Quote to Note: Ecosystem Is Where It Is At
August 21, 2011
Quote to note: I was flipping through posts in one of my Overflight files today and read “HTC Pledges Support for Google.”
Here is the passage I noted. Mark the date, August 20, 2011. In the next six to 12 months, this quote may be a touch stone:
Chou [HTC boss] says “it’s not the operating system, it’s the ecosystem,” adding “we think we can find a way to differentiate to add value, but at the same time leverage our partners, Google and Microsoft, since we have such a great relationship with them.”
My view? Watch and wait. I think I will check out my copy of The Art of War. I remember reading something along these lines:
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
Nah, not relevant.
