Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

Today is an ENTIRELY different the scenario..... Kanji

What would that be? You ask...

2 Words... Wireless Broadband. DID NOT exist back then DUH.

Apps no longer need to be pressed, printed, boxed, warehoused, inventoried and or any other archaic form of software delivery of years gone past. Today is an entirley diffent playing field and Apple has the 2 star quarterbacks called iTunes and App store.

Please: Name any other online App store that has 85000 Apps and GROWING!

Some People You Just Can't reach.

Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

OH!! BTW..

Nokias Q3 Report was SPECTACULAR!!!!! and just ponder the FACT that Nokia is blaming the downside to GET THIS!!

Supply Chain Issues!!!! Yeah OK!

Keep ur head in the sand much longer Nokia and you will soon be swallowed up by the high tide coming in called Apple.

Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

On a side note to the mentioned mobile OSes in play here..

Yes: Palm develops the hardware and software for Pre.
Yes: RIMM develops the hardware and software for BB.
Yes: Apple develops the hardware and software for iPhone & iPod Touch. Right?

I always come to this same conclusion time and time again.....of ALL these companies name ONE that owns and has developed a Desktop (Laptop) OS that is certified UNIX which ALSO possesses a SDK that is seamless between the 3 spaces ie. Desktop, Laptop & Mobile handset?

and as far as price goes......in the netbook vs laptop sector... a Macbook can be had for under $700. You just need to know where to look. Apple too has a plan to be competitive in the netbook space.

Those who laughed @ Apple in the mobile phone space ie.

A refresher PEOPLE!!

Responding to questions from New York Times correspondent John Markoff at a Churchill Club breakfast gathering Thursday morning, Colligan laughed off the idea that any company -- including the wildly popular Apple Computer -- could easily win customers in the finicky smart-phone sector.

"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," he said. "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.'"


WELL!! what do have to say about AAPL entering in the netbook Space?

They will FAIL here TOO!!!! RIGHT NAYSAYERS. GMAFB.

AAPL $250 end of year 2010

Basically what I stated yesterday.. yet not so much as a rant.

Android WILL become a fractured MESS.

Have a grateful day. Apple @ $250 year end 2010

As far as Flash on iPhone debate its a No win 4 AAPL. Why?

1. They do not allow it right.... So people BITCH... I can run Flash on this or that..... or other than iPhone... WELL if SO.. GO !@#$%ing buy that handset and stop ur Whining!!! we don't need you.

2. IF AAPL we to allow Flash on iPhone??? Now you have those same BITCHERS & WHINERS saying THE BATTEY LIFE ON iPhone SUCKS!! & ON & ON!!!! THIS AND THAT....

See it is a no win.... SO...

Apple made the right move not to allow Flash on iPhone. Its a resource HOG in the mobile space and is unnecessary.

Better native Apps with the SDK can & will be developed that will make Flash on iPhone obsolete.

Now WHEN and IF there is an Apple Tablet that is a different story.

But mark my words people will BITCH & WHINE about the Apple tablet IF it every sees the light of day...

If you don't like it DON'T BUY iPHONE and go with Android. No loss to AAPL they are doin' Just Fine.. ;)

Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

Remote Control for iTunes library.

Does it exisit on Android...?....... or for that matter any Android remote for ANY music app on any platform that controls your music library...Does it exist and is it as easy to install and use....?

Yes it does... BUT take a good look and give me your feedback.. Does this look EASY to use and set up? Seriously.... Is there Cover flow for iTunes on Android....? I mean its a gimmick.... notice too... he's controling a Mac.. I would love to c it on Windows.

www.remotedroid.net/

Remote start for your car on Android......? it may happen down the road but the fact remains iPhone - iPod Touch user base is Big and getting Bigger every day.

Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

This android OS will NEVER become a seamless user experience... EVER... Why? Too many handsets from too many hardware manufactures. Too many BS options... too many options period that won't work well.... ie BLOATWARE.....All those who created t5he BLOAT will want to control. Android will morph into the most convoluted cluster !@#$ of a platform the mobile space will ever encounter. 10 x the PC MicroDog Fiasco We see today.

All u naysayers out there are the same who said the iPod 2001 would fail and the same naysayers who said that the iPhone 2007 would FAIL. After 2 Billion downloads and 85,000 Apps available I would LOVE to hear your arguments as to exactly HOW Android will create such a seamless user experience as Apple.

iJah420 over and out... AAPL long $250 by end of year 2010...

Just keep naysaying people, while I laugh all the way to the BANK!!!

Nokia Should Have Prevented Its Portal Problems

Just to be clear......

These sort of systems are hard to build. Perhaps Nokia should take a hint from Google and release everything as “beta” for a few years so that it can disclaim any responsibility for reliability or responsiveness.

Great point.......

And to add insult to injury... Apple (you know that tinker toy overpriced computer maker) after only 9 MONTHS reaches over 1BILLION!!!!! downloads with their App Store.

AAPL has yet to kick into overdrive......the next 3 months will be a joy to watch....

When Apple realeases an iPod with a camera and wi-fi standard its ALL Over Now Baby Blue. This stock will SOAR!!

Please keep in mind AAPL has NO DEBT!! and 30Billion in CASH!!

Palm -Pre????? the key pad and cheap feel will make this iPhone wannabe a flop.

Nokia Should Have Prevented Its Portal Problems

As I stated months ago with the idea of Nokia coming out with an App Store........

Good Luck with that Nokia... your going to need LOADS of it because you just ain't got what it takes.... Nokia is ANYTHING BUT a software company.

And to ponder such arrogant drivel coming out of the camp of Palm too.

Sarah Jane Tribble and Dean Takahashi, reporting for the San Jose Mercury News on Palm CEO Ed Colligan’s remarks two weeks ago regarding Apple’s prospects in the mobile phone market:

Responding to questions from New York Times correspondent John Markoff at a Churchill Club breakfast gathering Thursday morning, Colligan laughed off the idea that any company — including the wildly popular Apple Computer — could easily win customers in the finicky smart-phone sector.

“We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”

I saw this last week, and it took me until today to stop laughing and try to figure out a way to write about it. It’s a simple little three-sentence quote, but I’m not sure what I like best about it.

Is it the way he describes Apple as “PC guys”? As in like, These guys just make computers, they don’t understand the nuances of user interface and experience design, especially with regard, to, uh, handheld consumer electronics. Nope, no handheld consumer electronics expertise at Apple. By the way, let me show you how my Treo can play MP3s!

Again!!! FOR THE RECORD PEOPLE!!!! THE iPHONE IS NOT A PHONE!!!!!!! IT'S A COMPUTER!!!! GOOD GRIEF!!!

APPL LONG...

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

The Windows PC world is a fractured mess due to developers neglecting to adhere to any type of standards in windows.

Lets face it, it was good while it lasted and made lots o mulla grande for all who were willing to partake in DOS and the horrific UI that is still Windows to this day. Now, these die hard developers are whining and or praying that the next Windows 7 will be different. Sorry to break the news to you folks, Windows 7 is long in the tooth compared to Snow Leopard. In addition Apple is not standing still on Snow Leopards "REFINEMENTS" whilst MSFT is in crisis mode gearing up for Windows 7 release.. only to (mark my words) release some SP 0.7 for Windows 7 after 3 months on the market....

In my 25+ years in this field I knew this day would come. MSFT is NOT in a go way folks... I don't care how much $$$$$ they have.... Money ain't gonna fix Windows this time round...

UNIX+APPLE=A robust platform from desktop to laptop to hand held computer.

With iPhone 3.0 take a close look @ the API's that will be in the hands of 1000's of developers.... FYI when you develop for the iPhone you are developing for the desktop OS called Snow Leopard.... they are one in the same.

Some people you just can't reach...... Maybe If I told them I had free bananas to give to their Monkey Boy Leader they just may clue in.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

O'Kane....

Good point..... there is ALWAYS room for improvement.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

Just one more thing......

Will the Pre be able to used as a remote to access my Mac or PC?
Will I be able to get podcasts in a effortless way?
Will I be able to sync it with contacts on my mac or pc without a cloud account?

my gut tells me that the slide out keyboard is going to be a major pain in the ass when it comes to web access and data entry....

AND the Pre launch date??!!! I'm still scratching my head over that one... Late night crack smoking decision as far as I'm concerned.

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

This is the CEO of MicroDOZE saying APPLE has NO CHANCE...

NO CHANCE @ any significant market share!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder MSFT is in a world of hurt...... Bring more bananas to the Monkey Boy. I think he's hungry and has something else so profoundly idiotic to say......

Good GRIEF!!!!! VISTA 7 YEAH OK!! OOPS I meant to say Windoze 7....;)

Smartphones: The Mobile Industry Is About to Get 'Blown Apart'

I don't care how many charts, stats etc.. you put together there is 1 FACT that remains........

AAPL controls the hardware and software.....

To make my point clear...... RIMM may control the hardware and software on their hand held yet that OS is NOT based on a desktop level OS. None.... NONE of the others have a Desktop OS....WELL MSFT DOES!!!!! YEAH and look @ the hardware MSFT kicks out.......ZUNE? Come ON!.

AGAIN I SAY... NAME ONE (1) handset OEM that "OWNS" its own desktop OS that is UNIX certified.....that ALSO runs on their "Smartphone"

People the iPhone is not a Smartphone its A !#@$% COMPUTER!!!!!

Some people you JUST CAN NOT REACH!!! AAPL Long.

3.0 is just around the corner....

iPod2001..... iPhone 3.0 2009 = iPod2001 x 1000......

Naysayers I say History SPEAKS VOLUMES..

Ballmer: iPhone has 'no chance'
The iPhone has no hope of gaining a true foothold in the cellphone marketplace, according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The company head told an interviewer at the USA Today that, as with computers, future control of the mobile handset business would primarily depend on software influence rather than hardware. Apple's insistence on attaching its code to a premium device could prevent it from getting any more than a small percentage of the world's cellphone user base, Ballmer predicted.

"Would I trade 96% of the market for 4% of the market? I want to have products that appeal to everybody," he said. "We'll get a chance to go through this [Apple versus Microsoft debate] again in phones and music players. There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."

He also suggested that Apple might be creating too narrow a focus by stressing media playback on the iPhone instead of the possibilities of a general operating system such as Windows Mobile. The heavily-rumored Zune phone was again dismissed as impossible and against the company's mobile product philosophy.

"We wouldn't define our phone experience just by music. A phone is really a general purpose device," he summarized. "You want to make telephone calls, you want to get and receive messages, text, e-mail, whatever your preference is."

The iPod's success in the world of strictly entertainment-oriented handhelds was downplayed. Apple "got out early" with a good mix of media player hardware and software, according to Ballmer, but there was still an opportunity for the Zune line to have its own success. Its sales campaign would be "less edgy" and appeal to more buyers, he said. The remark appeared to ignore the company's existing campaigns, which have included Adult Swim and graffiti-themed limited runs of the player.

Microsoft currently holds a small but substantial portion of the cellphone OS business, which is currently dominated by variants on the open-source Symbian. The Zune's share has largely remained locked at roughly 9 percent of the US hard disk-based media player market since its introduction in November 2006.

Still No News on Palm Pre Release
