Apple Picks Instagram As The “iPhone App Of The Year” | TechCrunch

Congrats to Instagram. The honor is well deserved. The app has become a staple of my life. In some ways, it’s more compelling than Facebook or Twitter.

“People come to the Apple Store for the experience — and they’re willing to pay a premium for that. There are lots of components to that experience, but maybe the most important — and this is something that can translate to any retailer — is that the staff isn’t focused on selling stuff, it’s focused on building relationships and trying to make people’s lives better. That may sound hokey, but it’s true.” What I Learned Building the Apple Store - Ron Johnson - Harvard Business Review

The iOS 5.0.1 OTA Update

parislemon:

After all is said and done, this may actually be my favorite thing about iOS 5. OTA updates just work and are fast as hell.

Best of all, no computer required. This will mean a huge percentage of people who previously didn’t update will now update. You’d be surprised how many people never actually sync with a machine. Now they don’t have to.

“But while Gates saying that Jobs “never really understood much about technology” was probably intended as a criticism, the truth is that in most cases the technology is the least important thing about Apple’s products, and probably wouldn’t appear anywhere on the list of the main reasons why devices like the iPod or the iPhone or the iPad are so appealing.” Steve Jobs and why technology doesn’t matter — Tech News and Analysis

“In reading the numerous articles about Steve Jobs over the past week or so, one thing has become readily apparent: Jobs was playing a different game than everybody else. While computer manufacturers were focused on making it as efficient as possible to sell as many computers as possible (think of Dell and their creation of a computer customization assembly line), Jobs focused Apple on one thing: making incredible products that their customers were absolutely fanatical about.”

“SMS won’t go away completely, just as e-mail hasn’t entirely killed snail mail — it’ll just be a sad shell of its former self. It’ll hold strong for a few years longer in certain countries outside of the US, until a standard is set and the new protocol is embraced in feature phones. Companies will still harass you via SMS. You’ll still be able to vote for your favorite American Idol via SMS. But SMS, as we’ve known and loathed for far too long, as a ubiquitous and integrated part of our world’s communication, as an unjustifiable cash cow for the carriers, is dying. Good riddance.” October 12, 2011: The Day SMS Began To Die | TechCrunch
