More on why Apple will do something in the low end phone market:
“The only way (at the moment at least) is up, with rumors claiming Apple will introduce a new iPhone in September, expectation must also be there that the company will diversify its range more with the addition of phone features to its iPod range.
“Consider this: an iPod phone wouldn’t be an iPhone, lending flexibility in features — but would likely be popular, would likely bring a little Apple ‘innovation’ to the feature phone market and would help Apple continue its clear strategy of building growth in the developing markets. In other words, Apple’s set for growth.”
Yeah, it was for an ad, yeah, it is an attempt to create ‘viral video’ and yeah, the iPad survived. So, I’m interested — how would a PlayBook, Xoom or Android tablet take the strain?
There’s almost no chance of an iPhone 5 debut this June. Apple [AAPL] has not booked component orders for the mythical next-gen device and also lacks a finalized production road map for the beast, which will, dear readers, be made available in white — maybe…
Apple [AAPL] watchers are asking just how long it will be until Apple’s much-loved boss, Steve Jobs, moves aside to become special advisor to new Apple CEO, Tim Cook. Today I’m beginning to believe Steve has one more card he wants to play before he pulls back a little — he wants to reinvent television, and I hope he gets to do it.
I remember when I first began to read about Apple products. I didn’t have much money but I’d buy all the magazines. I didn’t know then that I’d been infected by the geek virus, but I had. I’d lust over these electronic appliances I couldn’t ever afford to buy. I know I wasn’t the only one doing this. There’s so many potential Apple customers whohave the lust but lack the lucre.
