Steve Jobs Biography Book gets early Read

The Steve Jobs biography by Walter Issaacson is based on more than forty interview with former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Looks like the book has a lot of revelations about Steve Jobs. The release of the Steve Jobs Biography is on Monday, October 24, but the Associated Press and The Huffington Post already somehow got their hands on a copy. One quote from Steve Jobs about Android is already getting a lot of attention. 

Steve Jobs said: "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

This puts the ongoing lawsuits against Samsung and other Android makers in a new light. I assume Tim Cook will follow Steve's wishes here and will continue to go against Android.

I wasn't actually considering buying the Steve Jobs book. I just do not have enough time to read, but looking at what has been revealed now, I am going to read it.

The Steve Jobs Bio is on sale on Amazon for $17.88.
