"Steve Jobs, who produced the first computer ordinary people could use[...]"
I can only laugh at that statement. Unless you think "ordinary people" could afford a $2000 Apple II in 1982 and completely discount the far more affordable (and color) Commodore 64s, Vic 20, Timex Sinclairs, TRS-80s, etc., your statment is simply laughable. Apple has ALWAYS been out of reach of the masses and in fact would be out of business now if they had not targeted college students (who took out loans to buy em) in the 90s.
And to this day, iPods, the yuppy status symbols of the millenium are overpriced just like everything else Apple has ever created.
$500 phone? Kiss my Ass. At&T only? Kiss it again.
