The recipe for Android’s success: be cheaper
A recent survey put it as clearly as one can: the Android user base wants cheaper, not necessarily better, products to compete agains Apple. You can see the graph at this article. The quick recap though sheds a lot of light on the topic that many developers have been asking for a while now. Top of the list as mentioned is cheap. These have to be cheap to entice users to buy. Cheaper than the iPhone, cheaper than the iPad, cheaper, cheaper, cheaper. Next in line was minimized fragmentation. For developers this is a big annoyance; especially developers who
Why we won’t be using a computer soon enough
Not too long ago we mentioned here the projected tablet sales; nearly 71 million to hit the streets by the end of 2012. While surfing the web on a tablet is much easier than you iPhone or Android in terms of physical space, many, many more folks actually have smartphones. The newest stat has the world hitting 850 million smartphones by 2015. That is a staggering number that has nearly 1 in 8 people on planet earth holding a smartphone within 4 years. If that is the case, why would anyone need a computer? As it stands now urban
Steve Jobs taking medical leave
Announcements today of Jobs’ medical leave of absence are everywhere. Cook will once again take over for Steve while he is gone. There is no argument that Jobs has been at the helm through an incredible growth period of Apple. With a slew of new things on the horizon, deal with Verizon, iPad 2, iPhone 5, etc, it will be an interesting time to see if the momentum will keep up in his absence. It is unlikely that it won’t. With the tablet wars fully in progress and Android taking off more by the day, 2011 will almost certainly
Apple TV hits 1 million mark
Seems as though 2011 will no doubt be a year of tremendous technological growth. As mentioned before, the tablet market is on fire, Apple can’t sell enough iPhones, and the Android market is continuing their amazing growth across multiple carriers. What’s left? The merger of internet and TV. Apple has had a hat in the ring here for a while and we are now seeing the first signs that it is officially in motion. This holiday season Apple’s Apple TV sales crested a million units. This is significant in what it says about how people are using their devices.
Netfilx delays release of its Android app
Due to security concerns and fragmentation of the market, Netflix has opted to postpone the release of its Android app until next year. This fear is something discussed here in prior posts as well; reliability of a marketplace with the current hurdles in place for Android. While stats are changing constantly, currently 22.9% of the Android phones don’t have a 2x OS on the phone. Past that, the remaining phones are split roughly evenly between 2.1 and 2.2; slanting by about 4% towards the 2.1. From a development point of view this can be frustrating. To quote them directly:
Amazon in the mobile game
While this is not exactly “new” news, it is great news for the mobile marketplace. Retail gigantor Amazon is throwing its hat in the ring by announcing its Android marketplace. This will clearly be huge for the marketplace. Apple is doing a great job of creating a marketplace there is no doubt of that fact. However, a move like this could give them a run for their money. While this is bad for competitors, it is fantastic for consumers. While details on the storefront remain scant, it is likely to follow similar models of revenue share for developers. Good
New RIM tablet
RIM gave a demo today of their newest attempt to stay relevant in the space; the PlayBook Tablet. Take a look here: This is their soon-to-be tablet that will feature a new operating system that they have not released before. Oddly enough, they actually bought a company who makes another OS all together called QNX. To us, releasing a tablet, late, in a market where you have just watched your competition speed past you like a Road Runner cartoon, then to feature an OS not your own signals major trouble. While I completely understand their need to replace the
