John Dvorak has said something similar:
"The problem here is that while Apple can play the fashion game as well as any company, there is no evidence that it can play it fast enough. These phones go in and out of style so fast that unless Apple has half a dozen variants in the pipeline, its phone, even if immediately successful, will be passé within 3 months."
"And its survival in the computer business relies on good margins. Those margins cannot exist in the mobile handset business for more than 15 minutes."

- CamperBob 15y agoJohn Dvorak has said something similar Ouch. Next time I say something stupid, just downvote me, or compare me to Hitler or something. No need to fight that dirty.
- gte910h 15y agoDvorak is basically a guy who gets press because his name is similar to a keyboard layout, but actually unrelated to him in all ways. He's basically a nonsense generator, and always has been. I feel he'll someday retire and write a autobiography about how he was trolling us all for his entire career then start a second act as a comedy writer.
