The graph seems to point to Android, not iOS eating RIM's pie. I wonder how much Google search results played in that demise.

- nl 13y agoI wonder how much Google search results played in that demise. Err.. Roughly none? I suspect you are trying to make some deep point, or maybe imply some conspiracy but I think you are going to need to be a little more clear.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoI think it's quite clear what I'm suggesting and if you think that it's above Google to take part of some tech conspiracy, well bless your little soul.
- nl 13y agoIf you are implying that Google used its search results to push Android somehow to consumers I'd love to hear some kind of explanation as to how exactly you think that occurs. What would consumers be searching for where that would even be an issue? How did Google's search results influence CEOs to demand that corporate IT departments let them use their iPhones against the corporate email systems? Because that's how BB lost its corporate stranglehold, and only later did Android come in a clean up what was left. I don't think Google is above some tech conspiracy - I just think they didn't need to bother. BB produced uncompetitive products and the market punished them for it.
