This article actually misses some key points while it is telling the truth.
Most of the things mentioned in the article is correct BUT,
If you are going to make a product and you think that your product is going to be as revolutionary as Apple was at the beginning, then don't worry. You will be good to go.
If you can provide a unique, mind blowing product just like Apple Lisa in 1983, you can sell it for really unrealistic prizes.
Apple Lisa was sold for US$ 9,995 at the time it was released. You could buy a new house around $86000.
So the question is not how expensive is going to be, the real question is,
Is your product mind blowing?
- wmf 12y agoWasn't Lisa a flop?
- informatimago 12y agoNo. Perhaps financially, accountants weren't able to attribute black pennies to it. But spiritually it was a big success. Everybody wanted one. And it was the roots of the Macintosh. If Apple didn't do the Lisa, I cannot see what else they could have done at that time, and still become the biggest company of the world 30 years later. Without it, they would probably have disappeared long ago as so many people predicted.
- philwelch 12y agoThey buried almost the entire production run in Utah, didn't they?
- philh 12y ago> If you are going to make a product and you think that your product is going to be as revolutionary as Apple was at the beginning, then don't worry. You will be good to go. I would disagree with this, but keep quiet, if you removed "you think". As it is, the advice just seems irresponsible. If you think your product is going to be as revolutionary as Apple was at the beginning, you are probably wrong, and you should adjust your expectations accordingly.
