Obviously the same went for the original iPod, people already had all their content to go - music. Interestingly, Jobs did say that video wouldn't be good on an iPod because there really was no content out there. So what did he do when he released the iPod 5th Gen? He made content easily available: TV shows, Pixar shorts and music videos, all on iTunes.<BR/><BR/>And so it is with the mobile space. As you say, the content is already there - the web. All that is missing is a super-portable and intuitive device that lets people access that content on the go. Nature abhors a vacuum. iPhone will fill it quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-64042229118042706432007-07-03T21:04:00.000-04:002007-07-03T21:04:00.000-04:00Nothing wrong with profit.And the pursuit of it wi...Nothing wrong with profit.<BR/><BR/>And the pursuit of it will lead Apple to drastically lower the price at some point, so that larger numbers of people will be able to buy iPhones.<BR/><BR/>The first video recorders for home televisions, for example, went for $1800 or more. Now DVD players are under $100.Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-38574388356300460462007-07-03T15:19:00.000-04:002007-07-03T15:19:00.000-04:00not bad, considering apple has a 55% gross profit ...not bad, considering apple has a <A HREF="http://www.ponderthis.net/2007/07/03/iphone-high-gross-margins/" REL="nofollow">55% gross profit margin on these phones.</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000615565369680593noreply@blogger.com
