Is Something Rotten at Apple?
E-mail problems, flaky iPhones, and broken Macs. What's Steve Jobs
to do?
Ever since the launch of the iPod and the iTunes Music Store I
have thought that Apple was taking its eye off the ball. Apple is
aiming at too many targets at once to be able to clearly focus on any
one of them. I think that in taking this wide ranging marketing
approach Apple has sacrificed some aspects of quality control. Apple
says they will stand behind their products, and I think that they
will, but even so, they could lose something of value along the line
that Apple users have come to expect and appreciate. Simply put,
Apple products have traditionally just plain worked straight out of
the box, and reliably as well, pretty much hassle free. That fact is
greatly responsible for Apple's loyalists in the computer world, and
that long standing tradition should not be sacrificed purely for the
almighty dollar lest Apple simply become just another high tech
manufacturer without particular distinction. My opinion only.
Steve
