the story is nice. But really? You had to read several times a two sentences e-mail to extract some "deep meaning" out of it? Get a grip. Steve Jobs is Apple's CEO, he is not Yoda.

I agree, the article seems to be going nowhere. It is neither criticising, praising or analysing but rather tell a mundane story with no conclusion to speak of.

The author himself doesn't seem to be overly concerned with the iDevice's accessibily as the last sentence states.

Wow, a one-line, canned, non-answer from Steve Jobs is good enough to warrant an article that makes the front page here these days.

Come on people, really?

It was more than a non-answer.

Steve knows what's best for Apple. It's his company.

Making multiple versions is not what makes apple's products stand out. It's not something that makes them special. Making multiple versions would dilute Apples core products & business logic.

These SJ responses to email seem to be passing the Turing test (for now). I've thought about how many are automated one-liners, like this one, based on some context-aware text processing algorithms.

The thing is, there are tons of different and case specific physical disabilities. What works for some of them, doesn't work for the others.

But anyway that's no excuse, they could create some accessibility mode based on an keyboard shortcuts for the iPad for instance. Most of the games wouldn't work though, and the web experience wouldn't be that great, but it would be a start.

FWIW, my boss is a wheelchair bound c4-5 quadriplegic with limited use of his hands, and he recently got rid of his MacBook 'cause the buttonless multitouch trackpad didn't work for him, but he's loving his iPad...

>> We will keep making the best computers on the planet. We love it.

It's like they are making the best computers on the world, actually they aren't. Sony VAIO seems always of a better quality for me. They are also quite innovative in the PC industry (http://discover.sonystyle.com/rocket/).

Also, there are other angles to look at; like not being able to change my battery on the iPhone (not sure if it a be done on Apple laptops).

Has anyone created a magic steve-email-response ball yet?

The author is asking Apple to dismiss its business logic which has made Apple the best.

What kind of an answer did he seriously expect?
