if we come to think of it di naman ganun ka-revolutionary ang products ng apple.. in my opinion what they do is "reinventing" what is common.. kumbaga nirere-engineer nila ang isang technology tapos binigyan nila ng unique "style" on how to use and enjoy that technology.. ang tawag dun is
"User Experience" before the iPhone eh marami ng touchscreens na naglipana sa market (I think yung Sony Ericsson P910i ang pinaka-lates nung year na yun) pero yung iPhone is "iba" kasi astig yung experience na ibinigay nung user interface nya sa mga users.. sobrang bilis ng response (almost no lag at all) unlike yung mga touchscreens nung panahon na yun eh merong mili-second delay kada pindot.. and who can attest na the "multi-touch" technology is not revolutionary? walang nakaisip nun nung panahon na yun..
lahat ng touchscreens nun single-touch-response lang.. (kumbaga literal na touch-screen lang) unlike sa iPhone na may
pinch to zoom, hold and press..
swipe and double tap.
what I love about Steve Jobs is he's no engineer.. he's no programmer.. sales person sya actually and he knows what product to offer the best.. kumbaga pag sinabi ni Steve Jobs na "I want it like this" sasabihin ng programmer at engineer "Its not possible with the current technology" then sasabihin ni Steve "Then lets go at R&D". after a year or two meron na silang bagong produkto.
in short
"visionary" si Steve.. hindi nya iniisip kung ano yung pwedeng "ibenta kaagad ngayon" what he wants is "what can we give tomorrow" or "how can we change, revolutionize and reinvent the future".
in a way yung qualities na ganun ang isa sa mga solid assets for a leader.. imagine kung ang mga presidente ng pilipinas eh "visionary" angganda siguro ng magiging future ng mga susunod na generation natin.
