As a dedicated Apple user since the original 1984 Macintosh, I am really saddened to hear of his passing. He had extraordinary vision and insight into how we interface with digital technology, and his solutions were, and hopefully will continue to be, pure genius.
I could use, but HATED personal computers, until the Apple Macintosh came along. The iPhone showed how beautifully you can make complicated technology accessible to just about anyone. Of all the digital devices I have, I use my iPad the most, in fact it goes about everywhere I go.
One of my sisters cannot use a computer; any computer including the Mac is too complicated for her. But she took to the iPhone without any problem.
I know two blind girls who say their iPhones are a godsend for blind people because of the in-built software accessibility options. And now the iPhone 4S with Siri voice control promises even better things for them.
We will miss you Steve, and I thank you for everything you've given us.
