The decision of one man changed everything. How could such a huge corporation not see the mobile turn and embrace it?
I'm not sure. By the early 2000s it was fairly obvious that mobile devices were the things of the future, and technology (doing what technology has always done) would progress. You would think that, even if he hadn't forseen the smartphone revolution, that they would at least want to try and get something together that could power phones in general.
Perhaps he did see that, but thought "x86 will be here forever" and didn't want to bother.
They tried with the Atom (not-so-low-power lightweight Celeron architecture) but it was too shitty to run anything.
Even that fat Steve Ballmer at Microsoft missed that revolution and tried to jump in (too late) with the Zune, and by buying Nokia to sell phones with a stripped down Windows phone OS.
These shekel rubbers were too confident with their monopoly to see what was coming.
At least Steve Jobs and his staff had that vision in mind, but that vision and innovation went to a stop with that anti-White nigger-loving Tim Cuck faggot.
That's one thing I'll give Jobs. He had ideas about things.
He also pulled some boners like the firewire port thing....but on the whole, Apple wasn't crying for any money when they hit their stride.
Maybe at his age, he just didn’t appreciate that global shift in computing needs?
