* Pocketability: Yes, just like a wallet. What else do we all carry around with us everywhere? Purse? Briefcase? Forget it. As they say with cameras, the best computer is the one we have with us.

* App Store access: What with a billion apps out there, maybe 100K "consumer" apps available over the next couple years, this is the great driver for Apple growth over the next five years. What Adobe did for the first Macs, a legion of third party developers will do for Apple in the future.

* Killer feature set: When the day arrives that we don't need a wallet 'cuz the iPod has all our dox on it, the front jeans pocket will become the new back jeans pocket.]]> Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:07:27 -0400

* Any new Apple device for the burgeoning consumer electronics market will include access to the App Store, which even now is locking millions of users into Apple products. Even Google is scared.

* The communications piece is right on. Apple will resurrect its iChat technology to take on Skype. Or maybe it just purchases Skype. Hmm. That's been done.]]> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:54:11 -0400

No law restricts great to Apple. Apple's job is to find a way to maintain acceptable margins and sell a ton of the tablet. And, looking at iPod and iPhone sales, Apple knows how.]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:13:28 -0400

Of the four (Aristotelian) causes for every object, most companies recognize the material cause (what the object make of) and the efficient cause (how is it make) but not the formal cause (design) or final cause (what's its purpose and place in society). Additionally telling the story of why users as individuals might want or need its products (marketing) is Apple's forte.]]> Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:28:20 -0400

The iPod will get bigger and become MacCloud. The computer for the rest of us. Actually that would be MacTROU. And indeed, it should still fit in a front jeans pocket. See features above.

All the rest of the eye line, shuffles, nanos, touches, can continue on. But the MacCloud and the itty bitty iPhone are the dreadnoughts of the line.]]> Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:01:52 -0400

... The front jeans pocket is the new rear jeans pocket.

The “MacTROU” (for The Rest of Us) can be untethered, like the Kindle providing web access via EVDO. But a hundred times better than the Kindle, this Mac can connect to ALL our files online.

... It's all about selling solutions, not just gizmos.
