The "i," Jobs later explained, was to emphasize that the devices would be seamlessly integrated with the Internet. 关于字母i,乔布斯后来解释道,是要强调这些设备将与互联网无缝集成。

He left the room and called the head of HP. 他站起来,离开会议室,给惠普的总裁打电话。
Let's tear up our arrangement, Jobs proposed, and we will get out of the printer business and just let you do it. 咱们解除合约吧,乔布斯建议,我们会退出打印机业务,让你们自己做。
Then he came back to the boardroom and announced the decision. 然后他回到会议室宣布他们退出打印机业务。
