Hello Posse Warning: this following is pure speculation
Listening to episode 303 and the talk about the "lost" iphone 4 made me wonder why none of the posse members thought the "loss" was actually made on purpose by Apple as an example of viral marketing [1] - as the loss made a lot of headlines in all media around the world, including all leading newspapers in Denmark. By losing the phone Apple has gotten a lot of awareness about the fact that the phone is coming and the technical specs that it has. Hence they have kept the medias attention on Apple and the iphone and away from the competitors. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
