Yeah my niece has one she never uses, basically it's an iPod touch.
Steve Jobs was a jerk. When he thought he had the market tied up, he berated his employees, berated employees at hotels, stores, etc, berated his own customers, should have been brought up on harassment charges for several interviews, tried from the beginning to put competition out of business, thereby hurting the consumer, instead of joining the competition. Tried to sue over things that he never should have received a patent for, such as rounded corners and didn't do anything remotely close to innovation for many, many, many, many years. He denied his child, left her to grow up in welfare, didn't pay a dime for her and ignored her for many years. A man that we'll do that to his own child could care less about CUSTOMERS.
Why would I want to put money in the pocket of a jerk that first wants to stop competition and innovation, which ultimately hurts not only the consumer, but the technology field here in the USA. He wanted everyone here to be Apple customers by force, by banning products, that's much like a dictator. He wanted a monopoly, we don't do monopolies here. When competition is stifled, the consumer is the one that suffers. I don't support someone that does that. Steve Jobs is not the god HE thought he was and that some people elevated him to after his death.
Most people don't realize that Wozniak was the innovator, not Jobs. Jobs was the cult leader that was responsible for gathering followers and Jobs did that job well. Job's contributions were the aesthetics.
I can't stand Steve Jobs and the way he ran Apple, which has become boring and stale. I don't want "Yesterday's Product v5.1" nor do I care about or respect a company that has adopted the business model of "try to stop the competition, not try and keep up with them". Nope. Don't like it one bit, it keeps the innovation away from me, the consumer and I have a right to that innovation, a right to not have the day old bread forced down my throat because someone wanted to keep the fresh bread from coming in instead of making their own fresh bread.
