Another example of obtuse marketing

Really cool speakers I didn't buy.

Really cool speakers I didn't buy.

I was in a Sam’s Club this afternoon, cruised through the electronics and noticed this really cool speaker set by HMDX Audio. The speakers were rechargeable and wireless. Wow, really cool. Except it said it worked for iPod.

Well, did that mean iPhone 3G also? I don’t know, but I had an iPhone and they had a web site. I fired up Safari, plugged in the web address and was stopped faster than a snowball against a brick wall. The entire site was in Flash.

I left the store without buying the speaker set. Too bad, it was really cool looking and was my impulse purchase for the week.. perhaps the month.

If you sell Apple anything, do not make your Web site using Flash. Honestly, don’t you know we all have iPhones? Except one person in Ohio who maybe bought a Sprint Instinct instead.

About Gerard McLean

Hello. This will almost always be a boring space. You can best learn about who I am by reading my blog posts more in depth. If you have a more burning desire to know more about me, you should first see a doctor. Or at least read my story. It will tell you all you need to know to make wild assumptions of me that are probably not true.
