Apple's Scott Forstall on Most Creative People in Business List
Scott Forstall, Apple's senior vice president of iPhone software, places number two on the "100 Most Creative People in Business 2011" list by "Fast Company" (http://www.fastcompany.com).
Here's what "Fast Company" has to say about Forstall: "Jonathan Ive's slick designs may grab the headlines whenever Steve Jobs introduces a new product, but it's Scott Forstall's smart software that fills Apple's coffers. As senior VP of iPhone software, Forstall is the chief architect of iOS, the industry-defining operating system that runs on more than 160 million iPhones, iPads, and iPods.
"The popularity of that tap, pinch, and swipe interface has sent Cupertino's earnings rocketing: Revenue hit a record $26.7 billion in the last quarter of 2010; 65% of it came from sales of iOS devices. Apple's Mac operating system is now being remodeled around Forstall's baby, with this summer's OS X Lion update set to include numerous features borrowed from iOS, including multitouch controls."
