Why it would be good if Apple make an iCar | Wouj Webmaster Site
While we have had electric cars for many years, they have yet to have that kick start to make them sell in huge numbers.
This is often due to two main problems.
- Cost of the car. The main factor is the battery (cost, weight, size, storage capacity).
- Charging. Being able to charge the car.
While PDA’s (personal digital assistant) had been around for many years, (I had a few including the Psion) it was Apple who re-launched the PDA as the iPhone. The iPhone started the smartphone trend. Though what Apple did that was clever was to have the phone apps. While the early machines were great, they had a lack of software, and what software did exist was expensive. The phone apps meant software was free or very cheap. Also suddenly even girls were wanting them. When I was a kid no cool girl had any interest in computers, now its the cool girls who want them.
So this is why it could be huge that Apple are (I hope) doing an iCar, simply as they may find a way for it to work.
However one presumes that on just rumors Apple is looking at the iCar, it may also kick into action other car firms into developing new electric cars.
At the end of the day, no one wants to be Nokia. Nokia were huge until Apple gave us the iPhone. And Nokia simply as yet has never recovered.
