Steve Jobs: “The problem is that netbooks aren’t better than anything”. Pudding served
February 15, 2011NYT:
in 2009, netbooks were seen as the earth-shaking force in the industry, potentially changing the economics of the business and undermining the technology leaders, Intel and Microsoft.
Things didn’t work out that way. Netbook sales were meteoric in 2009, jumping eightfold in the United States, to 7.5 million devices, and tripling worldwide to 34 million. Yet the torrid growth stalled last year.
Like Steve Jobs said
The netbooks they bought were underpowered PCs that performed sluggishly and could not handle many popular software applications.
But then, being right is not rewarded in America, where the more you fail (and never learn from it), the more closer you are to being a pundit.
