in this context, Satan would be Bill Gates, and God would be Steve Wozniak?
"The Book of Jobs"
Hmm, "The Book of Jobs" would be an awesome title. I didn't think it possible that anyone could come up with anything more epic than "iCon".
Yanking mag for the fanbois

Expect it to have a slightly shinier cover than most hardbacks, cost 3 times as much and be written in a proprietary DRM-encoded language that can only be read if you buy a pair of Apple iEyes.
Usual pattern
It will be announced well before delivery, leading to much speculation.
So many people will want it that there will be queues when it goes on sale.
People will critise it even if it is an interesting product. Bill Gates will hate it.
It will be easy to use.
It won't have a replaceable battery.
It won't be cheap.

If you have enough money and know the right people. I unfortunately have neither.
AC for obvious reasons, don't want a price on my head from all the fanboys because I suggested taking out Pope Steve I of Twat.
