Dell CEO: iPod as Fad, Businesses as Priority
Dell CEO Kevin Rollins dismisses Apple’s iPod as ‘just a fad’, soon to be as forgotten as Sony’s Walkman. He also dismisses Apple as ‘not in the same league as Dell’. Well, thank God for that.
Rollins, who seems to have inherited predecessor Michael Dell’s Reality Denial Field™ — itself a knock-off of Steve Jobs’ Reality Distortion Field™ — has some pretty strange ideas.
Everyone — including Dell — is imitating the iPod and iTunes. What Dell products is anyone imitating? None. I’m sure Dell shareholders are thrilled to hear the CEO dismiss such popular products.
Further, Rollins said Dell will continue to focus on businesses as its number one priority.
I have a good friend and neighbor who’s been trying for days to get her home Dell PC to work (and not finding their tech support to be much help). I’m sure she’ll be happy to hear that Dell’s focus is elsewhere.
