When DropBox's Drew Houston presented their company's product to Steve Jobs he just smiled and said "that's not a product, that's a feature". Then Apple implemented iCloud.
Funny thing is DropBox didn't fail, they're still alive and kicking.
Yes, all appstores are just marketing research for the big platforms. You better not trust your company future on them.
- Turing_Machine 2y agoI recall an instance of Steve Jobs actually being a nice guy in this respect. He was talking to a well-known third-party Mac developer (I think Panic, but maybe it was a different one) and asked what they were going to be working on next. "Well, we're thinking about doing an MP3 player". Jobs just said "Don't." (this was not long before iPod/iTunes came out). So they didn't, no doubt saving them a lot of development time and money.
