Is Apple Threatened by Other Competitors
So it’s the truth that Apple still dominates the whole market. But Apple is not always so lucky, let’s recall the time when Steve releasing the iPad, it was indeed a challenge to release iPad, even for Steve Jobs. After releasing the iPad, media had a lukewarm reaction, and some even laughed at Apple, and Jobs only received 800 messages from the users, which made Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple at that time feel deeply “disturbed” and “depressed.” At the night after the release of iPad, Steve Jobs said to Isaacson: “Today I feel a litter depressed, it (the media’s response) made me feel a little bit surprised.” Of course, iPad has survived tenaciously, and compared to other Tablets, it has a higher popularity and the wider market prospect. Not just iPad, the other productions of Apple also become a part of our lives, like iPod, it’s not only just a music player with a huge music library, with dvd to ipod review, we also can watch videos on it, so it’s obvious that why Apple things are so popular among us.
Even though there are many so-called competitors now, but it seems like most of us prefer to study Apple, even those hackers. As soon as Siri has been known to the whole world, those jailbreak developers began to study it, they have ported Siri to iPhone 4, which is the fastest progress by now, and now they want to transplant it to iPad, the first generation, even though Siri becomes a vegetative state after being transplanted to other devices, which means it can’t speak as it does in iPhone 4S, but they will not stop to transplant it, jailbreak developer @ jackoplane, who has ported Siri to iPad2 claimed that he has transplanted Siri to the first generation iPad successfully. No doubt, Siri can’t be connected to servers of Apple when it is transplanted to iPad, but a developer called @ stroughtonsmith said that any iOS devices can be disguised as iPhone 4S cleverly, then can be connected with the Apple servers.
The pass hasn’t over, but the coming is near, according to AppleInsider, iPad 3 will be launched in March, 2012, about one year after the release of iPad 2. The report also said the new iPad has the same size with iPad 2, but it is not clear whether it will have a higher screen resolution. No matter it is true or just rumors, what we are sure is the world still wants more Apple stuff, like iPod, even Apple is planning to reduce the product lines of iPod classic, but the quantity demand of iPod or related gadgets of iPod like ipod video converter can’t not be ignored, so no matter iPad, iPhone, iPod or Mac, as long as it belongs to Apple, people want it.
