But Apple altered their path and made something that customers wanted.
RIM stayed their course for too long, until they made what not enough users wanted, then tried to mimic everyone else (Apple, Samsung, et al).

- lttlrck 13y agoYes, that sounds likely. Apple is a master at feature strategy.
- slantyyz 13y agoI think they like to dismiss features they don't currently have (but are usually working on) because it gives them the opportunity to bash their competitors. They also know how bad the memories are of the mainstream tech journalists -- which means they rarely get called out on making sneaky statements like the ones in this article: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/02/steve-jobs/ http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/02/steve-jobs/
