>>I don't undervalue Steve Jobs. But I see through him.
MS was selling Win CE6.x stuff until iPhone was released. Then CE tanked. Which was better, iPhone or CE? If iPhone, then it may have been marketed brilliantly but also it was a better device. I'd rather see good marketing of a good device than good marketing of a lousy device that prevails because better options can't afford marketing. That may have been the norm before but the arrival of online App repositories (pioneered by Apple) allows everybody some time in the sun.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
