As I said I didn't like him or his corporate strategies, but I cannot deny his contribution to technology. Take this for example; in 2007 everybody was busy putting 2491924721989 megapixel cameras in their phones and making sliders with questionable quality Apple released a phone (I am not even sure you can call it that) that will surely go down in history and despite being some 4 years old still has one of the smoothest and most intuitive touch screen controls out there surpassed only by it's newer derivatives. I do have Iphone 2G bought 2 days after after the release date, and I'll use it till it finally visits its creator, then I'll buy Iphone again
