(Images courtesy 9to5Mac)It’s widely known that Apple CEO Steve Jobs often responds to e-mail sent to him by outsiders, usually with short and sweet replies. A U.K. customer recently got one of those replies back, with a little dig at Google to boot.
9to5Mac is reporting that a U.K. reader had written directly to Apple CEO Steve Jobs at his widely known sjobs@apple.com e-mail address. His inquiry was in regards to getting photos from Google’s Picasa into the iPad he’s planning on buying.
“The iPad photo app looks incredible,” the potential customer gushes in his e-mail to Jobs. “Are there any plans to support Picasa’s faces and albums in iTunes, so I can take full advantage of the Photos application…?”
Steve Jobs fires back (via his iPhone, naturally): “No, but iPhoto on the Mac has much better Faces and Places features.”
Take that, Google.
And in case you were wondering,
9to5Mac checked Jobs’ e-mail header to discover that the Apple CEO is still using iPhone OS 3.1.2 like the rest of us, and not the fabled 4.0 beta supposedly being cooked up in Apple’s labs.
