Research: Androidâs Big Lead Over Apple In Free Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest numbers from mobile app store
| monitor Distimo show major differences in
| appsâ prices in Googleâs Android Market and
| Appleâs App Store. While the majority of
| apps on the Android Market are free, only
| about a quarter on the App Store are.
| Advantage Android or advantage App Store?
| Debatable. Consumers might prefer free apps,
| but developers want a marketplace where itâs
| commonplace to charge.

Microsoft's past - the future to Android's iPhone victory
,----[ Quote ]
| The desktop market was won by Microsoft in
| large part because of its appeal to the
| broadest segment of the developer population
| â cue the Steve Ballmer fight song, complete
| with sweat stains and manic enthusiasm.
|
| In mobile, Microsoft is AWOL because it has
| failed to attract developers in meaningful
| numbers. Instead, Apple and now Google claim
| the biggest share of mobile developer
| mindshare.
|
| Why? Well, because of money, of course.

Apple Has ZERO Idea What Android Is
,----[ Quote ]
| So let's get this straight. According to
| Apple, Droid, Nokia, and RIM are all
| examples of phone categories. In referencing
| Android devices as Droids, Apple's PR
| department is showing a severe lack of
| understanding for the world of smartphones
| that they are claiming to be so
| authoritative in. Clearly having been sucked
| into Verizon's Droid Does campaign (pretty
| impressive on Verizon's part, if I might say
| so myself), Apple clearly doesn't "get" that
| Android is a platform that resides on over
| 60 devices worldwide.

AdMobâs Final Mobile Metrics Report: Android Rising, But Apple Still Dominates Worldwide
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past two years, mobile ad impressions from smartphones
| have grown from 22 percent of the total to 46 percent in May,
| 2010. Apple iOS devices account for the largest portion worldwide,
| with 40 percent share. But as you can see in the chart above,
| that share has been declining since it peaked above 50 percent
| in November, 2009. Over that time, Android has been
| steadily taking share, rising to 26 percent.

A Little Over A Year Later, Android Is Unstoppable
,----[ Quote ]
| The more you look at Android today, the
| more you have to think back to the fact
| that early last year, people wondered
| whether Google's mobile operating system
| would even survive. There were countless
| columns in March of 2009 trumpeting the
| fact that only one Android handset was
| shown at Mobile World Congress that year.
| Now, Android is spreading out far beyond
| just the many smartphones it appears on.
| This week, Cisco announced a new tablet
| based on the OS, and that's just one new
| direction for Android.

Why do I use an Android phone?
,----[ Quote ]
| However, at the same time, there is one
| thing that I would point out as an
| Android, even at this time: the fact that
| an Android phone is a complete peer to the
| PC and not a slave to it in any way.
