Maybe we should change it to 'What did Steve Jobs ever do for us?' :) Apple will lapse back into the place they were before, where all their great 'innovation' (actually, taking ideas that already exist and making a viable product out of them) gets raped by everyone else and they end up losing their market share because they don't keep innovating. It's happened to Apple before more times than I can count. The cracks are already starting to appear, Android combined with HTC and Samsung phones is beating seven shades out of the iPhone 4S these days. If the next iPhone isn't a revolution (i.e. not just a feature bump) then they are gonna get screwed in the personal comms market IMHO. Maybe they'll just move on. A lot of people are already touting them as having designs on the TV and entertainment market. -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.
