One of the afternoon radio talk hosts who happens to like to keep up on
tech had an iPhone which for years he was enthralled with. Then one day
he announced he was switching to Android. Didn't give a reason until
lately. The guy is also a musician and he wanted to do some music
things on his phone and found out he was quite limited on iOS. He took
a look at Android and found it did what he wanted. Bye bye Apple. He
really raked the Apple announcements this week on his show.

Yep, tough to see where Apple will end up, now that Jobs is gone. I
always though they limited their market hugely by creating unique
interfaces for their platform, first cutting them out of the corporate
world, and now finding similar portability issues in the consumer market.
I agree that their future is in boutique stuff that breaks out for a
mass audience, but so far that line-up is looking a lot like a
continuation of 1940's science fiction, brought to life. Seriously,
who needs a Dick Tracy watch (and "3D Touch" is a minor discovery -
stacked piezoelectric sensors - in search of a practical application)?
I bought an overpriced I-Pad a few years ago, for an app that only had
an Apple interface. Due to the difficulty in porting *anything* to a
PC, the unit mostly collects dust.

Apple's plans land with a thud:

Apps are the future of TV? There have been TVs with apps on them for
several years now. But Apple aways takes a page from Goebbels to make
it look like they invented it. Before their was the iPod there were
MP3 players. Before there was the iPhone there were other smart
phones starting with the Symbian phones back in the late 1990s.
And a $100 pencil that Jobs never wanted?
Apple is the Calvin Klein of computers. They get you to spend more
money than you should because of a logo.

Is Apple dead like Steve Jobs? Wow! 3D touch. Can't wait, eh? Sounds
like innovation left Cupertino. Maybe Google is paying more.
Apple has
plenty of money but what will the blow it all on? I'm hearing a
lot of
jabs from the tech sector about today's Apple announcements being a
joke. Apple has always been a cult.
Haha, a rather large cult. Apple will be a long time thriving and
being loved. Ironically, I am sitting next to my husband, a true
Mac lover, listening to the latest Apple Special Event broadcast
from SF. Apple products are elegant, sexy and desirable.
