Another company who may be feeling regret with regards to Kinect is Apple. You know, the company in Cupertino that seems to be churning out great-selling products left and right.
Leander Kahney from Cult of Mac is reporting that he had a demo of the motion-sensing technology back when PrimeSense was first demoing it and Apple was their first choice. Unfortunately for Apple, as the story goes, “Apple is a pain in the ass” said the man (PrimeSense CEO, Inon Beracha) demoing the technology. Apple apparently, “…had already asked Beracha (PrimeSense) to sign a stack of crippling legal agreements and NDAs.
Years later, Microsoft has the most exciting new technology in their hands and if early reviews are to be believed, this thing is a hit. PCWorld notes that Microsoft expects to move at least 5 million units by the end of this quarter.
As for me, I’ll learn from this mistake and preorder next time. I’ve had a chance to play with the device multiple times already, but I am interested in what other users think, so let us know what your experiences have been like in the comments below.
