- ZeroGravitas 17y ago70% market share was the iPod. The iPhone is not the iPod, and the iPad is not the iPhone. So you may not get 70% by playing catch-up, but you don't always get it by doing whatever Apple does, even in the case of their big successes like the iPhone.
- snom370 17y agoExactly, which is why it would be nice to see companies that try to not just copy the iPhone (and now the iPad), like most cell phone companies have tried to do the past couple of years. Likewise, it took the OLPC project and then Asus EEE to ignite the netbook market, and the Wii to show that gaming consoles could be fun for everyone. Most companies however avoid risks and only copy and incrementally improve on the status quo.
