Do India got an "Apple Store",the Answer is "NO" (stores we have are re-sellers).Apple products in the country are ‘insanely' overpriced and most of us don't own an Apple product, yet we can feel a personal loss on his death.

The Public reaction in India has seen by jobs Stanford speech (youtube 1lakh hits).

So much has been written about the genius whom we know so little. People like Steve are born one in a generation, and carry an aura with universal appeal. He may be dead now, but a part of him will live on through the invention he passed on to humanity, and Steve himself will live on through the inspiration he fills in the hearts of millions of his fans.

Critics say he was a ruthless boss. The best trait of great leaders is their ability to extract the best out of others, Steve exemplifies exactly that. Another remarkable thing was his professionalism. When Steve returned to an Apple in tatters, he went in for a major revamp. At the Boston MacWorld conference 1997, in his trademark spell-bounding ‘Stevenote,' Jobs surprised everyone when Bill Gates popped up on the giant screen, announcing Microsoft's collaboration with Apple. Many ridiculed him for that, but 14 years hence, you can't help but revel at his strategy. Steve knew Apple had to rise slowly and steadily, his partnership with Microsoft helped Mac Computers, which used Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, and other Microsoft features, until Apple engineers developed platforms like Pages, and Safari which, of course, outperform the Microsoft counterparts.
