In the trailer, Jobs is stunned by Woziak’s development of an operating system, saying it “changes everything” and calling it “profound.” Wozniak downplays his innovation, saying that “nobody wants to buy a computer.” Jobs, however, sees its true potential and insists, “How does somebody know what they want if they’re never even seen it?”

The real-life Wozniak told Gizmodo that the cinematic depiction of his relationship with Jobs is “totally wrong. Personalities and where the ideas of computers affecting society did not come from Jobs… Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed. I’m embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better. Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture.”

Gizmodo further reports Wozniak saying that “the fact that it didn’t happen is unimportant. The important thing is whether the meaning portrayed is correct. It’s ok to make up a dramatic scene but is much better if it sort of happened and had the meaning portrayed. But this is only one short clip of the movie. The entire movie may be very good. But the initial exposure to the social meaning of a technology revolution went in a very different direction in those early times.”

Update: 1/26/12 8:00 p.m. EST: Entertainment Weekly reports that jOBS publicist Amanda Lundburg responded with a statement hours after the comments by Wozniak:

The film is not a documentary, nor is it meant to be a blow by blow, word for word account of all conversations and events… The filmmakers acknowledge that not every single thing in the film is a precise representation of what took place, but is feature film entertainment about one of the most important, creative and impactful people [in] our culture’s history taking place over three decades [that are] compressed into a two hour film.

Directed by Joshua Michael Stern jOBS opens April 1.
