Motorola’s Zander has harsh words for nano
Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola, was annoyed that the iPod nano stole the spotlight of the event when the ROKR phone came out.
“Screw the nano. What the hell does the nano do? Who listens to 1,000 songs?” Zander said. People are going to want devices that do more than just play music, something that can be seen in many other countries with more advanced mobile phone networks and savvy users, he said.
Here’s the thing, Mr. Zander. In my opinion, Apple doesn’t like their products released ahead of schedule. The ROKR was pre-determined and leaked at multiple events. By the time it was to be released, it was old news. Hammering on a partner’s product lines is not really going to get you anywhere with that partner. Next time, release when the product is due, fire those that leak the images and make sure you follow suit with someone that does do their marketing piece especially well. You might learn from that, since your PR folks still don’t have what Apple does.
