I totally pegged Android as the likely leader (for tablets and phones) by mid 2011. “Super sized screens and LTE 4G data service haven’t been enough to entice consumers away from Apple. Among corporate users however, Android has had far less of an impact. On the surface, this might be puzzling given the strong trend toward [...]
Amazing. In 2008, 2009, and 2010 I predicted Android would take the lead and stay there across all smart device categories. Despite my bullishness for iOS and a predictable bright future in a small slice of the mobile computing segment, I was wrong; very wrong. iPad takes 96% of tablets, iPhone 53% of phones in [...]

Tim Cook: “There Will Come A Day When The Tablet Market Is Larger Than The PC Market” “One of the big questions hanging over Apple this quarter was whether or not iPad sales would continue its rapid growth.” Okay, so with the most recent quartly earnings report, it’s not a big question [...]

They know [...]
In the seeming never-ending RIM-is-doomed story, iOS has caught up to Blackberry in the enterprise. “Apple’s iOS accounted for 30 percent of mobile devices in use on corporate networks, narrowly beating RIM’s BlackBerry devices at 29 percent. Third place Android represented 21 percent of users, just ahead of Windows Mobile/Windows Phone, which accounted for 18 [...]

I love this Kickstarter project. Simple. Clever. Profitable. And at 1500% of funding goal, it looks like the designers have curled up around a highly demanded product. I like this idea so much, I double pledged. Permalink
