Tony Fadell is known as the father of the iPod, but like the iPod classic, his career in Appafter years she finished. Therefore, Fadell later founded his own company Nest, which took away something from philosophy Applu and even though she only produced two products, an intelligent thermostat and a smoke detector, there was a certain feeling about them Applu. However, the startup went under the wing of Google a year ago, and Tony did the same, who got an interesting job here. His job duty was to prevent the Google Glass project from ending. However, this duty was taken on by Tony himself, who convinced Google's management to give him power over the project, which reminded him of the days when the first iPod was being worked on and iPhone.
Fadell said in a new interview that he sees Google Glass as an important product, but warns that it will take a long time for the company to fine-tune it to the point where people really want it. This is exactly why the company stopped selling the original Glass model Explorer Edition, which retailed for $1500. Now it seems that the project is dead, but that is not true. Google, or Tony Fadell, is still working on the glasses, but now under the cloak of secrecy, almost like he used to do for Steve Jobs. At the same time, the father of the iPod gave his opinion on the failure of the first Google Glass and says that the low popularity of the original Glass is probably due to the fact that Google has more experience with software than with hardware: "Working with electrons, that is, with software, is much faster because you can work with them quickly, test them, modify and tune them. But when you work with atoms themselves, that is, with hardware, you have to have production lines and it takes time to create a product minialmost a year. Then you'll better understand what it is, what it wants to do and what it doesn't want to do. Customers have to pay for these atoms, and when they pay, they want something of value and they don't want to be disappointed.”
Fadell is also one of the most interesting owners Apple Watch and even if it is a competitive product, it can be seen that the company's products Apple they still interest him. He says he finished his watch about three weeks ago (ed. note. the original article was written earlier). He thinks so Apple he did a really amazing job with his watch, especially when it comes to componethings he managed to squeeze into such a tiny body. He also appreciates that Apple are trying to do different things with this platform, but they think that while some things will be amazing, others won't be very popular.
