Creator of iPod Quits Apple
A major shuffle in the management at Apple Inc saw Tony Fadell, the creator of the wildly popular iPod, leaving the company with his wife to devote more time to their young family.
Fadell has been credited with being the first to envision the iPod and at the time of leaving he was serving as the Senior Vice President of the company’s iPod division. Fadell quit the full-time position after seven years with Apple Inc but he will continue to stay on as the personal advisor to company CEO Steve Jobs.
Fadell’s exit comes at a time when the iPod stands at a critical juncture facing competition from new entrants in the market for portable digital media players. Still, next generation devices from Apple like the iPod Nano and iPod Touch consistently outsell their nearest competitors by huge margins all over the world.
Fadell will be replaced by Mark Papermaster who will head the iPod and iPhone divisions and report directly to Steve Jobs. Papermaster arrives at Apple after a long 25-year stint at IBM where he was closely associated with the development of several crucial projects. This has led to IBM accusing Papermaster of compromising company secrets to a competitor and even suing him for breach of non-compete agreement.
