Netgear CEO Says Jobs's Ego Will Bite Apple

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday January 31, 2011 @01:46AM from the even-egos-go-on-vacation dept.

AcidAUS writes "The global chairman and CEO of home networking giant Netgear has launched into a scathing attack on Apple and its founder Steve Jobs, criticising Jobs's 'ego' and Apple's closed up products. At a lunch in Sydney today, Patrick Lo said Apple's success was centred on closed and proprietary products that would soon be overtaken by open platforms like Google's Android."

Iphones are not cool, there too ubiquitous, when the binman has one, it's no longer the phone to desire, my N900 that's cool, only 5 people have them

The prototype didn't do so well, but there are an awful lot of the production model around. All those silver notebooks with glowing apples on the cover.
