That's misquoted.
I wrote the "from a computer company to a consumer electronics company" part in this message.

David, I was perusing the earlier threads in the Group and noticed your remarks on Milton's comments on Apple's ability to make a successful cell phone.

Cell phones? Apple can't make a cell phone that stands out from the
very crowded field. In multimedia, TiVo (which Apple should buy *now*)
has the same head start over Apple that Apple has over Microsoft in
the music market, so that's going to be a struggle; the TiVo hardware-
software is an outstanding combination, universally loved by its users.
Apple can, however, make a computer that stands far ahead of the
crowd, and they do.
