so much for the notion that "Apple can do no wrong"
when it comes to products and introductions.

If you believe the legends about Jobs' ceaselessly
hyperfrenetic perfectionism when it comes to product
development and roll-out, this kind of "stepping on a rake and
getting the handle in the face" moment argues at
least as strongly as any other evidence that
Jobs has been seriously preoccupied with other matters.

or it argues that his bandwidth is actually finite and
he entrusted the ball labeled "MobileMe" to someone
who then dropped it.
