Wired blogs about Tony Fadell, the guy who apparently created the iPod (his exact contribution is unclear). He also designed the Philips Nino, one of the first Windows CE PDAs. I had one of those back in 1998, not a bad PDA but compared to Palms it was a brick, and when its battery connection broke, I never bothered to fix it or buy another PDA. I'm currently not mobile enough, but when the perfect device is available for cheap, I'll eventually fork some money for one.
