You are a freaking idiot. I used to have a Creative Nomad Jukebox. It was an awesome mp3 player. It was widely sold...I mean you could go down to freaking Wal Mart and get one. Came out well before the iPod.

GTFO Apple idiots.

Just because someone else had the first of something doesn't mean it was the best or revolutionary.

Did I say that? No. But to come on here and act like the iPod was the first mp3 player or the first one "available to the masses" is

You're right, Steve Jobs and Apple contributed absolutely nothing to this society over the past ten years.

Wow, butthurt much?

I appreciate what Steve Jobs did for society but let's not make him out to be something he isn't, mmkay? He did not change every American's life with the iPod. Christ.

No, but it was definitely the first one to get it right in terms of appeal for the masses. Early MP3 players were a pain in the ass to use (comparatively speaking, that is).

No but the iPod and iTunes revolutionized that market and the music industry.

The Creative Nomad Jukebox = The Matt Cassel of MP3 players.

That's not accurate, because a lot of people have heard of Matt Cassel.

Listen, I give him full credit for his marketing ideas and product concepts. The dude knew what people wanted out of electronic devices and he made it happen for them. He's an INSANELY smart and intelligent businessman, and made shit that millions of people love. That's impressive, it really is. Congrats. But he's not a ****ing hero, and he didn't make my life any better by building all the gadgets he sold.

I've owned one Apple product in my entire life-- this MacBook I'm typing on right now. I love it. But if Steve Jobs never existed, I probably would have just simply bought another laptop.

JFC, what's next? Did Johannes Gutenberg write the ****ing Bible?

You couldn't be more wrong. Do you know what critical mass is? It means until X number of people start using your technology, nobody jumps on board. It's why people were afraid to buy HD DVDs.

He accelerated innovation in the PC industry. Introduced PCs to the mass market. Created a user-friendly interface that inspired Windows. When more people start using PCs, then other developers (e.g. software developers) become more likely to want to use your product.

He created critical mass for mp3's. You wouldn't have been able to buy a ****ing Zune without the iPod, because music producers wouldn't have wasted their time converting their entire library music to a platform nobody was using (except illegally).

He innovated the iPhone. No iPhone, likely no Droid either.

He innovated the iPad, creating a revolution in touchpads.

So if you like using computers (with Windows or a similar software), enjoy touchscreen phones with apps, enjoy touchpads, or enjoy being able to download mp3's, and not just albums but individual songs as well... then yes, Jobs most certainly made your life better.
