Wearable Technology and Apple



The wildly successful iPod Nano' square design was discontinued and a new design was called in. People were perplexed as to why didn't Apple pursue the square design where people found innovative ways to make it into a watch, locket, workout buddy and the list goes on.
Did Apple miss something or did they see something?



Wearable technology is on the rise and with Nike releasing its Fuel band, Jawbone  releasing its Up and Google's Glass Project, we do see the trend of devices becoming more than just for information consumption.



Apple never started anything new but instead improved on what was existing and stagnant. In this case, will Apple pioneer this or does it improve on something that's already existing?

That we'll have to wait and see.

Steven Sinofsky finds a job and starts a blog


"Learning by Shipping" is the name of the new blog by Sinofsky. He states...

The title comes from something impressed upon me early in my career, which is that learning as an engineer comes from the process of starting, then finishing, and iterating on products–getting products to market and putting the broad feedback loop to work.  The teams and processes used to create products are critically important and fun to talk about relative to shipping and learning as we search for the best approaches to use at a given time.

Similar jobs great speech on hybridization and intersection, Sinofsky believes innovation is at the intersection of technology and social science. He is going to try out blogging and see what effect its gonna bring about. Hope he can bring in his thoughts and perspectives on product development and the process of bringing new products to market from his vast experience.
