Established duopoly my foot.
There was already an established duopoly when iOS and Android first shipped.
But what happened was that for some reason the focus shifted from the well established European market to the backwaters American market, rolling back some 2 decades of progress in mobile tech in the process.
Nokia was demoing Symbian phones that could operate as a pocket computer (just hook up to a TV a keyboard and a mouse) while Android barely could show a video on a external screen by blanking the internal one.
Yet the established players flinched, bought into the MSM hype, and ran their ships aground, leaving themselves wide open to be overtaken by upstarts.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoSo why is there only two and both from the US? I am no following what you are trying to say? Also not sure where MSM plays in if this means mainstream media?
- jordanthoms 9y agoSymbian had a lot of functionality, but the quality of the experience was poor in comparison to iOS and Android. That's why it lost, not hype.
