@BenedictEvans the shuffle is an outlier, basically it hasn’t an OS yet fulfills a job. wouldnt work for an iOS device.
@ciregreblrep @BenedictEvans all iPods were price competitive, not just the shuffle http://stratechery.com/2010/apple-innovators-dilemma/#price …
@monkbent @BenedictEvans true but the minimal OS on all but the touch allowed for that competitive pricing. Not analogous to iOS devices.
@ciregreblrep @monkbent you can get a perfectly usable 2G Android for $40 wholesale
@BenedictEvans @ciregreblrep @monkbent One can get any item of clothing for nearly nothing at a thrift store. Does not mean that people do.
@asymco @BenedictEvans @ciregreblrep you also don't need to shop exclusively at Barneys. Wide middle ground.
@monkbent @asymco @BenedictEvans Apple have many examples of how they define what middle ground they’ll play in, eg, plastic MacBooks.
@monkbent I always enjoy your essays, care to make one on examples of how Apple defines their middle ground?
@ciregreblrep thinking about it
