• Tony Fadell

  • About

    • American engineer, designer, entrepreneur, and investor; known for early work at General Magic, later leadership on the Apple/iPod line, and later work associated with the Apple/iPhone and Nest Labs.
    • In the Planet Money episode Person/Tony Fadell/Pod/26/06/We almost had a smartphone in the 90s. Why did it fail?, Fadell's General Magic experience is framed as a contrast between lavishly funded, unconstrained 1990s tinkering and the tighter constraints and deadlines that later shaped focused Apple products.
