iPad (2010) – The graphic tablets are many, many years and until last year were big, stumpy, used only with stylus and priced over $2,000. But Steve Jobs introduced the iPad. Received initially apprehensive about the usefulness of such a device, iPad quickly captured the hearts of enthusiasts and paved the way for a new market segment.
Apple II (1977) – Jobs had the determination to create a desktop computer for the masses of users despite the refusal received from the giant IBM. The fact that after only four years the British had to launch what is now known as the first PC is the best proof that Jobs is, in fact, the person who pioneered the personal computer.
