Steve Jobs interviewed at D8 conference by Walter Mossberg and Kara Swisher. And he answered most of the answers questioned by them like lost iPhone, Flash, Foxconn suicide’s, Google competition , iPad history and so on.Here are the few important points that they discussed with Jobs:
When asking on Flash
(We know Jobs hates to answer this every-time :P):
Jobs doesn’t think that by not put flash on iDevices is unfair to its customers ( we know its unfair, we give a damn what he thinks) Like he said earlier on Thought of Flash, here also he said that HTML5 is future and Flash is past……He thinks that Flash don’t make a great product !!! Even if our iDevices doesn’t have Flash but still people seem to be liking them…..He concluded the Flash topic by saying “We sell like three iPads a second…”
When asked about Lost iPhone question:
Jobs said that to make a wireless product work well to test it well. And on of our employees was carrying one of the upcoming iPhone prototype and there’s a debate about whether it was left in a bar or stolen….And the person who found it decided to sell it…and it turned out this person plugged it into his roommate’s computer and that roommate called the police.” and currently investigation is going on…..
What do you think about Foxconn suicides?
Job says: Apple is extraordinarily diligent and rigorous about vetting its manufacturing partners, Jobs answers. “Foxconn is not a sweatshop,” he adds. “They’ve got restaurants and swimming pools….For a factory, it’s a pretty nice factory.” Jobs notes that the recent suicides at Foxconn, which number 15 at last count, I think, are still below the national average in the U.S. “But this is very troubling to us,” he says. “So we send over our own people and some outside folks as well, to look into the issue.”
Taking out Google from iDevices:
On asking if Apple might remove Google from the iPhone and iPad. Jobs says no. Again, he notes that Apple is simply trying to make the best products it can and that the market will decide whose is better. “Right now, we have the better product.”
iPad History:
Jobs said that their primary focus was to build tablet computer before iPhone, I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on with your fingers. I asked our people about it. And six months later, they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He got scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, ‘my God, we can build a phone with this!’ So we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the iPhone.”
