The Beggining of the Apple Era

Like a historian, I'm going to mark one beggining and one ending of eras. I think that in the past month, we've seen a phase change; saying goodbye to the Microsoft Era, and hello to the Apple Era; the transition has been made as their market cap met.

The last drop that made it happen was the iPad releasing event. No other tech product launch has made so much buzz since the release of Windows 95. Windows 95 had the best marketing of the 90's. The iPad and the iPhone had the best of marketing 2.0. A very successful advertising campaign for W95, a lot of blog posts for the iPad.

In the Microsoft era of desktop domain, no one was able to compete against Windows. Now, no company will be able to compete with Apple in the "Entertainment" sector. That includes PCs and tablet PCs. You can have another brand, but the iProducts will be better and more standard: it will sync with all your other media and you won't be able to do it with other stuff.
