Jobs vowed to crush Android

So Steve Jobs said he would do everything including spending Apple's entire fortune just to get back at Android.....even if it took his last breath.....fail springs to mind.

Andriod would have a real job trying to stop that i reckon.

I wonder what way Android is the same as iOS.

So here are two images of Jobs vs Gates and Jobs ruthlessness.

Haven't they just copied the Android notification bar?

Apple are doing a good job of making MS look like saints!

Last dying breath? He sounds like some sort of mad evil comic book character.

Here's hoping that someone at Apple has the sense to ease up on the patent wars... in the end the only ones really getting hurt are us as consumers.

Google should call Android 4.5/5.0 Toffee Apple.

Its shiney and works on phones! get with the programme!

King Damager · 21 Oct 2011 at 11:52

So he's a ruthless CEO.

The whole patent war really narks me off to be honest... The second I saw Apple's new Notification system in iOS5 my first thought was "Android has had that for years"....

This doesn't really surprise me. However I am quite intrigued therefore by the book that it's quoted from. Looks like my pre-order wasn't a waste of money xD

"If Apple doesn't want the iPhone and iPad to be marginalized the way it happened to the Macintosh at the hands of the Wintel duopoly, it has to use the full force of its intellectual property to fend off the commoditization threat that Android represents," he told BBC News.

don't lock it down and treat your customers like children then

I think Steve had some serious low banter. I'd never go for a pint with him.. he is way too serious.

It's in the same way that OSX is the same as Windows.

Also found this stat interesting:

BBC said:
Android has subsequently enjoyed rapid adoption and now accounts for around 48% of global smartphone shipments, compared to 19% for Apple.
