The tech world was shaken up last week with the announcement of Steve Jobs’ resignation as CEO of Apple, Inc.
Former COO Tim Cook replaced Jobs as the new company CEO with big shoes to fill.
With the debut of the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 around the corner, all eyes are on the iJuggernaut, as well as Cook.
Usually, when a company acquires a new CEO, changes are right around the corner — almost to prove him or herself worthy of the new title.
However, Cook claims “Apple is not going to change” under his leadership.
For Apple fans, that’s fantastic news. As the old saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix partners.”
Many of the other aforementioned company’s CEOs and press officials said similar things.
Google’s acquisition is not only good for the mobile phone market, but also could help make a big push in the tablet market, as well.
While many Android tablets have been released since the launch of the original iPad, most of them have, well, sucked.
One of the best — and, again, most advertised — Android- powered tablets recently released was the Motorola Xoom.
While technically more powerful and boasting better features than the iPad,the Xoom or any other tablet hasn’t been able to come close to Apple’s monstrous sales.
It’s obvious Google has thrown its money behind Motorola in the past with its Android-powered phones and tablets. Now the two companies are one.
Whether it’s enough to bring down Apple and its new leader Tim Cook is hard to say right now.
Big changes are coming. No matter what side you choose, we’re going to be in for a wild ride.
