Can you explain what Steve Jobs' legacy is other creating a bunch of must have gadgets?

I wouldn't agree on "must have"
Steve (rest in peace) was, just like Gates, better in commerce and business rather then science and technology. Many of his gadgets are just borrowed technologies and patents mixed together in a shiny plastic box.
Well now, these boxes, some of you might say they revolutionized their lives, I just think you could have found them better and cheaper with other names. Really now, the Apple's prices are sometimes ridiculous high.
And mind this: is not that I cannot afford them, is just that I'd feel stupid to pay more for the same or less quality... besides, the technology changes and after 1-2 years they're obsolete anyway.
