Apple is getting a bad rap?

These are interesting days for Apple. Market capitalization is the highest of all time. IPads more than 2 million units sold in less than two months. His reputation as a technology innovator has never been stronger, and its products have never been so popular.

But this success came a game. Apple decisions about which

to get applications from the App Store continues to generate a stream of criticism. Adobe continues to lament the exclusion of Flash on iPhone

iPad.Google executives (no irony) if Apple wanted a Big Brother effect, as if in search of complete control on the market.

This sniping is just what comes naturally when you realize that the competitors in the dust? Or is it something that Apple needs to worry about?

Perception vs Facts
The other day I was with my iPad to a colleague, an averagely informed tech. He said he wanted to buy one, but could not because he needed to be able to read PDF files, andApple supports only its own format, the iPad would not work for him. I

assured him that the iPad can in fact read PDF files. Then he asked for the video,

Music and other files that had not bought from Apple. He confirmed that this could also play the iPad.

Seemingly satisfied with my answer, he ended up ordering one shortly after our conversation. But I can not help thinking that all the news about Apple's rejection of Flash applications and anything to do with his earlier hadreluctantly.

And I do not think he is unique in this.

Perception is not always based on reality. It is sometimes based on misunderstanding and misinformation.

For this reason, despite these facts, consumers could spread misconceptions about Apple? And if they do, they can be hazardous to the receipts of the company.

Apple Open the iPhone

It did not help Apple's image problem as the New York Times published an editorial in June suggests that Apple should investigate USgovernmentpolicy to see whether they violate antitrust laws. I'm not clear on how a company with a market share of smartphone third, second behind Research In Motion, can be considered a monopoly, but OK.

Macworld.com I recently suggested that perhaps it was time for Apple to find some way to install third party applications on the iPhone without using the App Store approval process, just to calm the critics and competitors.

In particular, I proposed thatApple adds new features, many menu items buried deep in the application settings that are located on Android mirrors an option to install applications from unknown sources. If a user tries to activate this option, it would be scary warning about how sources of images as it could not be trusted, and that these applications can cause instability, crashes, data loss, and other causes alarming things. Some regular users would never use such an approach. But there is, and it would switch to Appleup. To say that I have received many comments on this story would be an understatement. Many people have welcomed my idea, many suggested that a terrible idea because it would be uncomfortable and unstable ions.
