I'd have no Pixar, iMac, iPod, iPad, or macbook without Steve Jobs. And seeing how utterly hopeless and stupid I am with all things Windows, I just might not have been able to meet all you LoT folks if it weren't for Mac. I'm looking forward to reading the biography that comes out in November. It's long been clear that this day was coming, but I wish it hadn't been today.

While I'm not a brand-loyal computer guy, I do have an iPod, which I love, and an android phone that I'm sure wouldn't exist if Steve Jobs hadn't created such a high standard for the rest of the industry to meet.

I'm moved by this quote from a piece on Huffington Post:

Quote:

The news of Jobs' passing spread instantly thanks in large part to smart phones, the most popular of which being the iPhone. A sweet irony for the innovative legend, whose vision pushed technology and communications forward in leaps and bounds over the past thirty years.

When those phones finish texting, tweeting and calling with the news, they'll go back to their other, groundbreaking uses: playing music, streaming podcasts and watching TV shows and movies.

Not that it diminishes the point bit Android is the most popular smartphone platform by a healthy margin. ( assuming we define most popular A's most used. )

Android is the most popular OS, iPhone is still the most popular device.

Given the way some folks are talking about him, I'll wait the full three days to offer my condolence, just in case.
