Handset Maker Wanted Steve Jobs Dead, Admits It

Lie Jun, a man who is planning on selling a new handset that rivals the iPhone in both specs and price, has admitted in an interview with Entrepreneur that he and others like him were eagerly waiting for Steve Jobs to die.

As 99.99 percent of the world’s population were mourning the passing of Steve Jobs last month, a handful of smartphone makers rejoiced knowing they finally had a shot at selling their products, according to Lie Jun, who said in an interview:

"[Steve] Jobs will die someday, so there are still opportunities for us. The meaning of our existence is just waiting for him to kick the bucket."

It is unclear why their success was so strongly tied to the demise of the iconic Apple co-founder, but there you have it.

It’s also unclear just how little moral fiber one must have to utter such ignorant words, but I’m guessing Lie Jun has the answer to that too.

I don't think Steve Jobs' death opens opportunities for his company. Look at all those people calling the iPhone 4S the iPhone for Steve. The day Apple showed the iPhone 4S to the public, everyone was like "Nothing special and I'm not going to buy it." Then Steve Jobs passed away and everyone was like "iPhone for Steve and I'm going to buy it to praise Steve." Look at those videos on YouTube of people buying the iPhone 4S on launch day and telling the reporter: "I've bought it for Steve."

It sounds strange, but it's Steve Jobs' death what made the iPhone 4S a success. Everyone has been praising him and still is praising the man. Then there's a man telling us he's been waiting for Steve Jobs' death, so he can finally sell his telephones. Look at all those people praising Steve Jobs. People loved the man. How can someone say he's been waiting for Steve Jobs's death? Who wants to buy a product from someone like him? He's the person who wanted Steve Jobs to be dead and publicly told everyone he wanted him to be dead.
