Funny!

There is a point to it, too. It's amazing how intuitive tablets and smart phones are to kids even that young. I have read about and seen myself a couple of times toddlers grabbing an iPhone and not wanting to give it up. There was a little boy at the next table a restaurant I was eating in not long ago who had the phone and was doing who knows what on it. His father (presumably) was trying to get it back and the boy had his little hands clamped tight on it.

There is a passage in Walter Isaacson's recent biography of Jobs where he was livid on the topic of Android. He said this is just an unbelievable ripoff of the iPhone and I won't rest until we stop them from doing it. (An empty threat, I'm sure). Jobs said I don't care if it takes all $40 billion we've got in the bank. You could tell he didn't like Google in general. "All their products, with the exception of Search, are s**t." Of course that was his opinion of a great many things ;-) Talk about a perfectionist.

I saw a quote somewhere from Isaacson saying Jobs asked him to write the book. "I think it was because he knew my two previous biographies were about Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, and saw himself as the logical next step in that progression." LOL
