What will apple come up with next? Apple is known for making products bigger and better than the rest of its competitors. Apple doesn’t create the category for products. Apple enters into the categories that already exist, analyzes the competition, digs deep into research and development, and comes up with products that dominate the competition. Apple does such an outstanding job at this, you would think apple created the market in the first place. This approach isn’t anything new; companies have been doing it since there has been competition. This type of approach only requires commitment to push the boundaries of what’s possible and not release a product until it offers the best features and cutting edge technology to make people switch from the competitors. For example:

When people think of mp3 player the first thing that comes to mind is the ipod. If you want music on the go, you buy the ipod. Its superiority is second to none. The iphone has redefined the phone, with over 100000 apps and 100,000,000 in sixty days; this pushes the boundaries of what is possible on a phone. People’s iphones will soon be a tool for ever aspect of peoples live from checking emails, to twitter updates. People wont be doing much without checking with there phone first.

Apple enthusiasts have been watching the company and are aware that apple is planning on releasing a tablet computer. When the tablet is officially announced, and is a big success, what comes next? This tablet has already been delayed for years already. The next big thing from apple could take years to develop.

What is in store for the apple enthusiast in the future? Maybe some sort of e-reader? Amazon has released the kindle. Amazon has proven that e-readers aren’t some lame pieces of junk. And in October Barnes and Noble released the nook, an e-reader, which provides two screens, one screen for reading and the other for navigation. It’s hard to believe apple wouldn’t try to enter this market. Even with the apple tablet soon to be released in early 2010; apple won’t base the tablet around e-reader functionality.

How far does apples’ vision of the future extend? What about something called ivision. What would you say about having iphone apps only millimeters from your eyes? The concept of the Ivision puts all augmented reality apps to a sleek pair of glasses. Each lens will have a built in hud, so you will be able to view the output of your apps directly on you glasses. The ivision could have features such as Bluetooth, advanced wireless capabilities, gps, caller id, music, and even track data on a heads up display. No need to hold the iphone. Apple has most of the area of tech covered with the iphone and computing products. Having iphone apps built into an Oakley style glasses would officially bring them into the fashion arena.

We can only speculate what apple has in store for us enthusiast. Apple is second to none when it comes to gadget supremacy. Whatever apple comes up with next, rest assure they will not let us down.
