Right, I mean it's not like the first iPad was missing a camera when most mobile devices came equipped with them. And isn't the supply guy the one responsible for Apple's profit margins, and therefore the reason why Apple is so valued as a company?

One would expect that whatever he plans is in line with what Jobs would have planed, and not have to rely on Jobs' ability to predict the sate of the market for the next 5 years.

Actually I do. I think that it takes longer than a year for the development of a device with a different size, so it means that the project would have started while Jobs was still around.
