Adam Engst’s short interview with Steve Chiotakis of KCRW (Southern California’s leading NPR affiliate) did a nice job of explaining some of Apple’s initial attraction, what was astonishing about the iPhone and iPad, why Apple is being confronted with more competition now, and what challenges the company faces going forward.

Our staff roundtable looking at why people still support Apple after all these years got some attention from the New Republic, where Lydia DePillis used it to bookend her article “Apple Agonistes: What happens to Mac fanatics when the brand bums them out?” She talked to a lot of the right people, and the article catches some of the tensions currently being felt in the Apple community.

Adam and Tonya Engst appear as guests on TidBITS editor Glenn Fleishman's new podcast, The New Disruptors, which covers ways that creative people reach audiences. While the show is about "new" technological tools, Glenn is also interviewing people who have reinvented their work and their approach over a career.
