According to Mickalowski, Mickelson, and Keltgen (2008), “Apple
parlayed the strong reputation of the Apple brand and the iPod’s
success to enter a lucrative cell phone market” (p. 283).
BLOCKHowever, there are differing opinions about Apple’s iPhone launch:
Apple parlayed the strong reputation of the Apple brand and
the iPod’s success to enter a lucrative cell phone market, a step
that may ward off a potential threat to Apple as other companies
introduce devices that have strong music-storing and playback
capabilities. (Mickalowski, Mickelson, & Keltgen, 2008, pp.
283-284)
