Shaking It Up

Sounds like a mission statement:

take an existing, mundane business and turn it on its head.

That's what Apple is doing to the mobile app industry, as per GigaOM. Re-thinking an industry. Taking a better look and actually seeing a value-creating opportunity where others see nada. It's as much branding as it is business strategy and it's a huge differentiator in a world where even tiny differences are extremely hard to get by.

On a related note, I have a Nokia E71 and have no intention to switch to iPhone. However, I'm pissed at having extremely few choices when it comes to apps for my smartphone.

Well, the Iphone debate will carry on forever. I wrote a post on my blog recently why Apple arouses such sublime desires. I still prefer Nokia as my phone and Ipod as my music jukebox. Iphone does add bells and whistles but Nokia make great phones.

Well, in the end both brands' fortunes depend on what the average Joe thinks about "bells&whistles" vs. "great". What each of the two means and which one is more desirable.
