  10. Summarize the capabilities of an iPhone. The iPhone is similar to your average smart mobile phone but as well very dissimilar. It can make and receive phone calls and voice mail, send text messages, receive and create e-mails and etc. Capabilities of an iPhone: ·         It is the only multi touch phone. ·         Can surf the web practically anywhere. ·         An iPhone and an iPod simultaneously. ·         Play your favorite tunes while surfing the web or reading an e-mail. ·          YouTube on the go. ·         Access your iTunes at your leisure. ·         Download and play any game you can possibly think of. ·         Keep track of your stocks at any time. ·         Google Maps and driving directions make finding places and adding to your contact lists a snap. ·         Built-in Wi-Fi (Zoom zoom Zoom!

  11. Explain how devices like this enable the merger of personal and professional lives. Enabling a merger of personal and professional lives: ·How can this phone not merge your personal and professional life?   It does!!! ·For any business person this phone is ideal in the sense that you have everything on the go, literally everything. With Mobile Me you can practically sync everything on your phone to your computer and from your computer to your phone on the go. The iPhone allows you to access any e-mail account that you would like making it simple to keep your work and personal e-mails separate.

  12. Describe how you think this might be important to particular customers for your company How vital is this to our clientele? ·It is in every way to each one of our clients due to the conveniences this product brings. ·Each client was and still is very much the driving force why the iPhone was ever thought of and created.  ·Ultimately this product was created to benefit every different person: doctors, dance instructors, truck drivers, academic students, athletes and etc. ·In our society today convenience is one the many obsessions if not the most imperative one.

  13. Summarize what you consider to be the top three characteristics of Web 2.0 Three most influential Web 2.0 characteristics: 1.Social Networking ·Zillow.com is a great example. With Zillow.com different people can discuss their views and provide facts about specific areas and cities. ·MySpace ·Face book ·Twitter 2.Software as a service ·Google does an extraordinary job with this by having such programs like Google docs & Spreadsheets. Individuals can use Google Earth and access Google Maps, and process Gmail 3.Viral Marketing ·Such specific type of marketing is illustrious for vendors due to the fact that it costs nothing. Vendors simply release new features about their product or programs and simply wait for users to spread the news to one another (Blogs).

  15. Consider the combo of iPhone like devices and Web 2.0.  Now identify and describe five innovative applications of these technologies. Top 5 most innovative Web 2.0 (A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them) 1. Mygetgo 2. FilesTube 3. BlinkGeo 4. Skillr 5. Mindomo Top 5 most innovative iPhone applications (found on http://www.brighthub.com/mobile /iphone/articles/3000.aspx?p=2) 1.  Best iPhone Streaming Music Application - PANDORA 2. Most Innovative iPhone Music Application - Shazam 3. Best iPhone Internet / Mobile Search Application - APPLE 4. Best iPhone Location Based Software - OmniFocus 5.   Best Social Network App For iPhone Users - Facebook

  16. Explain how your applications generate competitive advantages. Our company of choice is the Apple Company. Using the competitive advantages for Apple we found… • Locks in Customers and Buyers      Since the fall of the Apple Company in early 90's, Apple has been     able to reinvent itself in their products. They were able to "lock     in" consumers by offering reliability in their operating systems.       As inventors to the iPhone, Apple has been able to appeal a wide     range of consumers.   Example:  Students, Professionals, & hobbyist.

  17. Explain how your applications generate competitive advantages. •Raise barriers to market entry: –Apple's iPhone has strategically been able to be sold by one carrier.     This exclusivity has immobilized their competition.   •Establish Alliances: –Apple was able to strengthen its competitive advantage by pairing up    with Intel.  Intel was then able to manufacture CPUs therefore giving    the ability run Windows OS on their machine.   •Reduce Costs: –In the outcome of the alliance,  Apple was able to lower the computer     market significantly.  This drives the cost of an Apple to be more     affordable while not comprising quality.

  19. Explain how you can use the knowledge you have gained in this exercise in a job interview with Apple.       This excercise has taught us a lot about Apple as a company and its product offerings.  When going in for an interview it is recommended that you research a company so that the interviewer knows you are knowledgable and interested in the company.       Now we are prepared to answer questions about Apple and ultimately this newfound knowledge would put us ahead of our competition for a job within Apple. 

  20. Explain how you can use the knowledge you have gained in this exercise in a job interview with another company.     Through this excersice we have learned the general responsibilities of a CTO (and its dept) and therefore be prepared to answers questions intelligently on the position within any company.      Futhermore, if we are interviewing with a competitor of Apple it would behoove us to understand about Apple products and its organization so that we can aid Company X in obtaining a competitive advantage.
