I’m not going to be coy about it. Steve Jobs has made things that have been part of my life since I was six years-old. The man, through his craft, influenced the man I’m still becoming.
- Aaron Silvers: “Influence“
A brilliant man has exited 1 Infinite Loop. But his influence will be felt for years to come. Just watch this.
I like it. It’s small. It’s fast. I’m learning. I’m out there, you know, in the world now, more so than I was before. It’s a good tool, but as I said I don’t know…from what I hear from other people, they prefer the computer to this. I can’t compare. But, you know, I do like it.
The comment, “I’m out there, you know, in the world now…” is extremely powerful. These devices are empowering all kinds of people.
I’m WAY late in posting this, but this is really well done, and captures the incredibly broad spectrum of users that have found the iPad to be something they can’t live without.
The book also states that after Jobs found out about Android’s similarities to iOS, he felt betrayed enough to somehow keep the development of the iPad hidden from Eric Schmidt while he was still a board member of Apple.

Wow. Very interesting.
Stating the plain truth, that the iPad 2 has no serious competition as a mainstream consumer device, doesn’t make you biased. It makes you accurate.
Any more, we don’t need quotes from the articles by these yahoos. Just reference Walt Mossberg and we know it’s going to be full of crap.
Also, his site is a horrible experience without the help of Readability or Instapaper.
