Steve Jobs is nowhere near as important as people think.

Its the design team that mattrers.... Jonathan Ive is the daddy of current Apple design. An unassuming Brit from London, educated in Newcastle.

Having said that, hope he beats the big C once more, good luck.  

He's important because HE'S the one who boosted Apple from the ruins, HE'S the one who convinces things to consumers.

I mean sure the stuff they pump out is good, but if some not-as-good company, say... Sony, pumped out those SAME exact... stuffs and Apple didn't exist, they would not have sold them because they didn't have Steve Jobs. He's like the Gabe Newell of the electronics industry.

if you say so... but Steve Jobs was around before the iPod and this wasnt the way Apple was perceived.

The iPod and its incredible/simple/intuitive design is what defines Apple as they stand today.

Hmm... I got your point. I mean, I hate Apple as much as the next guy [never bought an iPod, iTouch, iCrap, iSuck...] or any sort of Mac computer, but I've gotta give credit to Jobs. The way he's perceived, and the fact that so many people idolize and listen to him makes him a success in my book.

It's like.. he worked himself up to the popularity is today. Now, if you see his name or Apple's name on anything, it's guaranteed at least 5 Million Sales. Also, the fact that he's Steve Jobs gives him the right to practically do anything that he wants that other companies would not be able to get away with. If he developed a game and charged $20 for every DLC that came out, I'm sure he would completely get away with it, and Acti's barely getting away with $15.

I guess it doesn't have to do as whether he led Apple to greatness or not, it has to do with the fact that he worked himself to become so popular, that he is now the mascot of Apple and whenever he presents something, people will cheer [like Kevin Butler].
