Android and iPhone will gain nothing in common other
Written on October 16, 2008
I've always been stupidly simple like the arguments of some of the CEOs I've encountered in my professional life (if I remember the one who wanted only because IBM IBM laptop was the first computer company). Well today I'm going with one of those arguments that I find it difficult to develop because I am neither simple nor CEO.
Proposition: iPhone wins to Android
Agrumentación simple
Apple is a company with many years of experience in the development and sale of hw + sw together, that is, your business is in equipment and software attractive attractive and simple. Google is an advertising company whose applications have always been purchased from third parties ( Picasa, Google Earth, Chrome does not even have done them from scratch), never developed client software has gotten much less ever in the world of hw.
And the rest ... Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson are hardware companies and many times not even that, they buy white-label devices with them, put your logo and point.
Well, not everyone else, is that Palm missed the train. And RIM, with fewer years of experience that Apple but they know well what it is to develop a hw + sw everything at once and succeed, RIM may actually be the horse that is third or fourth, no one to look and winning just because the first two do not look at him.
My argument is stupid and has many buts. I can not say "Google has never developed anything" and stay perfectly calm. Furthermore, it should be noted that managers who are managing projects in these companies may come from one or the other side. But in essence, if I've got plenty dollars today, would buy Apple shares.
Do not care about the actual characteristics of each model?
I think not, no matter that the iPhone is a rock with a touch screen, or that you can not do copy-paste or any other bullshit solvable with an update. What matters is that Google has to learn from Apple, is lagging behind, so it launches later and no improvement.
Note: The headline refers to smart phones. Obviously, Nokia and Motorola will continue to sell like hotcakes consumer scrap.
I recommend reading the book of the history of Google. Where you will see that Google's competitive advantage is innovation (the ability to invent faster and better than their opponents) is not an advertising!. The other argument seems simple, but is that the "purchase" the consumer is complex, so I never acertaras which will take the upper hand. It depends on many factors, availability in the stores, advertising, relevance, technical terms, states of mind, who buy, price, etc ...
[...] Android is a programming platform for mobile phones (cell) developed by Google, to serve as the basis for this kind of phones. You could say that compete in features with Symbian, Windows Mobile or the iPhone OS, among others. So far only one mobile (cellular) market that is compatible, but is expected due to the strength of Google that comes to spread rapidly by many brands, and as a basis for creating hundreds of applications, both free as payment.

Forget the Google Mini, which is HW + SW ...
@ xsamat no data and do not know but I'd say the mini is hard to google bought 'as is' not manufactured by google, even mounted (ibm, hp, dell ...). And they have incorporated a peke version of its search engine inside.
If this is not what you think of joking or really xD
@ ivillar in effect when the public will side, there will be hundreds of books on why, but today, nobody gets wet and a lot less arguing.
Is that android is not yours!
@ ivandelajara in this lies the stupidity of my argument ... if you do not like, I have another
Many of you know, I write in this blog lately about Google's system

Not whether Google is developing Android genius, what I've seen so far I quite like, but this has released source code and anyone can help or even make a custom fork. So it's not what Google does, but what he has done for you whatever you want.
Android to iPhone win and I will not give technical arguments but historical: VHS won over Beta, IBM PC clone def, etc, etc ...
