He also takes a jab at Nokia:
Interestingly NPR reported today a paper or findings published by David Larcker, a professor of accounting at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and Ph.D. student Anastasia Zakolyukina when they set out to find the answer to the question: "How Can You Tell When A CEO Is Lying?"

Two things that they point out in an interview with Jim Zarroli of NPR:

... lying executives tend to overuse words like "we" and "our team" when they talk about their company. They avoid saying "I."
Check out the number of times Stevie uses "We" just in the snippets you (Reggie) quoted.

and...


...Lying CEOs also tend to use a lot of words that express positive emotion — things are fabulous and fantastic and extraordinary...
..."If all my speech is 'fantastic,' 'superb,' 'outstanding,' 'excellent' and all my speech sounds like a big hype — it probably is,"

,,,ain't that^ just awesome, amazing, and a real game changer?
