Apple Needs To Watch Its Back
A few articles of late have me thinking about the future of Apple. All may not be well in the land of the iPod.
First up we have an author on ZDNet explaining why subscription music is making him dump his iPod. The iPod may have like 84% of the market right now, but it doesn't offer subscriptions and if those take off, the iPod may lose its luster.
Second, we have one of my favorite authors, Clayton Christensen, author of the Innovator's Dilemma (if you work in technology and haven't read it, you need to) discussing why the monopoly Apple has on music might be fleeting.
Third, an article in the mainstream press questioning whether the press is treating Apple too favorably.
What does all this mean? Presently, not a whole lot. It does, however, mean the future could look mighty interesting for the little company on Infinity Loop.
