How Can Linux Out-'Fabulous' Apple?

,----[ Quote ]
| As a result, "Linux needs to more effectively 
| compete with Steve Jobs and the magic of Apple," 
| Zemlin added. "It's important that open-source 
| products add more value for users than simply 
| being free. Open-source software also needs to be 
| fabulous."

| Funny that Mark Shuttleworth was making similar 
| comments about the desktop back in 2008!

iPhone Now as Fragmented as Android

,----[ Quote ]
| At Transpond, when we were building apps on
| the iPhone and Android platforms last year,
| all of our engineers were enamored with the
| iPhone and annoyed with the pesky Android
| devices.
|
| The iPhone environment was remarkably
| consistent. There was a single 480Ã320 screen
| resolution and API consistency across iPhone,
| iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS. Even though the
| original iPhone doesnât have GPS, it provided
| an approximation based on cell towers, and our
| customers like CBS and NBC are more interested
| in syndicating video and engaging users, so we
| did not need the 3D graphics of the newer
| generation iPhones. All in all, the iPhone
| platform presented a clean, wonderful
| experience for our engineers where they could
| write one piece of code and it would run
| beautifully on all of the iPhone and iPod
| Touch devices.
