Apple Cell Phone / Music Player
It’s turning out to be quite the busy week for me. There’s a lot of activity picking up in my job search including interviews every day this week as well as many of the emails, phone calls, and follow-ups that go with them. I would say that things are looking very promising and I hope to get myself into the workforce soon.
In any case, I haven’t had much time to blog over the past few days because of all these commitments. Regardless, I just wanted to make a quick comment about Apple’s recent announcement concerning their new cell phone / iPod combination device. I’ve seen a few small companies come out with devices like this but nobody with the marketing clout and name recognition like Apple. My question is, why haven’t these combo music player – cell phone pieces taken off years ago? It seems to me like an unbelievably obvious match to embed portable music players into cell phones. This way you don’t have to carry around both. I certainly think that more people would be attracted to a built-in music player rather than a built-in camera that doesn’t even take very nice quality pictures. However, it seems like every cell phone out there, these days, has digital camera functionality.
In any case, I would anticipate that Apple’s new offering will be not only successful, but also copied by every major cell phone manufacturing company on the planet. Get ready for the next big pitch in the incredibly over-marketed cell phone industry.
