That's why bare ideas aren't worth too much.
- axod 16y agoApple have die hard fans. If Apple release a computer with a circular screen, they'd sell a ton. That doesn't mean it'll translate to widespread adoption though.

- catch23 16y agoTheir die hard fans didn't really help the Apple TV much unfortunately.
- listic 16y agoWhy, they sold 6.6 million according to Wikipedia. This is not bat, is it? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV)
- catch23 16y agoStill pretty poor, considering it's been around longer than the iPhone has. The Palm Pre was considered a failure and it sold more units than the Apple TV did in its first year.
- brk 16y agoYes, they do have die-hard fans. People often state this like it is a bad thing, or like Apple has done something wrong by building products that attract a loyal following. Any real developer on here would give their left nut (or tit, if the case were) to be able to build a technology company that could attract the following that Apple has. That fan base has been acquired by creating products that people feel good about owning and using. I don't want to make this a fanboi/anti-MS thread, but the market perception of most Microsoft-based products seems to be that most of the users purchase them somewhat begrudgingly.
