How long was he actually at Motorola? It seems like he was just there to help Google flip it.

Soylet has done a great job with getting media attention. Thumbs up for that!

Steve was one of the best product guys this world has seen. The same qualities that this article complained over, were the qualities that also allowed him to provide the world with all these gadgets. There's two sides to every coin, and no one's perfect.

I've interviewed with Jacob at iZettle. Great guy and team!
