Comments on: Steve Jobs: MobileMe launch was a “mistake” and not “up to Apple’s standards” http://www.applegazette.com/steve-jobs/steve-jobs-mobileme-launch-was-a-mistake-and-not-up-to-apples-standards/ Apple Gazette - An Apple Blog Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:36:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ron Skulas http://www.applegazette.com/steve-jobs/steve-jobs-mobileme-launch-was-a-mistake-and-not-up-to-apples-standards/comment-page-1/#comment-84291 Ron Skulas Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:53:37 +0000 http://www.applegazette.com/?p=3880#comment-84291 No duh Steve. Apple launches a restructuring of its e-mail and launches "iPhone, The Next Generation," at the same time. From the people I have spoken to out in the real world who deal with Apple hierarchy, it is just another example of the "gee-whiz kids" having no concept of the real world needs that the grunts at Apple have to deal with in these types of scenarios. Try this from now on: under promise and over deliver. It will make more friends and customers than doing it the other way around. No duh Steve.

Even if that isn't done "officially" I think they are fully aware that things like this will get out. @Phil

I agree that’s certainly a possibility. Even if that isn’t done “officially” I think they are fully aware that things like this will get out.
