It’s the Software, Stupid

February 3, 2010

"In hardware you can't build a computer that's twice as good as anyone else's anymore. But you can do it in software." —Steve Jobs in a 1994 Rolling Stone interview [via]

And apparently you can charge a premium for that same hardware.

So how does this explain iTunes for Windows?

Well, he’s right. Problem is what Jobs doesn’t realize is that the long tail of developers can do it even better. And if he doesn’t open up to them, he’ll end up with the same trend Microsoft has.

Gotta love Apple’s innovation though. They do take leaps.
