Little Timmy sticking his head in the sand again.
Is anybody really surprised? Apple had the opportunity to lead the market with the watch. But they blew it...as usual.
I've no doubt little Timmy Cook is a wonderful and analytical guy. But he's no Steve Jobs. He's definitely not a visionary. Nor an innovator. As a bean counter, all he's really interested in is unit profit....Interest only in how many can they shift. I doubt very much Steve would have let the watch out of Cupertino in its current form. It's a good idea, poorly implemented. It says a lot when Samsung seem to have got the ergonomics almost perfect. The twisting bezel could have come straight from Jony Ives desk.
But no, Apple went with the awkward square shape and a crown. They had the chance to improve it this year and even better Samsungs design. But no, little Timmy only wants spend as little as possible on R&D to maximise profits. The same seems to be true of all Apple products now. Starved of innovation and constantly playing catch up. Apple, under little Timmy and his calculator are very slowly sleepwalking into oblivion. And they'll continue to do so whilst that guy is head of the company.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
