I learned from my presentation the other week that very few people in our class do not own an iPod or an iPhone. It's amazing to me that one company could have such an influence on society that they made their product a standard. A visit to any gym would reveal an iPod in almost every gym-goers hand. They have turned a laptop into a "green" attraction by making it earth friendly. Who knew a laptop could be earth friendly! By using recyclable products to produce the laptop and adding a battery that lasts twice as long as its previous version with a life cycle of over 1,000 charges they have managed to come out on top of the market yet again, despite the increasing pressure of caring for the earth. Apple seems to consistently come up with "must-have" gadgets that grab my attention almost every day. I've mentioned before that I am an advertisers dream. If it looks really good on a commercial I can't get it out of my head. My roommate has an iPhone and it amazes me the "apps" he has on his phone. There's an app that he can set to "ring" his phone as if someone is calling that he sets for a certain time should he need an excuse to get out of a situation or conversation. The commercial currently running that turns the phone into a level is a perfect example. Turning a phone into an actual tool. Now that's innovation.
