That might be true regarding the iPhone when compared to the massive competition they face nowadays, but Apple has been an amazing innovator in technology and marketability. They really started A LOT, and their products still excel in certain arenas and aspects.

Cell phones were around before apple.

Laptops were around before apple.

Personal portable music devices were around before apple.

How do I know this?

I am old enough to remember when apple was just another company.

Back in grade school we would use our school's apple computer for 10 minutes then get bored and go outside and play tackle football.

I say stand back when people are mourning who they
choose to mourn.
You may go to bed for 2 days if your favorite musician
dies. And if you posted your thoughts on here?...., i would respect that
and not dis you...

Par for the course of any RIP thread on FFXU.

Jobs was no Thomas Edison. However, the man did know how to design, package and market existing, sometimes difficult to use technology like very few before him and probably for quite some time after.

I have similar feelings about Steve Jobs and Sam Walton,,,both started out as American innovators,,,,then became huge supporters of china,,,

They don't make my list of great American businessmen, they are why we're fucked,,,

Sorry, I don't buy apple products,I don't shop at wal-mart,,,

Fuck china

Do a Google search on the inventor of the automobile and I guarantee you Henry Ford's name won't come up. Do a Google search for the inventor of film, cartoons and amusement parks and I guarantee you Walt Disney's name won't come up.

Nobody will argue the innovative genius of these individuals. Jobs was an innovative genius. No, Jobs wasn't Edison, but there is only one Edison.

Hold down Ctrl, Alt, Del then go to the hidden icon menu and select auto destruct sequence. Click the little red button, close your eyes and breath deeply. An odorless gas will be released any you can then board the appleship to planet xenon. Godspeed.

I don' think it's a flop. Just not what people were expecting.

There are two reasons why I'm going to buy the iPhone 4S:

1. I have a 3G (not a 3GS) and it's fucking KILLING ME because of how slow it is
2. It runs on Sprint, which is cheaper and has better coverage than AT&T and is unlimited-ish. If it wasn't available on Sprint I'd have gone to Verizon and just gotten the iPhone 4.
