Sure. At least General Magic shipped several devices and helped influence what would later became both iOS and Android. The company employed a lot of people who would go on to have a huge impact on mobile computing. It was more than just vapor!

THE software engineering director? Sounds impressive and I'm sure she directed something or other, but that's a VP-level role at Apple.
