The Apple Obsession

Since the past couple of months, there have been several rumors around IPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the launch of iPad 2 and I am one of them. Finally, today – March 2, 2011 is the day we will get to hear some announcement.

Apple has been one of the most innovative companies and become a mainstream brand. Apple’s success can be attributed primarily to the visionary Steve Jobs. His mind works leaps and bounds ahead of most people. He is even a celebrity now with paparazzi like following. I do sincerely hope he recovers and gives us many more wonderful and cool gadgets.

I recently read that Apple should get into the Cloud since it is so good at doing many innovative things and can easily become a cloud success. But I don’t think Apple should spread itself thin. Apple is best at creating cutting edge and cool products along with reliable software to back them up. Their main forte is physical products that look great and appeal to a wide demographic, even non-techies. Cloud Computing is more about running businesses efficiently, storage and IT infrastructure.  There are already too many players getting into the cloud and it has become really crowded in there. I am sure if Apple ever decided to get into the cloud business they would do good, but why. Do what you do best.
