iPod - Moving to the Center of Your Media Universe

by Chris Gilbey at 12:39PM (EST) on November 12, 2005 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Research just released shows that the halo effect of iPods on Windows users in increasing. More than a million iPod users moved from Wintel machines to Macs for the first time this year.

Meanwhile an analyst at Piper-Jaffray is saying what we have been saying here at Perceptric for a while - that the real Apple story for Steve Jobs is to become the center of your media universe. Whether it is the iPod that does it as Gene Munster suggests we don't know. Our view is that the new Macs are set to replace your TV and that they will by stealth become the home server, and maybe Sony and Microsoft will have to duke it out with Apple.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
