Dvorak to Apple - Stop The iPhone
eldavojohn writes "John Dvorak is advising Apple to cease all efforts on the iPhone, citing the mobile handset business as a 'buzz saw waiting to chop up newbies.' With Apple's image as a 'hot company that can do no wrong' on the line, Dvorak warns that the extremely fad-prone marketplace for cell phones will quickly turn the 'hot' iPhone passe'. Unless the company has several new models in the pipeline to release after the original offering, he says, they're likely to fail. 'If it's smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures.'"
He fails to recognize it doesn't matter what Apple does, it has a fan base that will buy anything it produces, whether it works or not. I guarantee you it will express exactly who you are, and that's what matters!
It's another terible post from a terrible writer approved by the worst slashdot editor. At least Zonk stopped being the dupe master...but he makes the worst decisions about what to post.
