Steve Jobs knew exactly what he was doing. If you go back past 2005 even further to 2002 you could read articles describing his negotiations with a small Denver company named MPEG-LA to license the technologies that would be the core of iTunes.

MPEG-LA is an IP management company whose mission was to fully commercialize uses of the MPEG patents, regardless of patent owner. It was one of the first efforts to pool patents and share revenues.

Steve Jobs fought MPEG-LA like crazy to get what he wanted. I have seen various prototypes of services which indicate that virtually all of the arguments (save, unfortunately #15) had been already managed in one form or another by the summer of 2002.

Great post, though!

Nice to read from you again, Kontra. I would like to add to the point that you and other posters made.

On Mobile OS, Apple had learned some hard lessons from the Newton, which was critically wounded by the Palm Pilot, and the subsequent fall of Palm, aided by the iPod (despite its intent to be a music player rather than PDA). While Apple did have good experience in these markets, they also were intimately aware of the risks.

If I remember correctly, when OSX was introduced, Jobs said it had to be scalable. This would lead you to believe that this was in his shirt pocket–even if nothing but a concept back then.
