@monkbent in platform battles, market share wins vs short term margin maximization. True then, still true now. Forget it at your peril.

@bradsilverberg agree. Just posted this: http://stratechery.com/?p=455 Doesn't get into platform implications. Future post :) -
@monkbent is it silly to view the iPod as an iPad nano? Or is it the other way around. -
@axou I was more talking about old-school iPods. The iPod touch is an interesting product...

@monkbent Struck me reading@halberenson that Ballmer famously doesn't allow Apple, other competing devices in his house. Blinders. -
@ampressman@halberenson I say it's a problem; then again, no one at Apple uses competitive products :) -
@monkbent@halberenson Jobs also seemed pretty knowledgable about competing devices, esp the weak points. No sign of that from Ballmer - End of conversation

@monkbent do you think Apple should go for market share regarding iPhone/iPad, too? Do you see iPad mini and iPhone 5C pointing to that? - End of conversation
