Apple has done it! Apple has done it again!
Another breakthrough innovation in the notebook industry in less than a year's time. First, it was the Thinnovation product - MacBook Air and now there're the unibody enclosure MacBook and MacBook Pro.
They are always ahead of others, more innovative and inventive, on-target marketing strategies and most importantly is dare to dream big. This is the kind of momentum that pushes Apple to the throne of innovation in this decade!
As long as Apple takes every step carefully and steadily while keeping its speed faster than others, a few more wave of Apple domination heat will follow in the next decade. The web will become more and more developed and personalized and if Apple is able to continue to position/align their products with the next generation web (3.0), everybody will use at least one Apple product to hook their life on the internet. Maybe Apple should integrate more intelligence into its product in the next few years.
Regarding Google's role in the mobile phone market, since Google is like the captain of this decade's web aeroplane therefore it can see further than any other tech companies (passengers) and so it will be able to design its phone to harness the force of future web technologies. In fact, when individual web experience is divorced from PC and marry mobile phone in the near future, Google will be ready to turn on its AI in every phone in the market. Google won't be building any computer because PC will have to pay a lot of divorce fee when the web leaves him for the handsome mobile phone.
The new T-Mobile G1 (built by HTC, Taiwan) with Google Android "Conciousness" (OS) is actually a rookie pilot only. But one day this pilot will become an astronaut.
That's my current view. Will continue taking note of my opinions, forecasts and analysis relating to web and machines used to use the web.
