I could bash Steve Jobs and apple like most have done on this site. Without him doing what he did, how many touch screen phones other then iphone would br alive? Now I know people will say "android phones are 100% different then iphone" that's fine, to each there own. Just be adult about it and not put down something someone put his entire life in creating. A human lost his life, a family lost a member and a friend has one less buddy.

Whether you liked Steve jobs or not, you can not deny that technology would not be the same without him. He was truly a visionary and changed the world in ways that we all benifit from. Without the Macintosh, ipod and iPhone technology would not be what it is today. Although I now prefer android, I can not say I have not owned and liked my share of Apple products. Thank you Steve for always trying to push the envelope, and succeeding. May you R.I.P.

Although im an avid wmo and andro fan i got alot of respect for ya Jobs. We are gonna miss you like no other. Your a pioneer who changed the game when you first came up with the creation of the a simple yet intuitive apple that was bitten, Apple computers and operating systems. What makes you such a distinguished individual was how you stood out of the pack and made the computer personal. Not only did you accomplish such a tremendous feet but you started a smartphone generation that has changed the lives of many including myself.

RIP Mr. Jobs. As much as I dislike your business practices and the closed down system that you were selling to many followers throughout the world, you still have my utmost a complete respect. As a business man you were clearly a master. I can only hope to have a small measure of your success, and I can only hope that your passing was as comfortable as possible. The smartphone and mp3 players that I use everyday would be nothing like they are without your work. Again, RIP and you have my utmost respect.

You are a horrible human being for what you posted right there^.

Realistically, this thread will be closed, and your comment will magically "disappear" from your history.

However, I've screenshotted your idiotic, crass, inhuman response to a real tragedy, and XDA CAN'T erase that from my phone.

You WILL see it again, and you'll see it over and over, so I just wanna say, have fun with that, you freaking idiot and absolute waste of skin and bones.

No matter how you feel about Apple or Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs was a visionary. He may not have invented anything new, but he took what he saw and made it better, easier and more user friendly and set the bar high for everyone else. And Steve Jobs was not always at Apple. Did we forget he bought PIXAR and created Next, which was later bought by Apple, which is how he got back into Apple.

No matter how you feel about Steve Jobs, he has changed the tech world forever.

I don't like Apple, but I have to respect him if not merely for the fact that he's another human being.

And I've recently come to know the ugliness of cancer - more up close and personal than I ever expected. I respect any other person that faces that battle, regardless of the outcome. It's unfair and it's painful on every level (physical, emotional, spiritual). If you're okay with making jokes about someone losing that battle just because you didn't like the products they made, then you really need to grow up.

May you rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.

I truly don't wish any cancer on anyone, even Steve Jobs, let alone a death caused by it. However, his "innovations," have made more people more ignorant about computers and tech. He may have made a lot of changes, but in some ways he started a technological de-evolution, in others a re-evolution.

I keep hearing over and over that Jobs is the godfather of the smartphones, tablets, etc... He (along with his team) was the founder of the ipad, and iphone (and of course his apple computers but we're not discussing that here) period.

There have been smartphones around since the late 90's by company's such as Palm, Microsoft, and Research in Motion but no not Apple....

Job's simply "borrowed" the vision from legends such as Alan Kay and Bill Gates, which both envisioned devices similar to the ipad but there was simply insufficient hardware at the time to create them. Gates actually released something close and were called tablet pcs, over 11 years ago.

Yes Steve Jobs is a legend but let's not exaggerate things and claim that if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have touch screen phones and tablets, OK?

RIP Steve.

I must say that Bill Gates rips you off with his $300 overpriced Windows OS. Not to mention that Steve Jobs started the computer industry/idea. Bill Gates, stole his idea and still doesn't release hardware or software anywhere near the quality of Apple. Either way, if Bill Gates passed I wouldn't be bashing him like some of the haters here. I've been with XDA since winmo days and the android side of XDA seems to have no respect or consideration and are just rude. My heart goes out to his family and Apple.

[Off-topic] JSLEnterprises:
Tablets have always been in sci fi... let’s looks at ST:TNG... I’m pretty sure that the idea of that tablet pc 11 years back was due to sci-fi like that (not specifically that alone).

LG had the Prada in 2006 with a full capacitive touch screen; the first smartphone was also an IBM Simon circa 1993 and was then taken on by Nokia with their Communicator line-up starting with the Nokia 9000 in 1996, Steve wasn’t the one to bring "smartphones" to the world.

The only real thing that the iPod did was bring very large capacities to mp3 players... but at a cost of being stuck to iTunes, and paying exorbitantly large prices.... in an almost totalitarian fasion.

I am only saddened that it was Cancer that took his life... the same cancer that took my aunt's life almost a decade ago. I respect him and empathize his loss of life as a man passing in a painful and horrible way by a cellular mutation that eats away at you from the inside. That is a very sad thing and no one deserves it.

I do not praise him as everyone else touts him to be. Professionally, I considered him to be the Paris Hilton, or the Kim Kardashian of the Tech Industry.

Battling cancer is one of the worst things someone can go through. The chemo alone makes u feel like ur insides are being eatin while u toss and turn in bed trying to hold back from throwing up cause you know once u start u wont stop and it will land u a week in the hospital. To top that off from being laid up in bed from being so sick u can for blood clots that form in ur legs and have the potential of shooting straight to it heart or lungs as well as cause such severe pain that u can no longer walk any more. Your body shuts down one system at a time and all ur family and loved ones can do it watch and try to comfort you the best they know how. I'm sure jobs stayed as possitive as he could no matter how bad things got. Its the only way u can survive as long as he did. I know this first hand as I just recovered from stage three testicular cancer that spread to my lungs and abdomen. It was the worst thing I have ever been through and no body could ever imagine the horrors u go through during those times. The thoughts in your head, the vivid nightmares, the constant prayer, and the looks you get from loved ones let alone strangers is enough to never wish that on my worst enemy.

Jobs will be sorely missed as he was a visionary and an innovator. I feel for his family and the grief they must be feeling but if I only went through a small percentage of what he had endured towards the end I would tell them that he is at peace now and is no longer suffering.

Forget the fact of what he has done for all smartphone communities and whether or not u like apple or not. This is a man who just lost a battle to cancer. Another statistic that shouldnt be. One day hopefully we will find a cure and maybe just maybe job's death will be a motivator for more research and more donations for the cause. Hell I'm sure apple can afford a huge donation as well.

RIP Steve Jobs
