bigger screen(at least six times bigger) and called it IPOD, but it had not a tiny screen.

The same could be said about small computers. When I got my first laptop I considered at least 17'' necessary, which was very bulky, I told everybody that.

Then I got lots of complaints from people when I got a 13'' macbook air:"You said you will never use anything smaller than 17 inches".

But I didn't say that. I said that given the resolution they had at the time, I needed 17 inches, but obviously I wanted the same screen in a smaller size at a reasonable price.

The 13 inches macbook has more pixels on it than my old laptop.
