Apple’s research and development teams are certainly considering ways in which they can engage the processor design expertise recently bought in-house on strength of the PA Semi purchase.
“PA Semi is going to do system-on-chips for iPhones and iPods,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the New York Times in June – but the Apple rumpur machine has already moved into overdrive, with the most recent speculation claiming the company’s boffins are now looking to develop a small processor that would be capable of QuickTime encoding and decoding.
Over at Computerworld, I did a quickie on Apple’s product names being so much better than their competitors.
Would you rather have an XPS-420 or a MacPro?
a Toshiba G900 or an iPhone 8Gb?
a Sandisk e270 Mp3 Player or an iPod Nano?
an Apple Airport Extreme or Linksys WRT54G? (OK, I’m not sure about this one- DD-WRT FTW – but you get the point)
With a Big. Simple. True. (as the folks at Wolff Olins used to say) naming strategy, Apple is already a step ahead of its competition – before the customer even sees the products.
So doing the last post, we had to do some research on Shaw Wu an Analyst for American Technology Research who had made a bad call on the numbers of iPhone unlocking. Thankfully, MacRumors has put together a list of Shaw’s predictions and their subsequent "truthieness". He’s riding about 15% correct…which is like picking horses at the track based on their names. Given all of this, he has a 4/5 star rating from Yahoo and many people make investment decisions based on his guidance. Some of the better ones (from Macrumors):
Apple has taken two of the world creative industry’s most-coveted awards, a pair of Black Pencils from the D&AD, one for the iMac, another for the iPhone.
The D&AD winners were announced at an awards ceremony held in London tonight, on 15 May. Apple’s a regular winner at these events, taking two of the slightly less-coveted Yellow Pencils in 2006 (for the iPod’s video and nano).
In 2005, Apple’s head of industrial design Jonathan Ive won his own award, a special one made in recognition of his world-class achievements in design, the D&AD President’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry. Apple’s iPod,iPod mini and Cinema Display took Yellow Pencil awards in the same year.
In 2004, Apple again won a Yellow Pencil, this time for the PowerBook. Before this, Apple had won at least one award every year since 1999.
