#2This hardly captures Apple's strategy. It appears to offer an insight into one step in their strategic thinking for one issue, but the title of the post is quite misleading.

I agree. If it tried to tell that apple reacted with panic to the cross platform nature of kindle - I dont think so.

I'm pretty sure you missed the point of the article.
The focus was mentioned in the email from Schiller to Jobs:
> ... secondary message [of the ad] that can’t be missed is that it is easy to switch from iPhone to Android.

The entirety of their strategy no, but this goes beyond just the kindle issue raised. Vendor lock in is a huge chunk of Apple's strategy.

This absolutely captures their strategy. They are clearly building a walled garden for their own benefit, while selling it as the user's benefit. I can't imagine users complaining about having the option to switch to android.

#8Out of curiosity, why did he think Apple had far superior payment system? I personally think Apple's payment gateways no better than Amazon Checkout or Google Checkout experience.

I disagree.
Facebook, Google, Microsoft have a walled garden, in-fact every company on earth thinks on how to keep customers from leaving.
The difference between Apple and others is that Apple products are far superior, i can't imagine myself using any Microsoft product if Apple provides it.

Haven't looked back.
