“Screw the nano”, ZNDR Says

by on 26. Sep, 2005 in Analysis

MOTOCEO Ed ZNDR sounds pissed off: ‘Screw the nano,’ said Zander. ‘What the hell does the nano do? Who listens to 1,000 songs? People are going to want devices that do more than just play music, something that can be seen in many other countries with more advanced mobile phone networks and savvy users,’ he said.”

Fresh off Friday’s advice for Motorola, here’s a few observations from the opening morning of CTIA here in San Fran:

iPod nanos spotted walking around SF this morning: quite a few

Motorola ROKRs seen: none

Don’t hate on Apple because they’ve come up with something people want to buy, Ed. Watch and learn.

  • I think people might want the nano now - but in 3-5 yrs. Such devises will be obsolete and gone.

    You need the Swiss Army Knife device ÇƒÏ that can soothe every mobile computing need not just music.

    Apple have a hard time ÇƒÏ they seem much too late to enter the mobile market.

    Anyway: voice and music is not enough the I-phone will only appeal to people that are design suckers ;-)
  • I am not sure if people want a device which can do more. These devices will always be compromises. But especially savvy people do not want compromises. I like the way Apple is developing this digital music market. It is straight and simple. Everyone can understand.
