Letter #1
Dear Steve Jobs,

It has come to my attention that you recently came with a series of new products, starting with the iPhone, iMacs and now the new iPods.

As someone who is very much interested in strategic management and visionary leaders such as you, I am very much intrigued at how you manage to strategically plan every aspect of the organization growth ten or more steps ahead, leaving your rivals licking up their wounds just by trying to kiss your ass never mind gaining the upper hand.

You started with the iPod.
Because of that, people started using iTunes and visit your apple site frequently.

You launched the MacBook and MacBook Pros.

With the mobility of MacBooks, these white/black shiny MacBooks are brought out and gets people drooling all over it. Of course, i once drooled. 

You launched the iPhone and integrated the iPod in it to and retained previous iPod users
People complained about not being able to install non-apple softwares in the iPhone which of course was something you were fully aware of.

You then launched the Safari for windows at the same time.
Everyone needs an internet browser.
Now that everyone has Safari, they can use Safari to create new programs for the iPhone

You then changed your website interface and made it similar to the interface in iPhone which is also similar to Safari. Now everyone gets a taste of a Mac.

Now that every has their eyes on Apple.
You came out with new iMacs.

With the iPhone sales high up on the charts.
You came out with new ipods very much similar to the iPhone

All this came out when everyone was merely focusing on the iPhone and Mac OS Leopard which is due in October.

Whatever is next, I just can't wait.

After all, Apple created the mouse.

I wonder what is Mr. Gates doing. Zune with Vista in it? 

a Mac Fan,
Aaron.

Hi steve,
Do you have trouble making decisions or are you just being plan impulsive?
Dude, make up your mind! I know this may be some marketing strategy...but dude...make up ur friggin mind!!

I got one of you macbooks not too long ago..and now you're selling them at a cheaper price with better specifications.

I got one of your ipods not too long ago, although i wasn't crazy with the 2nd generation ones, but these 3rd gens play videos and even with touch screen features.

What the heck is wrong with you?

and please, do not increase too much of the mac population.. why?

SIMPLE:
as Mac population increases, more people will hop on the Mac wagon..
as Mac wagon increases, profitability from Mac businesses increases..
as Profitability increases, people start making viruses to sell anti-virus softwares.
as result and most importantly, ME! I! have to live in fear and purchase anti-virus softwares.

(But then again, as the cost of maintaining a Mac increases, MAC population might go down...hmm..)

Anyways, please stop coming up with new products until i save some cash to get one of these new toys..please??

oh how i hate you at times.

Aaron
