No More Mac?
On January 9, 2007 Steve Jobs announced that Apple Computer, Inc. would now be named Apple Inc. to better reflect the product mix that they have today. In the following weeks and months many bloggers were increasingly upset about this change.
The end of the Mac is right around the corner -- correct? I just don't see a company can possibly develop computer hardware and software without the word computer its name. You know like Microsoft Computers, HP Computers, IBM Computers, Dell Computers, and Gateway Computers. Oh wait a second... none of those companies have the word computer in their official name. Is it possible that maybe some people overreacted a little bit about the Apple name change?
If Apple were planning to eliminate the Mac product line why would they continue blowing money on television commercials?
The Mac OS is at the center of nearly all of Apple's products (iPhone, Apple TV, and Mac desktops and notebooks). Also, according to Apple their market share continues to increase as Windows users join the Mac family.
Can someone tell me why Apple would dump a product that is growing in popularity?
