56. Re: Steve Jobs Resigns Aug 25, 2011, 10:30 Verno
 
Many of the sites users probably skew towards 30+ and most of us also want things to "just work" and yet we still get on just fine without iphones

I don't know where the misconception comes from that only Apple can make consumer friendly devices. There's a difference between consumer friendly and "anyone short of a barn animal can use it". Android devices can be very consumer friendly, where the iPhone trumps it is simply that there is a single iPhone platform experience versus the different Android vendors which change the UI wildly. Apple is all about the walled garden controlled user experience. If you choose to go that route then hey whatever its your money but Apple isn't the only game in town if your true concern is usability.

Let's face it, Steve Jobs gave Apple products a cachet and that's worth as much to people as functionality and usability are. Will his departure affect that? Who knows. Apple traditionally has functioned very well under his tight supervision so shareholders should at least be concerned.
