EddieEC wroteYou people don't know Apple in any way. They know we want multitasking, they know we wanted a camera on the iPad. They won't do it just like that. Either the next iPad will have the camera for extra fees or something. As for multitasking, it wants you to buy everything it releases, since you expect it won't have multitasking anyways, and then BAM! they will release the multitasking devices, for you to buy them.
They just want to profit. Not saying that in a bad way. I think Apple is great.
I was shocked first when I read this post, but then I thought "oh well, that's how Apple sells its products anyway". Yeah, basically what I'm saying is that Apple simply depends on its fanboys to sell its products. Even if that product is literally useless, there WILL be thousands buying that product simply because it's yet another product from Apple.
EddieEC, hopefully you'll take some marketing courses or read some basic marketing book someday. Then return back to this particular post and tell me what you feel.
Good marketing is when you give the consumer what he wants, and not make him wait for an upgrade that includes what he wants. What if some other company produces a similar product that provides a cam and multi-tasking abilities? What would happen to this crappy iPad? I'll leave that for you to figure it out :)
BUT, unfortunately, as I mentioned above: Apple has successfully nurtured an extremely loyal population of customers (which they deserve a lot of credit for actually). They were able to do that with their release of the first iPhone which was innovative at that time. So now, they strongly depend on their
blind customers who are willing to buy
THIS iPad knowing that the next iPad will most likely have the other features which are not available in this one. And yeah, they WILL buy the next iPad as well when it's out.
