What I like the most is: "You can only connect the dots looking backwards". It is a very good perspective when things don't make much sense in the present, and also gives an insight about the Jobs-Woz relationship. Woz was definitely the hacker, and Jobs, after his two years at Reeds College (and the calligraphy stuff), sedimented his experience as a designer (the "pony-tail guy").
Looking at the role that design plays in Apple nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Jonathan Ive filling Jobs's shoes in the future, and that would be an excellent choice IMHO.
Of course, I also wonder how the young Steve Jobs would evaluate some of the current Apple's policies...
