I have used Logitech mice since the late 90's. But I never see Logitech as an Apple-like company. They most certainly don't pay that much attention to details. They make decent mice with half baked designs, and terrible software. They are still the best imho but they could do so much better.
That's nice, but moot. In the end, Apple isn't the only company that pays attention to detail. That's a fact.
You do realize that Apple had the Newton and Plam@ Treo were just cheap knockoffs of the Newton?
This is false. Wikipedia and Google searches have more information for you on that.
If nothing else, search through the countless threads, forums, and posts where this nonsense has been utterly debunked over and over again.
It's like saying Apple was the first to make the cell phone.
Yeah or things like cut, copy and paste or mms supports which iPhone users were told for years we didn't need (just send a pic as an email attachment) then rolled out as an innovative update that other phones had for years.
Very true. Add to that the ability to change the homepage and lock screen image, which was introduced when? I forgot like iOS 4?
Then there were the more advanced features like wireless device to device transfers and wireless syncing. I could sync my iTunes music library from my 14" iBook to my Palm TX and Palm Treo 650 in 2004 and 2005 just fine . . . it took all night though.
Guess who made the "Mighty Mouse"? Logitech.
It was handme down garbage then. The mighty mouse was the worse mouse to date, even worse than the hockey puck mouse IMHO.
As far as details are concerned Logitech has been killing it with features, battery life, thinness, aesthetic, intuitive use and software controls, build quality, etc. etc. etc.
I sound like a fanboy, but these are all things I like in my products, which is why I buy Apple computers, and Logitech mice and keyboards to go with them.
Proof? Otherwise your full of **it
out of the "single gatekeeper" position of authority here, given he's an Ops guy. He passed the buck to the hardware guy and got rid of one of the primary software guys (Forstall) who actually shared Steve's software aesthetic sense.
