Steve Jobs has just resigned as Chief Executive of Corporate (CEO) of Apple Inc.. Throughout its history, not always the product that they produce could very well received by the market - such as those currently engulfing the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. There are at least seven products that never fail dibesut Apple when Steve Jobs was still working there:
Apple III (1981)
Successor to the highly popular Apple II is focused on business users and of course the price is also adjusted. Unfortunately, the hardware is not reliable. Apple then unable to compete in the business market with the IBM PC was launched in the same year, and is also compatible PC market grew very rapidly.
Lisa (1983)
Produced the first commercial computer with a graphical user interface is marketed at a price of U.S. $ 9,995 when it launched. Once a cheaper Macintosh was launched a year later, Lisa loses enthusiasts.
NeXT Computer (1989)
This is the work of Steve Jobs, after being forced out of Apple. These computers are very sophisticated in his time. But just like the Apple III and Lisa, he was too expensive to be owned by mainstream users.
Puck Mouse (1998)
iMac is the first important product generated after Jobs returned to Apple in 1996 and achieved great success even though it uses a small, round mouse. Unfortunately, since too small, the user can not distinguish the orientation of the object when held and are not visible as it is covered by the palm of the hand. This makes the mouse difficult to use.
The Cube (2000)
This small desktop computer is covered by a plastic casing which is very beautiful. He won numerous awards from the design side, but failed in the marketplace because it was expensive. He also does not offer functional advantages compared with regular Macs. In terms of design, Apple products are legendary, unfortunately not many people who want to pay top dollar only for the design alone. However, the idea of The Cube followed by the Mac Mini. These products are more successful in the market though, from the design, nothing special.
iTunes Phone (2005)
Apple's iPhone is not the first mobile phone. In 2005, Apple works with Motorola Inc.. to launch the ROKR series. As a phone, the Motorola ROKR is quite good, but as a music player, he was left far behind compared to the iPod. He is only capable of storing 100 songs and the transfer songs from computer very slow. Apple is also criticized for not allowing users to download music over the cellular network, a limitation is also imposed on earlier generations of iPhone users.
Apple TV (2007)
Apple's effort to be present in the family room done half-heartedly, unlike Apple's efforts in general. Jobs himself recently said that Apple TV is just a hobby. This product is a small box that connects to the TV and the Mac at home. A small remote lets users play music and movies from your Mac to your TV. In addition to expensive, it is difficult to install and use. Movies purchased through iTunes too low resolution and looks blurry on an HDTV. In 2010 Apple introduced the Apple TV is cheaper, better, and is designed to connect directly to the Internet.
