La estrategia de Apple, el mail que Steve Jobs envió para afrontar los años siguientes

El segundo jucio que vuelve a enfrentar a Apple y Samsung por todos esos lios de patentes va a servir para que conozcamos detalles que, hasta el momento, la compañía guardaba con recelo. Y es que la transparencia del proceso les obliga a mostrar documentos como el que podréis leer ahora: un email enviado por Steve Jobs un año antes de su fallecimiento.

En dicho mail se recogen una serie de puntos que describen la estrategia de Apple y fue enviado a cien empleados de la compañía. En él podemos ver cómo hace alusión a una guerra santa contra Google, liderar esa era Post PC y mucho más.

Echad un vistazo porque no tiene desperdicio y hay puntos interesantes. Unos ejemplos:

• create low cost iPhone model based on iPod touch to replace 3GS

• Apple is in danger of hanging on to old paradigm too long (innovator?s dilemma)

• apps, browser, magic wand? (haciendo alusión al Apple TV)

Estad atentos porque vamos a ir conociendo detalles muy interesantes durante lo que dure todo el juicio.
