It's interesting to see that other people are noticing how poor the google web experience has become on iOS. It seems especially deliberate when I note that android & chrome use webkit. I've even swapped the default search engine to bi

It is an interesting situation, there seems to be the one-brand, one-tech company. Just ripe for sale, when there is no reason(other than funding) that a founder couldn't start a small tech company or group, and grow various new technologie

These figures are a red herring, I'd like to know how the iPhone-equivalent models from Samsung/others are selling. The 3GS is available on upfront $0, but the plan cost is higher, which means it's not competitive to the much cheaper, albei

The thing I've found most interesting is the negative view of Jobs-elitism when it comes to the platform. "We can't just let anyone program for it" (or similar words). I happen to disagree with this point of view for consumer products. I be

Apple tend to shun "completeness" for simplicity to the average user. I.e. 1. Extra complexity without a significant consumer demand. 2. Licensing issues with the studios, should these be priced higher for example.

I'd say they're not too closely related, as the two were already bitter with each other before that point. Google Voice was rejected from the iOS app store: July 2009 Multi-touch on android SDK commenced around: November 2009, sure they cou

He's certainly head strong, and there are many modern cases of implementations that he didn't agree to (The app store, iTunes on Windows etc.) But despite his opposition and his ability to prevent these things from happening, he did eventua

Ultimately I believe apple is responsible for this feature not being included, but the rumour of it being Apple's request is probably not the full picture (or even accurate). Apple is known to approach companies that are likely to infringe

The article seems to have a bias against iOS in general, which I believe might have led to the author's fact checking problems. Some notable examples are referring to the OS behind appletv, ipod touch/iphone & ipad as inflexible. A shor

Apple's marketshare for computers priced over $1000 is >90%, meanwhile the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world is looking to exit the business. I think this is a harbinger for what iOS and Android will become. There is d

This is definitely a contributing factor, but apple are also known for aggressively culling apps which are too basic or too numerous. (E.g. flashlight apps) The quality of the apps available are infinitely more important than how many apps

For a long time I thought that google's services were "free", a nice exchange for being advertised to in response to searches. However now they're scrambling to win the emerging market of following consumers around the web and they're pulli
