Wearables Revolution

Wearables Revolution

By Denis Pombriant on September 18, 2014

But Wait, There’s More

But Wait, There’s More

A second article in the Times (following up on yesterday’s reporting on Apple’s smart Watch) says Apple has been oh-so-smart to produce a developer’s kit so that the market can decide the killer app for the device. Killer app here is code for justifying the product’s purchase in the first place. All hardware goes through […]

Where’s the Soul of These Tiny New Machines?

Where’s the Soul of These Tiny New Machines?

By Denis Pombriant on September 12, 2014

I can’t be sure if Apple jumped the shark or not. Introducing the long awaited iPhone 6 and Watch wearable device made me do a lot of thinking. First the iPhone. iPhone They obviously need some better naming conventions to describe the bigger and biggest iPhones and ideally the naming should come from the suitability […]

Broken Cloud

Broken Cloud

By Jeff Nolan on September 3, 2014

Trust is a cornerstone of the Apple brand… the company that pioneered the notion of “the stuff just works”. The damage the brand has suffered this week is yet to be calculated and the “hey it’s not our fault, users should manage passwords better” statement didn’t help.

Apple Killjoy

Apple Killjoy

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 25, 2014

There are so many amazingly positive visuals of Apple. Customers leaping for joy after they have lined for hours outside a store for their new device.  My kids when we traded their Blackberries for iPhones.

The move to “rich” mobile apps

By Vinnie Mirchandani on September 19, 2013

The Wisdom of Being Safe

The Wisdom of Being Safe

By Jeff Nolan on May 23, 2013

I was reading this article on the wave of executive departures at HTC on the heals of a successful product, the HTC One, and a clearly unsuccessful launch of the HTC First.
