Can Apple's Resistance to Flash Content Last?

In your quoting of Chris Ziegler, you show he didn't actually "quote part of Steve Jobs' remarks." He paraphrased it and added his own interpretation. Either replace the word "quote", or go out and get the real quotes Steve made about Flash and Flash Lite, including the part about "a product in the middle" (which can be found on the web).

Apple's Extraordinary Edge

@My take: Independent thinker and Windows XP? How do those two go together?

@Marcel: Back in late 2004, many said iPod would be a commodity; not a defensible business. Over 3 years and 100 million iPods later, maybe it's commoditization is beginning. But Apple's already moving away from the classic iPod; we see it in iPod touch, and actually, we've seen it from the beginning - it was always called an iPod, not an iMusic. So back to PCs: Windows PCs are definitely a commodity, but as Callahan says, Apple's advantage is OS X, objects of desire, Apple Stores with Genius Bars working on OS X mostly for "free", and its brand. By the way, OS X is on all its future-looking products - iPod touch, iPhone, AppleTV, and Mac. This synergy will lead to agility and speed in getting its software innovations out to its whole family of products; something no other company has this, not Microsoft, Nokia, Sandisk.
