Acreditar ou não na convergência
A questão é mais ou menos simples: vão triunfar os aparelhos que concentrarem diversos sistemas ou aparelhos singulares, como os iPods? Diversos leitores de Mp3 são muito mais do que isso, já têm sintonizadores FM ou até máquina fotográfica.
A Apple resiste a incorporar outros sistemas no iPod. Mas fala-se que pode lançar um telemóvel iPod. Será o triunfo da convergência tecnológica e digital?
"Apple Executives Question Device Convergence
While device convergence discussions permeated the hallways at CTIA in San
Francisco, a pair of Apple executives recently questioned the logic of the
all-in-one approach. "Is there a toaster that can also brew coffee?"
questioned Apple senior vice president Jon Rubenstein in a recent interview
with German site Berlin Online. "Many companies believe in convergence, but
I personally do not," continued Rubinstein. "It's important to have
specialized devices." That is certainly the strategy behind the successful
line of iPods, though mobile manufacturers and carriers are hoping to
challenge the early Apple lead in portable music.
While the vibe on the ROKR was downbeat at the wireless conference, there
has been some chatter that Apple is developing a more impressive, iPod-like
smartphone. But so far, both Rubenstein and vice president Phil Schiller,
also in the interview, seemed to be taking and wait-and-see approach. Both
agreed that the "the Motorola phone is no replacement for the iPod," and
looked forward to the response on the ROKR before investing heavy energies
into the mobile market. The interview follows some very pro-convergent
comments by Motorola chief Ed Zander, who questioned the relevance of the
newly-released iPod nano."
