steve jobs is such a such a son of a bitch it may be true that people dont read, i think the kindle mostly towards college students so they dont have to carry large heavy books around, and with android hes a douche too, the only reason steve makes his products is because he just wants money same with the iphone i hate apple

I think he knows that there are few companies out there that have the influence to design something that is so well accepted, and Google is just that company. The fact that they already have an SDK available has to really keep Jobs up at night biting his nails.

There are too many things, as you pointed out, that don't justify the $1800 pricetag. And I did see that article/video of the girl asking Jobs for a picture. I'm not really surprised that he did that though, because from what I've heard he's not all that friendly.

Another example of Jobs’ reality distortion field ? 40% read less than one book a year means that 60% read MORE than a book a year. Not that “people don’t read anymore”. He’s obviously trying to minimize the importance of Amazon’s kindle.

That's a good observation, and Jobs will of course do anything he can to minimize the attention given to products that aren't their own. I'm still a little shocked that he brought the Kindle into the conversation when Apple doesn't offer a competing product.

I don’t think the laptop will be a flop, but I’m skeptical as to how many people would really want to sacrifice not having a CD/DVD drive built-in.
What about that irreplaceable battery? even 5 hours doesn’t cut it for me. my Dell XPS 1210 provides 4.5 hours and I carry 2 batteries and use them both everyday. back on topic, he is clearly a manner-less person. I feel sorry for his family (especially the wife)

I’d gladly adopt a phone that I can actually use however I’d like, with whatever provider I’d like.
