Dellov tablet na Windowsima 7

čemu služi paušalno objavljivanje vijesti ( mislim na dell i slične, ne na bug ) o nekim nepostojećim uređajima, neodređene cijene i specifikacija, netestiranih i nepoznatih ... nemaju li od koga učiti da se to ne radi jer ne služi ničemu?

To isto radi i Apple, čak i bezveznije, šireći glasine o nadolazećim uređajima, puštajući da se isti "slučajno" ukradu itd.

glupost, Apple nikad ali bas nikad ne objavljuje nikakve specifikacije, nedajbože izgled ili ikakve podatke o nečemu što nije gotov proivod. Bar se oni toga drže tj poznati su po tome. Jesi li ikad igdje čuo da je apple predstavio prototip nečega, hardwarea ili softwarea, prewiew, peek? Dapače ekstremni su i tajnoviti u drugu krajnost, tužakaju i dijele otkaze ako igdje ista procuri bez odobrenja.

Zapravo izgradili su čitav image posve suprotan od ostatka industrije, skrivanjem, tajenjem i držanjem iza zavjese do zadnjeg momenta ...  taktika je da se na svako pitanje medija odgovara sa no comment. iPhone je bio presedan da su predstavili jos nedovrsen proizvod nekoliko mjeseci prije službene prodaje, a iPhone teško i nikako da je namjerno izgubljen. Stotine rumor siteova žive od špekulacije o appleu, a sam apple je mnoge natjerao na zatvaranje.

Ako i postoje kontrolirano curenje informacija prema vani, to je doista curenje na kapaljku u obliku rumorsa na jednom ili dva sajta koji su dovoljno čitani, i to u službu stišavanja euforije ili prevelikih i nerealnih očekivanja ( kao sad sa retinom za iPad2 )

"Most companies would pay millions of dollars for that kind of attention — an army of fans so eager to buy your stuff that they can't wait for official announcements to learn about the newest products. But not Apple. Over the course of his run, Ciarelli received dozens of cease-and-desist letters from the object of his affection, charging him with everything from copyright infringement to disclosing trade secrets. In January 2005, Apple filed a lawsuit against Ciarelli, accusing him of illegally soliciting trade secrets from its employees. Two years later, in December 2007, Ciarelli settled with Apple, shutting down his site two months later. (He and Apple agreed to keep the settlement terms confidential.)"

"Even Apple employees often have no idea what their own company is up to. Workers' electronic security badges are programmed to restrict access to various areas of the campus. (Signs warning NO TAILGATING are posted on doors to discourage the curious from sneaking into off-limit areas.) Software and hardware designers are housed in separate buildings and kept from seeing each other's work, so neither gets a complete sense of the project. "We have cells, like a terrorist organization," Jon Rubinstein, former head of Apple's hardware and iPod divisions and now executive chair at Palm, toldBusinessWeek in 2000.

At times, Apple's secrecy approaches paranoia. Talking to outsiders is forbidden; employees are warned against telling their families what they are working on. (Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief, once told Fortune magazine he couldn't share the release date of a new iPod with his own son.) Even Jobs is subject to his own strictures. He took home a prototype of Apple's boom box, the iPod Hi-Fi, but kept it concealed under a cloth."

Ljudi kao ti naxeem jednostavno ne shvaćaju način na koji apple funkcionira, zato im je i valjda i odbojan.

OT, neznam za ovaj Dell, ali HP ov pokušaj u drugoj vijesti mi se čini kao prvi pravi ne Apple tablet, al još uvijek je nedovoljno podataka o ovoj verziji WebOSa ( 3.0) i nije testiran ... međutim HP je jedini u nekakvoj poziciji da konkurira ili donekle kopira appleov model ( ima svoj ekosustav sw+hw ) ...
