Ive set up the demonstration in his conference room and showed it to Jobs privately,
于是，艾弗選擇在自己的會議室里私下向喬布斯展示團隊的想法，
knowing that he was less likely to make a snap judgment if there was no audience.
他知道，在沒有觀眾的情況下，喬布斯不大會作出草率的判斷。
Fortunately he loved it. "This is the future," he exulted.
幸運的是，他很喜歡這項技術。“這就是未來。”喬布斯高興地說。
It was in fact such a good idea that Jobs realized that
事實上，這個主意非常好，喬布斯意識到，
it could solve the problem they were having creating an interface for the proposed cell phone.
這可以解決他們為設想中的手機創建界面的問題。
That project was far more important,
由于手機項目更為重要，
so he put the tablet development on hold while the multi-touch interface was adopted for a phone-size screen.
于是喬布斯暫時擱置了平板電腦的研發，將多點觸控界面用于手機大小的屏幕上。
"If it worked on a phone," he recalled, "I knew we could go back and use it on a tablet."
“如果能用在手機上，”他回憶說，“那么我就知道，我們還能再回過頭來把這個技術用在平板電腦上。”
Jobs called Fadell, Rubinstein, and Schiller to a secret meeting in the design studio conference room,
喬布斯召集法德爾、魯賓斯坦和席勒前往設計部門的會議室，進行秘密會議，
where Ive gave a demonstration of multi-touch. "Wow!" said Fadell.
艾弗在會上演示了多點觸控技術。法德爾不禁驚呼，“哇”。
Everyone liked it, but they were not sure that they would be able to make it work on a mobile phone.
每個人都喜歡這項技術，但是還不確定能否在手機設備上予以實現。
They decided to proceed on two paths: P1 was the code name for the phone being developed using an iPod trackwheel,
他們決定兵分兩路：一組人馬研發滾輪手機，代號P1；
and P2 was the new alternative using a multi-touch screen.
另一組人馬研發多點觸摸屏手機，代號P2。
