[QUOTE="Mr.J, post: 1709017, member: 38657"] Apple hasn't really invented anything. They just take something and make it better, and easy to use to general public. Now before you say it's not affordable, forget about general public in India. For us, iphone is 'very expensive' or 'expansive'. To people outside India, it is just 'costly'. iphone 4s starts from 199$ and average monthly salary in USA is just above 3000$ I think this anecdote better sums up Apple: "You're ripping us off!", Steve shouted, raising his voice even higher. "I trusted you, and now you're stealing from us!" But Bill Gates just stood there coolly, looking Steve directly in the eye, before starting to speak in his squeaky voice. "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."
