[And that's just the obvious stuff. The click wheel on the front had to be reinvented to fit the Nano's ridiculously slim 6.9-mm profile. Ditto the battery and chips.] We use every fraction of a millimeter of space to get things in there, ... It's like a puzzle to fit all that stuff together. It has the tightest tolerances of anything we've ever made in the history of this company. |
And I think we all have a story inside we want to tell and here's a chance to finally be able to do it. |
Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors. |
I think there are a lot of PCs that should be recycled. |
If there are people who love our hardware but are forced to put up with a Windows world, then that's OK. |
It is not a design issue, |
Most of them will switch and find they never need to run Windows. |
People for the first time are getting an Apple product with the iPod and seeing how great it is and are thinking about checking out our computers too. |
This is a real but minor issue involving a vendor quality problem in a small number of units. In fact, this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 per cent of the total iPod nano units that we've shipped. It is not a design issue. |
We always like to have more customers and we haven't stopped working hard to gain more. We are very proud that, over the last three quarters, our business has been growing twice as fast as the rest of the industry. |
We chose not to take part in the Intel Inside campaign. |
We felt there were some people who wanted to switch to a Mac, but they needed some critical application that wasn't available on the Mac. Then there are others who feel they need the safety net of Windows. |
We have flexibility to do many things. |
We have received very few calls from customers reporting this problem - we do not think this is a widespread issue, ... If customers are concerned about scratching we suggest they use one of the many iPod nano cases to protect their iPod. |
