I know this is going to make me sound like a fanboy, but I find the article title amusing. The idea that Apple is "racing" to keep ahead of rivals and feeling the heat is a bit silly. Only recently, a full two years after the original iPhone, are we seeing devices that anyone could really consider competitive with it. Anyone familiar with Apple's culture knows that they have not all been sitting on the beach drinking their Corona's this whole time. If the past is any guide, they've been ruthlessly executing their R&D and product development strategies.

- raganwald 17y agoThat was most clear when they introduced iPhone. Everyone was speculating about how they were going to add telephony to iPod or how they were going to integrate the clickwheel interface into a full-screen iPod, and instead they introduced an entirely new device based on OS X. These are not the kind of people to endlessly churn out styling variations on tired old products.
