Ballmer on iPhone Marketshare

[timswim78]

God I really cant believe this guy. He pisses me off to no end. You dont see apple commenting about what microsoft are doing and badmouthing them do you? I remember reading an interview with Steve Jobs about the Zune. Not once does he badmouth MS saying they are terrible, yet Balmer seems to do this all the time. He reminds me of someone in denial, who cant accept that someone might have something better then he does.

Wow! Do you crawl out of your cave much? Apple often spends a good chunk of keynotes bashing MS, with both blatant and subtle messages.

Cell phones are ripe for the kind of user-experience reinvention that made the iPod the mack-daddy of the mp3 player world.

Remember all of the initial criticism of the iPod? Nothing new? Too expensive? A fantastic, easy, intuitive, and functional user experience wins big over bells & whistles.

I have disliked every cell phone I've ever owned or used at work. Bad displays, buttons too small, terrible interfaces, convoluted OSs. If Apple just makes the current technology work seamlessly, easily, and elegantly, with great build quality and Apple "chic", this thing is going to be HUGE.

Think user experience. That is the ONLY thing that really sets an iPod apart from its competitors. That one factor = complete market domination.

I have to find a way to get my wife to let me buy Apple stock before the iPhone release date.

What he said. Well put.
