The Hardware Gets All the Glory


So it goes with most ecosystems. It's fine for consumers to focus their attention on the hardware, but if you're developing an ecosystem you can't indulge that bias. This is the mistake we see clients make when they say they want the iPod/iPhone of their industry - they forget that it's the ecosystem that makes them a success, the hardware is just the hook. You must pay attention to every detail, no matter how invisible or dull it may be to the end consumer. Only when all those details are taken care of (and believe me Apple sweats those details more than just about anyone else) will the ecosystem really sing.
