RIP Steve Jobs; visionary

I would imagine this isn't news to anyone reading AndroidNZ, as no doubt you've already seen it's shadow cast over the whole of the internet . Nevertheless, I felt compelled to also acknowledge the passing of Steve Jobs.

Regardless of how you feel about Apple, Steve Job's was a luminary of our times. His vision for Apple, and of course the iconic product that will forever be associated with him, the iPhone, is what propelled them to where they stand today.

No matter where your tastes in tech may run, his passing should elicit sadness.

While you could make a case for Google's expansion into the mobile space being inevitable, the reality is that you're enjoying your Android device (or WP7 device, or Symbian touchscreen device) because of Steve Jobs.

To Steve Jobs; thank you for your visionary contribution to the technology that is so much a part of our daily lives. You will be missed.

    I didn't think I would be sad as I'm not a huge Apple fan but I actually feel like a piece of the world has gone with the passing of Steve. He will be missed.

    While I wouldn't buy an Apple product I had great respect for Steve Jobs and his influence on the technology world. RIP Steve.
