Out of the big boys, i guess Google. Yes the aim is to make money, but lets keep it real MS have been getting beat to the punch a lot with their products.... and the solutions they do find dont appear to be overly popular though im willing to see stats that prove otherwise
Google is the correct answer.....But its not about getting beat to the punch, it about being able to make money off your products...and Microsoft management's failed miserably at that..
Microsoft was in the tablet game in 2001 but they marketed it wrong and chose to make it a replacement for your laptop, which in turn made it cost to much...I still remember the conference where B.G. said that tablets got next....But for some reason, Microsoft didn't keep pushing the product like they should have and eventually it got thrown in the bushes....
5 years later Jobs makes a consumer friendly tablet focused on streaming, games, music and boom.....shyt took off like wildfire....
Its not about the tech, its about making the tech palatable to the masses....Its genius tech sitting on the shelf simply because companies don't know how to monetize it...
Hell, Microsoft even had an e-reader in 1998, but Billy Bad ass Gates put it back on the shelf because he didn't know how to make money off of it, and two, the e-reader's OS didn't look enough like windows.....
Now, for all the hate it gets, the Kinect is actually somewhat innovative.
