Staying with the Apple theme, I suggest taking the questions put forward in the previous post - How will this play out in Europe? Can Apple redefine the mobile phone industry? How are the largest market players likely to react and defend their position? … and then consider the following clip:



If you were an industry analyst in 2001, how would you have reacted to Job's announcement? Would you have invested in this obscure and unknown product - the iPod?

I don't recommend studying the entire clip, but it is interesting. I personally think it is interesting to see how much the presentation style has changed from 2001 to 2007. And also, how little it has changed.
