Jobs is an interesting techie. But, as they say, 'when you have a lawnmower, everything looks like grass.' Apple thrives on miniaturization, which has become almost a fetish. They also are heavily into proprietary hardware and planned obsolescence. I have avoided many of their products because of a combination of cost, lack of customization opportunities (I build my own to suit my needs), expensive peripherals, inability to replace batteries and a smaller software base than the ubiquitous PC platforms. That's not to say they don't have good products in specific niches (iPod). You have to give Jobs credit for innovation, even if it doesn't always work out for the consumer.
