I do think its a terrible loss (before I ask this), but what exactly did Jobs invent? We had the same devices as he sold well before Apple brought them out. I do think that he was a great marketer and could see the trend developing for these products ahead of their time, but I'm not too sure what he actually invented? Before someone jumps down my throat here, let me say again that I do think that he did amazing things. I just think that the comparison to a guy like Edison are a little much.
Anyway, here is an interesting article I found tonight:
