(Web Design in Cambodia, Digital Marketing Agency, restartbox.com)- PC manufacturer Dell and smartphone maker BlackBerry have recently played down potential threat posed by IBM teaming up with Apple to sell iPhones and iPads loaded with corporate applications.
Dell’s executive John Swainson said: “I do not think that we take the Apple-IBM tie-up terribly seriously. I think it just made a good press release.”
“I have some trouble understanding how IBM reps are going to really help Apple very much in terms of introducing devices into their accounts. I mean candidly, they weren’t very good at doing it when it was IBM-logoed products, so I do not get how introducing Apple-logoed stuff is going to be much better.”
And BlackBerry CEO John Chen who compared the deal to when ‘two elephants start dancing’ added: “The IBM-Apple tie-up validates what is a huge market. [But] the bad news is that you are waking up two giants. It’s competition but it’s good competition and we are going to be more nimble. You don’t want to be a strong guy in a market that is not growing.”
