The Pivacs, been working on this for the last 13-14 years. It takes time to create something new. Even today's iphone has radically different features compared to the original one. As an example, iphone probably took close to 5 years, if you include the newtons it'll be close to 10-20 years. Once everything is set and ready, manufacturing is basically assembly the BOM provided. As stated in the other thread, they have recruited project managers, QC/QA personal, suppliers parts checks, Business managers in UAEs etc. Lets hope its not just for show.

In April 2003, at the "All Things Digital" executive conference, Jobs expressed his belief that tablet PCs and traditional PDAs were not good choices as high-demand markets for Apple to enter, despite receiving many requests for Apple to create another PDA. He believed that cell phones were going to become important devices for portable information access, and that mobile phones needed to have excellent synchronization software. At that time, instead of focusing on a follow-up to their Newton PDA, Jobs had Apple focus on the iPod. Jobs also had Apple develop the iTunes software, which can be used to synchronize content with iPod devices. iTunes was released in January 2001.[10][11][12][13] On September 7, 2005, Apple and Motorola released the ROKR E1, the first mobile phone to use iTunes. Jobs was unhappy with the ROKR, feeling that having to compromise with a non-Apple designer (Motorola) prevented Apple from designing the phone they wanted to make.[14] In September 2006, Apple discontinued support for the ROKR, and released a version of iTunes that included references to an as-yet unknown mobile phone that could display pictures and video.[15]
