After month of meteoric growth , is Android coiffe for a painful burn - up on re - entrance ? ! Also , are shopworn simile like this kill online journalism ? Click READ MORE for the answer !
No , really , the Macalope does n’t expect that Android will all of a sudden crash and sunburn . It for certain does seem , however , that it ’s more and more a Equus caballus caught in the clay .
Ah , trite simile ! The Macalope could never depart you !
It ’s easy ( and sport ) to throw around idle accusal like this . Does the horny one have anything to back up this assertion ? Quick ! To the evidence - mobile ! [ Batman music ]
First there ’s the ITC ruling in favour of Apple , saying that HTC did infringe on the troupe ’s patents in the origination of its Android - based handsets . AsFlorian Mueller explains , the patents “ seem to be at the magnetic core of Android and infringed by all Android equipment . ” Yee - owtch . That ’s gon na forget a Saint Mark . As if it ’s not bad enough that Android handset makersmight have to trounce out as much as $ 15 per unit to Microsoft , now they ’ll have to care with Apple , assume this holds up . Mueller portend Apple wo n’t even cede them a license . Sorry , looks like it ’s back to orbitual dial for you , Android buff !
PCWorld ’s Tony Bradley speculate that the bad position Android is in with esteem to patents will tug French telephone manufacturers and carriers into the blazonry of Microsoft . Those are some seriously squashy seconds but the Great Satan from the Pacific Northwest will take what it can get !
Moving right along from that bit of bad word , we see thatthe fleeceable iPhone line is on the ascent while the blue Android contrast is … ( all together now ) … drained IN THE WATER . Which is , of course of instruction , why it ’s dreary . Not to symbolize body of water , but because it ’s sad . Tech coverage is very complicated .
The ChangeWave survey upshot shown in the graph attempt to foretell purchasing decisions in the next 90 mean solar day , so this does n’t measureactualpurchases . The Macalope fully expects these line to both be in flux for the foreseeable futurity . But it ’s still interesting to see and , as ever , sport to atomic pile onHenry Blodget . It ’d better be fun , because the Macalope does it just about every week .
perverse to Blodget ’s announcement that developers would fly iOS for Android , just the opposite is likely happening .
Marking a shift in the mobile computing place , Google ’s Android political program has set out losing developers to Apple ’s iOS , according to data released last week by fluid coating analytics supplier Flurry , which tracks developer support across various platform .
Boy , Henry . Do n’t you ever get timeworn ofbeing wrong ?
Look , the Macalope does n’t really like Android ill . As long as developers rise for Io and Apple has a seemly marketplace share and takes all the profits , what is there to hate on ? Frankly , he ’s much more concerned aboutdevelopers fleeingbothplatforms(tip o ’ the antlers tothe Loop ) , but he does n’t have anything shady to say about that and , well , he ’s got a job to do .
Again , it ’s silly savant and their presumption of facts not in evidence he ’s got a squawk with , not Android itself . He ’ll depart that to the people who ram themselves to use it for lengthened time period of time .
