I left a comment there for you. <br /><br />You know what I want out of Apple, Microsoft, or ANYBODY else in the business? I want a heads up type computer display that will work with normal looking glasses.

But I will...A great read Carmi (and welcome back!)<br /><br />But I will take issue with what seems to be a trend when it comes to Apple commentary: the perceived slow-down of innovation and a reliance on incremental improvement.<br /><br />When you look at the history of Apple's key product intros (iPod, iPhone, iPad) the space between them has been as little as 3 years and as large as 5.<br /><br />It seems unfair to view the current period of post-iPad and pre-whatever-comes-next as a lull in innovation or an inability to reinvent the market as they've done in the past.<br /><br />Instead, I see it as the natural result of a company steadfastly refusing to release a product until it meets all of their criteria, specifically: great user experience, profitable and genuinely useful.<br /><br />It's really hard to do this. Staggeringly hard in fact. We only need look at Google to see how hard it is. Their new Nexus 7 is a great 7" tablet, but every aspect of it is merely incremental. Nothing revolutionary. Meanwhile, Google Glass, while revolutionary, is poorly conceived in its current iteration: It will likely go down as history's creepiest tech product.<br /><br />I think Apple feels no pressure whatsoever to launch a new product before it's ready to do so. Tons of cash, a brand that has no equal, a highly loyal customer base and a nearly rabid dev community.<br /><br />I'll revise my thinking on this when I see evidence that one of Apple's competitors is genuinely out-innovating them rather than successfully selling me-too products.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909621198764972418noreply@blogger.com
