Tony Fadell wanted Apple to buy Sonos; Steve wanted to sue it


A fun piece of Apple history has been revealed thanks to a look at how Sonos started and where it...

The Information’s Nick Wingfield wrote a piece entitled Where Does Sonos Go From Here, in which he revealed that an unnamed former Apple exec tried to persuade Steve Jobs to buy the audio company. The site’s John Gruber observed that the reference to a former senior exec made for a pretty limited list of possible names. However, since one of Conrad’s first acts was to fire the company’s chief product officer, Gruber suggests that me may be “as much ‘interim’ CEO as Steve Jobs was in 1997.”
