Why Apple - An Opinion
A couple of years ago, Blackberry was quite relevant in the world of technology. Boys in suits swore by it and flaunting BBM was cool. By then Apple had made a dent in the mobile world with the iPhone, but companies like Nokia and Blackberry soldiered on with a loyal fanbase. I'm not denying my love for Nokia here, but BB was never my thing. When Apple took the wraps off the iPad in 2010, no one believed it had any future, dismissing it as a blown up iPod Touch. Five years since and it's definitely not true. The compeition of course did not stand back doing nothing, instead tried to take the iPad head on with designs that were not appealing or operating systems that lacked the utility of a tablet. Despite all this, I bought myself a Blackberry Playbook during a fire sale and was very pleased with my decision. I immediately dismissed the iPad as an expensive piece of metal that Apple as usual wants me to burn all my savings on. Guess we all love hating Apple at some level ...
