Apple will still be a very capable company without Steve Jobs. It’s just a reality that without him, Apple just won’t have the same street cred.

That’s the problem Android has had. Android is a very capable operating system, but there’s nobody who could speak for it like Steve Jobs was able to speak for the Iphone and Ipad.

No, and no. Steve Jobs was a remarkable man, but Apple now has the culture, money and image to sustain its success.

As to Android, it has many problems besides not having a spokesperson. Android devices are all over the map as to which version they're running, what hardware they have, which drivers they use, and general quality of the device.

Look at the comments from developers on this thread to get an idea of what Android fragmentation means for app developers. It's not pretty at all...

Apple, iDevices and Macs are all doing very well thank you - and that trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
