Apple Creates New Position: SVP of iPhone Software

Apple is apparently so pleased with progress on iPhone software development--and sees the iPhone as such an important part of the company's future--that they've created the new position of Senior Vice-President of iPhone Software and named Scott Forstall to fill the post, Macworld is reporting. The position reports directly to Steve Jobs.

Forstall, an 11-year Apple veteran, joined Jobs onstage to announce the rollout of the iPhone SDK in March. He previously worked on the Mac OS and interface.

The announcement leaves no doubt that Apple is planning on keeping iPhone front and center and evolving rapidly for some time to come.
