Why the iPhone Keynote Was A Mistake
jcatcw writes "Mike Elgan at Computerworld lists six reasons why it was a mistake to make the iPhone keynote at Macworld. He argues that extremely high expectations can only lead to disappointment for consumers and investors. The focus on the phone during the keynote also took away from the Apple TV announcement, put iPod sales at risk, gave competitors a head start, and (perhaps worst of all) ruined the company's talks with Cisco over the iPhone name. From the article: 'The iPhone, despite its many media-oriented virtues and its sweet design, will do far less than most existing smart phones. The problem Apple now faces because of Jobs' premature detail-oriented announcement is that of dashed expectations. When customers expect more and don't get it, they become dissatisfied.'"
Whoa, how did I get modded troll?

Because the article is idiotic trolling, and by agreeing with it, you must be a troll too.
Hey, Star Trekkin' was an awesome song.
You give 10 and 20 years in the past, btw. I only referred to 20 or 30 years ago, although 1997 did herald the release of OK Computer. Can you find something equally embarrassing for the UK in 1977?
I may make you feel, but I can't make you think.
