I agree. Complacency is the enemy of a business. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have all experienced it one way or the other. The fact that Apple recognizes Windows Phone as a legitimate competitor cements Windows Phone's relevance in the mobile market and pushes Apple to stay innovative. Competition is always good.It's good to see that he's taking MS seriously, as opposed to being as dismissive as Google has been.
Pride comes before the fall. So this bodes well for Apple not falling.
That will be interesting for sure.They need to make the Lumias cheaper because when iPhone 5 comes out your going to expect the iPhone 4s at 99$ and iPhone 4 free on contract so the Lumias need to be priced competively. Its going to be interesting how Microsoft and Nokia are going to battle this.
Completely agree. The expectation is that the iPhone 5 will have a new design, and I would expect a new killer feature that will set the iPhone ahead yet again; perhaps something evolutionary or revolutionary in battery life. A Nokia phone would really need to differentiate itself with its own set of features.Nokia must annouce a flagship Apollo handset and release it before the iPhone 5 comes out this is very critical I would also price it a bit lower than the iPhone 5 at 149$ with contract to make a Nokia purchase more appealing.
That is exactly right. Like Tim Cook said, they aren't thinking too much about the other "horses" (OSs), they are focusing on being the lead horse by innovating.This kind of thinking is why Apple still behave like a small, eager start-up despite being the most valuable tech company in the world (or is that Oracle again? Pretty close anyway).
Hey, I'll put some money down, too. A Windows 8, Windows Phone, Xbox trifectamy bet goes to the Redmond horse:happy:
