Android continues to own Apple - Now half a million activations a day

But not the same platform. Win 3.11 isn't the same platform than Win 7. They are totally different product. All they have in common is the name.

Apple doesn't separate their hardware from their software. This isn't the case for microsoft.

Like I said, at this point you are going for the last word instead of trying to educate yourself.

Quite juvenile really.

 

Uhh, those are valid reasons that make sense for the US Military, which usually has its own hardware for things, but it doesn't really make sense for corporate deployments in the private sector. What company is going to invest the time to make its own phone hardware rather than buy a product already on the shelves?

 

So all I have to do to sell a product to the US is bid lower? They dont care if my products doesnt meet their standards?

Have you been reading the thread? That will answer your question.

Yes, you are wise and special. We get it.

 

It seemed to really (*)(*)(*)(*) off the Apple people at the time. I was fully expecting the transition to the "Who cares anyway" attitude though. Nothing is important or useful until Apple embraces it.

I hear Apple will be adding widgets into iOS...I cant wait to see the flip flopping when that happens. Widgets will go from "pointless battery wasters" to "Vital and new!" overnight.

 

I can't really see a large corporation choosing to develop its own phones in-house. I don't think Exxon, for example, would even consider doing such a thing. Ever. The costs of a company doing their own hardware development far, far exceeds the costs of buying something off the shelf. The Military does it because they have the kind of budget for that, and they often have unusual demand and requirements not found in the private sector.

They're pointless battery wasters now, and they always will be pointless battery wasters. My opinion on this hasn't changed from three months of using an android phone. In fact, I think it's been confirmed all the more with the 12-15 hour standby time on the Thunderbolt.

 

Who says they would have to? What is stopping them from adapting an Android phone to be more secure?

...until Apple adopts them into iOS. Then they will become revolutionary overnight.

In any event, no one is forcing you to use widgets on your phone. Thats what "options" means. You have the "option" to use or not use widgets.

 

Ah yes... In other word you're just a little cry baby who really just want to be in by sticking it to the man dude!

Don't worry, this silly rebel phase will pass as you mature in a couple of years.

But in the mean time, how about this: You don't like Apple... then don't buy any of their product. Case close. Anything else is just your opinion and you know what they say about opinion... Just like (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), everybody has one and they all stink.

 

So long as their closed system fails as an industry model, I think Apple's success as a company is awesome. And I would not rule out buying one of their products.

Except yours right? LOL

 

I strongly disagree. Battery life on smartphones is bad enough without running applications in the background that aren't regularly killed. If there ever are good widgets on a phone, they wouldn't be active until they're viewed.

 

The US Military isn't just proposing rolling out its own version of Android, they're wanting to make their own hardware too. The problem with iOS for them wasn't the security, it was the lack of control over hardware.

 

Thats a problem for a lot of people. If you want a larger screen or a hardware keyboard, you are SOL with iOS.

 

It's not a problem for corporations. There's not a single corporation in the United States that develops its own phone for internal use only. Some people may have a personal preference for a hardware keyboard, but no corporation gives a crap about that when making decisions about what phones to issue to employees.

 

Nope... Unlike you I know what my opinions are worth...

And don't forget to tell us when google start making money out of android...

 

Then you buy a different product.. end of story.

 

Yeah, thats what I said. You are SOL if you want iOS. You will have to just buy another product. That isnt true of Android.

Google is not exactly hurting for money.

 

They're just not making money on Android. They're covering the cost of Android, which has not been profitable for them, with their profits from their search & advertising business.

 

Um yeah...they make money from advertising. Lots of Apps use the advertising model on the Android platform.

Do I need to connect the dots?

 

No, but Android is.

 

And they make money from adds on PC's and oh yea, apple products also. If android would disappear tomorrow it would be a net benefice for Google instead of a loss.

 

Yeah, that must be why Google just dropped 900 million on patents. Because they are hurting for cash so much.

 

LOL, why would fewer people viewing their ads be a net benefit?

I guess neither company will be hiring you as a CEO anytime soon. Your math needs some work.

 

How would it be beneficial? What?

 

You seem confuse...

Android isn't ADDING to the market. People don't normally buy multiple cellphone for their own use. They buy only one at a time. So if Android isn't there, they'll buy Apple or Blackberry. Both of those also browse the web and thus generate add revenue through adsense.

Remove Android and they'll make exactly the same revenue from internet advert since people will simply use another web enable device to browse the web.

Your failure to link Android to the advertisement service is your failure also to prove your point.

But please continue with the funnies.

 

They'll make the same amount of money from advertisement from the platform that replaced Android in the hand of consumer.

Adsense isn't linked in anyway with the success or lack of it of Android.

If Android disappear then either Microsoft, Apple or RIM will take up the slack and google will still make as much money from adsense.

 

LOL, you think the market has not grown at all since Android was introduced?

I dont think I am the one who is confuse.

The Smartphone segment has increased dramatically in recent years. People are dumping dumbphones for smartphones...smartphones that can serve up ads in their apps.

Do I really need to explain this to you? This all seems obvious to me.

Apple has fewer Apps that follow the ad model. And even then, they are predisposed to use Apple's competing ad system anyway. How would that be a benefit to Google? Your original comment still makes no sense at all.

You do know that ads are served through apps, right? We are not talking about internet browsing here. We are talking about ads served through actual apps.

Oh the irony.
