On a serious note, I doubt anyone at Apple has the aggots to continue to be as defiant and pednantic as Jobsy about the vision of the product to keep the iphone/pad/pod at the forefront of their respective fields.
I read an article in US medical literature that suggested that while he didn't depend on the Apple a day solution he went the "alternative medicine" route when his Pancreatic Cancer was first diagnosed.
As a result he didn't accept real medical treatment until it was a bit late.

Imagine if we were still walking around with Nokia 5110's.
Actually my dad would like that!
lol

There's only a few ppl that would get coverage like this. Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg, Larry Page (google), Sergey Brin (google)
I'm with your Dad!
We old guys don't carry handbags, and therefore only buy gadgets that fit in our pockets. ;)
That's why I bought a Nokia 7100S when my previous, smaller, phone died.

I had a look at the Samsung Galaxy S.
It is pretty, and capable, but would is definitely be a move into handbag territory..

Looks like Bill Gates' billions has helped find a vaccine for Malaria. I wonder if Gates will be remembered as fondly as Jobs?
