Apple CEO Steve Jobs is “delivering on the digital dream”, according to Forrester Research CEO George Colony.
The history of the technology industry reflects the fortunes of two men: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and Colony is impressed at the fortunes and success of Jobs, who he calls “The Digitizer”.
He looks at Jobs’ past: being kicked out of Apple in the late 1980s and NeXT’s failure to establish powerful marketshare – after this he saw that “Jobs was a non-factor, a has-been from the bygone years of homebrew whimsicality, stuck in an era of corporate, enterprise-focused technology,” Colony writes.
