While that may be true, it is hard to argue that the man was not a visionary.

RIP Steve.

The man changed virtually every American citizen's daily life with the ipod and iphone, that is a rare occurrence in today's world. He was a genius and a revolutionary inventor. RIP

**** iPods. Mp3 players were around long before the iPod. Just like search engines existed long before Google was even conceived. Google didn't do anything original. Same with Apple's iPod. They just made successful products in their respective markets. Congrats, but you didn't change the world.

Even though he didn't, the fact that he was forced out of the company he founded and then later came back to save it and make it the most valuable company in the world is pretty storybook.

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.

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.
