Absolutely. The genius of Jobs was making devices that did complex things in a very simple way. He made them sleek and elegant and desirable. He realised that what people wanted wasn't a tablet that could be rooted and equipped with a dozen different OS's, running a host of dodgy apps that you needed a degree in computing to get running properly. What people wanted was something that you switched on, it worked and looked really cool while it was doing it.
A man who will be sadly missed, my thoughts go out to his family friends and colleagues at this sad and difficult time for them.
