The phone is almost necessary to market

According to foreign media reports, special attention to Apple's proprietary technology blog "patent apple" (patently apple) Jack Purcher published laptop screen special reports, reports with Walter Isaacson (Walter Isaacson) of the "Steve Jobs Biography" and Apple patent granted , reveals to us another iPhone prototype: iPod phone. The phone is almost necessary to market. In addition, the article also reviews the iPhone "slide to unlock" the baked process laptop fan.
 
In Walter Isaacson (Walter Isaacson) written by "Steve Jobs Biography", interesting stories, including the iPhone and Apple have released seriously considered developing an iPod-style smartphone. Briefly said, the story is this:

In 2005, Steve Jobs began to focus on a secret project to develop Tablet PC. It began when Steve Jobs invited to attend a friend of his wife's 50th birthday dinner, and the birthday of the birthday happens to be Microsoft's Compaq CQ35 screen Tablet PC developed one of the main engineers. Bill Gates (Bill Gates) also attended the dinner.

The engineer said the day continued the development of Microsoft's Tablet PC information, Gates is afraid of the engineer to Steve Jobs revealed too much Compaq CQ36 screeninformation, and this product will change the world and out of notebook computers. He even asked Steve Jobs quickly get the tablet software licenses.

I think this part of the narrative is likely to arouse controversy, the next day anyway, Steve Jobs set up a secret project to develop without a keyboard or a stylus tablet. He asked the team to develop an acceptable number of input screen, which is later known "multi-touch" (Multi-Touch) technology. Six months later, Jonathan Yi Fu (Jony Ive) has come up with a rough but workable prototype Compaq CQ40 screen. Yifu was also worried that Steve Jobs would say, "This is really a pile of dog feces," and then shot the idea, but he decided to take a risk, and Steve Jobs made a special private show. Fortunately, Steve Jobs liked the idea, he exclaimed: "This is the future!"

Isaacson wrote that this great idea to let Steve Jobs that can solve them in the design of mobile phone interface bottlenecks. Steve Jobs said: "If it can use the phone, I know we can always put it on a tablet PC to use."

Jobs asked Fidel, Arthur Rubinstein and Schiller, went to Yi Fu's design studio to open a secret meeting, Yifu the multi-touch demo to show them. Fidel exclaimed. But they were not sure whether this can be used on the phone. So Compaq CQ41 screenthey decided to go two steps simultaneously: P1 code with an iPod scroll wheel to operate on behalf of mobile phone development plan, code-named P2 is based on the multi-touch screen interface,

P1 and P2 plan their development for six months, Steve Jobs called his cronies once again into the conference room, do a final decision. Fidel has been working in the development roller mode of operation, but he admitted they could not a simple wheel-dial methods. Was the end of 2005, this story has been confirmed in a 2005 patent, the patent in Compaq CQ42 screenJanuary 2006 in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for registration. In 2010, Apple received the patent, and more proof of this.

The patent describes the project from the P1 map. We can see the dialing process flow diagram and a very complex system of language data structures.
