I honestly just feel bad for the haters. Jesus people, a tech legend just died.
Like Apple or hate it, the technology world wouldn't be what it is today without Steve Jobs. No iPhone means no big push from HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Google, etc to step up and release quality phones. The Apple TV was one of the first media computers commercially available and now there's a whole market for the segment. Apple revolutionized the mobile music market. Before the iPod you all carried around big ass CD players. Now there's a while media player industry. The same can be said about laptops and desktops and software.
And I'm not an Apple fanboi. I've got an iPhone, a HP Touchpad, and a Windows 7 laptop.
I doubt it. Apple has 3 different phones available right now. Expect an iPhone 5 next year.
