Quote from Xena:
1) One has to realise that Apple only had one (1) succesfull product on which all is based. And that is the iPod with iTunes.
2) mobile phone manufacturers started to build in MP3 players......
3) iPod sales stayed static / diminished....
4) Apple realised they had to get into the mobile phone market....
We've had Motorola, Ericson, Nokia, RIM all having their heyday with mobile phones and none really survived.....
Will Apple is the big question.....
All their other products are only a small part, the iPad is partly a fad and not suitable for serious work. It's OK as a reader or web browser or picture viewer but seriously for work? It is a consumer product.....
Sony had the walkman and cornered the market, we also had the mobile CD player and the mini CD player having been all the rage....
Consumer products are fickle.....
Now I give you this to think about:
a) RF affects the T-cells in the blood.
b) Your microwave oven uses the same radiowaves as your mobile phone to cook your food.
c) Although the Telcoms industry says that no cancer is being reported in people using mobile phones a lot how about those that are frying their brains? One does not notice it.....
d) There are reports that the brain/tissue damage by mobile phones may in 20 years to turn out worse than smoking.....
e) do you stick your head in a microwave oven every day and turn it on? Why use a mobile phone then? Have you read the recent safety disclosures telling you to keep the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm from your body? Gee, wonder why....
Apple is focussed on making everything wireless and they behave like Microsoft did at one stage (like a bully). I've recently pulled some Apple gear apart and was shocked at the cr@ppy workmanship and lack of QA.
It is a given that sooner or later some technological change / development will have an end to this run and then it is everyone running for the gate. (what was Microsoft, IBM, <your favourite company> at its peak, where is it now?)
