Judging by Apple’s stock price today, I’m not sure this guys is 100% right, and certainly does not get it. – sparky
Canada’s National Post has published a column by Paul Kedrosky on the Mac mini and iPod shuffle, in which Mr. Kedrosky complains about Apple’s foray into the low-cost computer market. “You have to love Apple Computer. Not, however, for its products. Those are over-glossy fashion plates designed for the people who like to overpay for products and then brag about it … No, you have to love Apple for its ability to manipulate the press. Here is a tiny company with 3% market share in the personal computer, and yet Steve Jobs’ new product announcements at Macworld earlier this week were treated as if they were auguries of the future of computing from a descending deity … Hence the company’s announcements this week. Far from being forward-thinking and strategic, Jobs was busily shoring up a currently foundering product line — Apple’s over-priced Macintosh — by leveraging a soon-to-be foundering product line — Apple’s iPod.
