One of the most destructive talents of Steve jobs is to know where it fits. It I mean he and his team of talented designers, engineers, and technologists Wranglers of the supply chain. Standing pat, when the alternative is worse is hard to do, but one Apple under jobs made a trademark.
Take the iPhone 4 and its famous missed calls crisis. In reply to jobs at the delivery of software patch, comparison with other competitor offerings, providing free to those who have already bought the phone and make a deal with Verizon to solve a real problem: AT&T you can see the determination in the strategy. This is what we found, that's what we do, we're betting that you'll stick with us. He was right.
Same tune with record companies. They want to continue to hemorrhage income and destroy support for scaling up support for new talent? Or they want to adopt a strategy that will give them some assistance in the transition to the digital future at the expense of a powerful partner who sometimes seemed to be a gatekeeper. Underlying the calculation is the realization that no one else in the technology business chance of routing around cartel and going directly to the audience.
Over the years since he returned to Apple, and even until the next car, with seats set out markers from which he would not retreat. Floppy disks were easily call, both audio and video files are overloaded format. CDs were next, and then quickly DVD, television and film media blew out models of physical storage. But as with WiFi on the iPhone, the introduction of network storage by default means drove the buildout of these technologies.
He took some hard work to get the AT&T enable WiFi in the underlying platform. Carrier correctly concluded that it would exert pressure on its cash cow SMS and required bandwidth restrictions on the use of 3 G to download music, videos, and applications in response. Despite this through expectations, forcing the company to build its network as fast as it could undermine the e-mail and Web surfing. Antennagate was in fact more about transforming my phone to a mobile computer.
After the Android phones showed the same usage patterns jobs kept pressure on the iPad, reboot YOUR PC as network-centric device without DVD-ROM drive, and even addressable hard drive for all intents and purposes. Flash is again an exception event stubborn at first, but it soon became clear that Apple's rethinking laptop OS around new application platform, which browser around wrappered, not vice versa. Deleting plugins and at the same time opening HTML 5 dev environment as low-level jobs took advantage of Android competition once again raise the stakes of bandwidth.
Much of the AppStore requirements for adoption 30% subscription, but while HTML 5 alternative jobs actually app markets model for comparison. iCloud weakens Android open argument downloading untethering with a desktop computer, while at the same time the destabilization of the entire concept of desktop and, ultimately, notebooks, and floppy disk, the drive,. 3 (G), operating system, file system, write, upload, each bar has been deprecated in favor of host cloud advanced rich client platforms. The most impressive job stuck premium pricing model, until the rest of the market had to overtake Apple and lose CLOUT with suppliers of the volume.
Recent events have highlighted the strength of the innovate, release, stand pat model. HP capitulation equipment is as much about cloud computing as the iPad, but Motorola's acquisition of Google is a clear signal that the audience would not leave apps. The collapse of the television networks as Studio seeks to avoid the fate of record companies, but the iPad sent him over the edge.
Just this week you can see Libya meet over Al-Jazeera, CNN through authentication to a satellite or cable services, and the rest through the Slingbox — all on the iPad and iPhone. Spotify offers music business, HBO go its premium content, and the rest of Netflix, Hulu Plus and Slingbox. AirPlay even pushes it back up the big screen, putting pressure on Sony and other manufacturers, Apple TV or risk missing the last stage of Dodge.
All these transformations is the Office of technology strategy. Google has shown that it can produce fantastic synergy with accumulation and use of large data. But what it has showed no aptitude for bringing creative industries with network effects in real time. Google TV is still a question mark, because it is clear that the networks will have none of it. Unlike the Apple TV continues to build a head of steam because it disappears into the wooden content and workflow strategy of iOS platforms.
Most Apple TV is the center of the iCloud WiFi. You don't need to be convinced about Apple TV, because you already have. Work is in the Middle TV takedown than at the beginning. Today I must make a conscious decision to move from HDMI 2-3 to get into the world of Apple TV. But if the news networks flip iPad if Slingbox iPad cable switcher if AirPlay works in all these applications if iOS 5 delivers push notification routing, Oh wait a minute, it's really Apple TV. Jobs was right all along.
