Like a Car that Flies and Floats
MacRumors transcription of the Apple Quarterly Conference Call:
Q: How do you think about the Win8 and Surface tablets?
A: Haven’t played with a Surface yet. What we’re reading about it is that it’s a fairly compromised, confusing product. One of the toughest things you do when making a product is to make hard tradeoffs. We’ve done that with the iPad and the user experience is incredible.
You could design a car that flies and floats, but I don’t think it would do those things very well. People look at the iPad and competitive offerings, I think they conclude the iPad is the better choice. [Tim Cook]
This quarter’s ToasterFridge.
