What do you think of Steven Sinosky running the ship? He turned the company around in some way with Windows 7. I am rooting for him this time round.

Bingo! There we go to the cruz of the discussion!

Maybe i am missing something, but I have no idea why Amazon does not target this segment (people who need to carry laptops). That seems like a far larger segment than people who sit by the pool the whole day

And i am envious - you can skip the laptop these days. ;) I wish i can do that

Here is a concise way of understanding the segment for whom Kindle is awesome:

I have a laptop, and that is essential for work. Ipad is great for so many ways, but it adds a noticeable weight to my bag, and overlaps with my laptop/phone in too many ways.

A kindle slots in nicely, and fills the only real need i have outside of laptop/phone, ie deep reading.

Interestingly, I agree with everything you are saying, but my personal experience differs. I find the ipad reading experience superior, but I got a lot more reading done on the Kindle.

This is mainly due to the lack of distractions, the ability to carry it anywhere and the fact that it just seems so much more durable compared to the ipad.

But i had e kindle for a while already - if i bought the ipad before the kindle, it would be a very very hard sell to convince me i need a kindle

If they get the connect UI on this, it could be a winner. Is a Win7 optimization coming again anytime soon?

1/2 true, because if they were buying a kindle, it is very likely that amazon was already their main source

Re: Product Managers in Startups: What’s their Role?

mingyeow — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:22:03 -0000

that is the REALLY tricky thing right? i am the PM for my startup, but many times, the amount of satisfaction i get from writing a piece of code far exceeds the amount of satisfaction i get from writing a spec. the former is tangible, the latter is fuzzy. But getting the product insights right is so crucial, far more so than getting a piece of code written.

Hi Dave, Ming from MrTweet here. You were always an inspiration to me in a professional and visionary sense, and now your perspective on family and life has moved me too. I would hate to have any regrets when my parents pass (as they will eventually), and your generous sharing is the best reminder i can get. Thanks again, M
