Per riprendere una questione aperta alcune settimane fa, sul costo contenuto e molto competitivo dell’iPad, ecco quel che scrive Larry Dignan su Znet:
“When Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched the iPad it wasn’t clear how aggressively these newfangled devices were priced. Now we know because Android tablets and other rival tablets can’t hang on pricing.”
Ovvero, come fra l’altro sottolinea lo stesso Steve Jobs nella dichiarazione riportata a fine post, gli “avversari”, pur riducendo le dimensioni dello schermo, pur rendendo il device meno potente, pur optando per soluzioni più economiche e di qualità inferiore, non riesco a star dentro nel prezzo. Ah ah.
“Our potential competitors are having a tough time coming close to iPad’s pricing even with their far smaller, far less expensive screens. The iPad incorporates everything we’ve learned about building high value products from iPhones, iPods and Macs. We create our own A4 chip, our own software, our own battery chemistry, our own enclosure, our own everything, and this results in an incredible product at a great price. The proof of this will be in the pricing of our competitors’ products which will likely offer less for more.”
