Amen!
Google is and always has been playing a "heads I win, tails I win" game with Android and sure enough is positioned to win. Not just against Apple but the telcos too.
Google Voice was a major move here.
I like my iPhone, but I like a carrier independent phone number with web access to my voicemail and SMS way more.
Apple is putting up a killer fight and it's fun to watch. But Google is hacking away at the entire mobile, portable, and cloud landscape. Someday Apple will come back to drink from these wells or customers will leave.
Gruber is nuts for the footnote saying Android will lose money for Google...
- WiseWeasel 16y agoMy only problem with Google is that as a user, the hacking can sometimes cut both ways. I liked some of those walls that were there (like the ones I'm living in), and it would be nice if Google could learn to avoid the ones you want to leave up. As for the footnote, I agree that it's a loser's game to argue that Google shouldn't have risked competing with Apple's iPhone platform, in the hopes that they wouldn't eventually choose to lock their ad platform out. These companies don't run on hope.
