Android and Apple: Smartphones Require Smart Strategy

One word to counter claim of expected Android market takeover:

Linux

Google to Turn Times Square into a Giant Voice Search Experiment on Friday

Would like to see Apple approve Google Voice (someday?)

Bing Trying to Get Exclusive on Fox? Smart

Dumb if M$ does this. As WSJ is subscription based, most people won't care if they can not search this rag. Plus, what will advertisers think?

PS: Didn't work for MySpace.

Can Apple Stop the Android?

Couple of probable bumps in the road to keep an eye on:

1. Multi-tasking: There has been a lot of hype about multi-tasking with Android. Verizon's CDMA network does not allow simultaneous Voice and Data - so multi-tasking is in the toilet. Pundits state that the iPhone doesn't multi-task but why can I talk on the phone, get email, surf the web, play multi-player games, use Maps, etc - all simultaneously. So to me, the iPhone clearly trumps Verizon's Android in this area.

2. Verizon's CDMA network has yet to be tested with a high bandwidth hog like the Android. ATT's network has suffered partly due to the fact that iPhone users actually use their device (while Verizon's devices have been crippled to death to reduce data usage (as the Android is, as noted above). CDMA really has a problem when multiple devices are 'on the same tower' and expect to see cracks in the Verizon 'emperor with no clothes' network!

Droid: Poster Child for Latest Smartphones

The real question will be how Verizon's fable network will hold up if they get the same traffic that ATT has with the iPhone.

One big Verizon negative is that it's old (soon to be replaced with LTE) CDMA network can not handle simultaneous Voice and Data (like ATT/iPhone can).

(so much for the multi-tasking benefit - iPhone trumps Droid here)

Bing Nears 10% of Search: Google Unaffected

"The newspapers, would need to work together, "

Isn't that anti-trust?

Android: Handset Makers Are at Google's Mercy

Why be excited about CDMA when it doesn't allow simultaneous Voice and Data.

Android multi-tasking is hobbled with CDMA.

Even the iPhone (GSM) allows one to check email, browse the web and use a multitude of other programs while on the phone.

Will Wall Street Buy Tim Armstrong's Plans for AOL?

Is AOL still in business?

Maybe the Droid Launch Wasn't So Bad After All

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

Facebook, YouTube and Twitter Facing Uphill Battle in China

Couldn't China see where encrypted traffic is going, then do a search of the respective residence? Sort of like the movie: The Fifth Element.

Blackberry’s 26 Advantages over iPhone

Many of the 25 points are nit picking and none address the slick iPhone interface, App-store advantage and overall experience of using an iPhone vs. any other device.

The Only Person Who Can Prevent the FTC's Google / Apple Colonoscopy

That is a ridiculous amount of money. I would do it for a mere $100,000

Bing's Paid Clicks Up 8% - Has Microsoft Cracked the Search Nut?

Bing's Cash Back is nice. I search for stuff on Google and then check Bing to see if they have a cash back deal for the item.

My take: if they did hit 8%, it cost them a lot!

Ballmer's Not-So-Idle Threat to Yahoo: Do You Feel Lucky?

Maybe Gran Torino is a better choice.

The question is who is playing Mr. Kowalski, Bartz or Ballmer!
