]]> Comment on Strategic shortcomings of Pre in the post-iPhone era by Fallacy of volume and revenue: The iPhone difference « David's Blog http://counternotions.com/2009/01/12/pre/#comment-5677 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:06:04 +0000 http://counternotions.wordpress.com/?p=624#comment-5677 [...] The most amazing trick Apple has performed over the last six years has been the unflinching fiscal discipline to introduce new products into new markets to establish new platforms while maintaining remarkably profitable margins. Apple hasn’t carved out 3/4 of the digital music market by inundating it with cheap devices. Neither has it elected to chase after market share by peddling $49 “iPhone nanos” at Radio Shack. As can be seen above, the iPhone is an extremely profitable product which fuels its own R&D that keeps it a generation ahead of its potential rivals. In iPhone charts, third parties see not just the number of units sold but more importantly, a competently managed, profitable, growing ecosystem with which they can reliably associate, whereas any discussion of Pre’s prospects must necessarily include Palm’s dismal financial outlook.

]]> Comment on Video: What’s Steve Jobs like in a meeting? by Jobs’ love of WiFi may lead to partnership with FON | Ars Technica http://counternotions.com/2007/10/26/sj-meeting-video/#comment-5654 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:03:19 +0000 http://counternotions.com/2007/10/26/sj-meeting-video/#comment-5654 [...] As you may know, one of the reasons given for the lack of 3G on the iPhone is Steve Jobs' belief (or perhaps wish) that WiFi would be readily available to everyone, everywhere. That tends not to be the case in many situations, and may be a hindrance to previously-rumored WiFi-based services. In order to spread the WiFi love, Steve Jobs has met with a company called FON to discuss WiFi sharing, and FON creator Martin Varsavsky has created a video describing the meeting. [...]

]]> Comment on Why Apple doesn’t do “Concept Products” by valentin salja http://counternotions.com/2008/08/12/concept-products/#comment-5645 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:50:58 +0000 http://counternotions.wordpress.com/?p=286#comment-5645 By basing your entire argument 100% on just ONE COMPANY which happens to be APPLE you are just pointing out the fact that your universe is as big as Apple. If you can’t fell the beauty, humanity, individuality, ridiculousness and abstractness of even the stupidest most outrageous public concept ideas/products which made individuals and companies crumble – you are a perfectly shaped consumer for the company you adore. Yes that makes your article and you bland, uninteresting and predictable but it is also completely normal, accepted and OK.
