iPhone (which set the standard for smartphones back in 2007 and data plans offered by carriers),<\/li>\n<li>the iPad (the tablet computer that has had other players in the industry scrambling to emulate its success),<\/li>\n<li>the iMac (maybe not such a big game changer in itself but did spurn the conputer industry from its &#8220;beige box syndrome&#8221;).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Steve Jobs
