It's always about mindshare, not market share.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people might just as well buy a share of the whole market, which pools all the information, than delude themselves into thinking they know something the market doesn't.
I think right now it's a battle for the mindshare of developers and for the mindshare of customers, and right now iPhone and Android are winning that battle.
When you start losing market share, it's really tough to gain it back; you need the product portfolio and presence in many markets.
The way companies hang on to their marketshare is by being scared.
It's no longer the older paradigm of, 'I want to own this market, and no one else can own this market because I own this market.' The Internet has made the market limitless.
I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.
People think about their business instead of their products.
We're obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself.
When companies minimize their costs, they can spend more on R & D and marketing. It's just very logical.
When you improve your product so it does the customer's job better, then you gain market share.
