Dyson, Vitamix, Iphone are some examples of gadgets and technology which blew its competitors away and dominated the market with their excellent design and engineering product. It comes to a point where product is all about quality & reputation and not just about their sales figure anymore.
It is not easy for a company with such reputation to release a different product each time. Expectations are high from your fans and consumers, also you make more enemies and more hates sites with every penny you make. Dyson are always recognised as the people who make hovers. Even if they made a new wahsing machine with their technology, they will always be recognised as the hover guys.
Vitamix is the same. But i guess they are whole lot more comfortable with what they have, not being greedy and sticking to what they are good at and selling it to not only consumers but for industrial purpose etc. Macdonalds, Starbucks and the list goes.....
Apple on the otherhand have an entirely different goal. Yes they want to dominate the world. How different are they? Their finished product have always been very well polish. Price dont fluctuate much so consumers who buy their product now and 12 months later will still pay the same price. They believe in change, revolution, all in one package. With ever more hate sites about apple product there are always a multiple of 10 fans around. Are they trying to conqure the world now with their new revolutionary IPAD?
Can you clearly define what an IPAD is? E-Book or Kindle Killer? Netbook Killer? PSP/DS Killer? Or Simply Iphone for the Old Age People?
Well i guess with their excellent marketting experience and large pools of fans and believers they are doing very well for the start of the 2010 millenia.
Please remember, Apple have been sucessful in the past 10-20 years is because they study how other company make mistake and correct them. E.G
1. Classic microsoft for releasing products not up to expectation. Too many blue screen crashes. Apple brought in beautiful nearly non-crashes and nealry virus free.
2. Creative not doing well with portable music. Again apple step in with Ipod to show what needs to be done with wheel scroller. Since there are a few thousand songs altogether
3. Nokia enjoying their domination till apple step in to show the true hybrid between a smart phone and a conventional phone with the Iphone.
Apple have a really good track record so far and will they take it up another notch with the Ipad?
This is Apple's first attempt to release something before anyone else. Tablet in the 2000's doesnt count :P.
Everyone is watching apple, ASUS, MSI, GOOGLE, MICROSOFT. Everyone is waiting for apple to inform the fellow gadget hungry society what we need. Define it very well that we need a touch screen table and BAM!
After Stev Jobs' announcement everyone is deliberately leaking their own's stuff with minimal effort.
Lets see the list................................
1. JOO WHO?
A table couch, High Definition and everything else But who is JuJu?

Finally Google's own android. Not windows 7 but goolge's own from scratch OS. With heaps of free software like the picasa, youtube all bound to google. Will they dominate? i think this is my favourite one of all and many anti-apple people would agree with me strongly
