Amazon and Google are great companies.
But Apple is a more innovative one.
In today’s Observer, John Naughton writes, again, a great column with some strong remarks:
First, forget about Kindle.
“While the Kindle is probably the best of the current eReader breed, it is actually a rather clunky and primitive device.”
Yes, it’s is a bluff.
Second, forget about Google gadgets:
“Google devices (like the Android phone) are excellent in their way, but seem haphazard and unfinished in comparison with the slickly-unified and predictable Apple device.”
Yes, Sir.
Third, stay with Apple:
“If Apple does produce an iPad/iSlate, things will suddenly become very interesting. At present, devices such as the Kindle are like the Daimler “horseless carriage” of 1886: the only difference is that the nag has been replaced by the engine. For electronic reading to become more than a way of carrying lots of texts around, eReaders have to become devices that add significant value to the reading experience. The only company that stands a chance of bringing that off is Apple.”
Wait and see the Apple iPad/Slate/Tablet/Guide!
