Cool "Android crushing Apple and MS"

Interesting article about the increasing domination of Android in the Smartphone and mobile device market.

I'm not sure I'd like to see Android on PCs though.

These things are cyclic though, as much as I love my android Note 2 and tablet etc, another variant/manufacturer/technology will soon come along. As for Android powered pc, they already exist to a degree and when you count the chromebook which is really a glorified tablet, you can get your hands on one now.
These days I think it is time to enjoy the technology instead of trying to write one off over another just out of brand loyalty when the brand are only interested in money.

I'm not going to read the article, it's pretty obvious that giving something away makes it popular.

Can you really be giving something away for this long without going down the pan.

People must actually be willing to part with cash as well.!?

The cash comes from the advertising, you can't think about Android and not think of how Google make money, selling what you do to advertisers and licensing patents. That enables Google to give Android to any monkey with a computer and that's great.

I guess they are, from Monkey to Man, Apple works great. But I still don't know what Tony's waiting for other than to evolve.

Of course I do you tit. One of the major reasons for my use of Apple products is the fact that they produce the hardware and OS, it's a huge advantage and the reason why Apple products are consistently the best, year after year after year.

You crack on Shoehorning Android onto whatever hardware is the cheapest or has the biggest numbers.

I take it you dont read the news? Apple had not held the top spot for the last couple of years, or have you just over looked that minor poimt?

Since Steve Jobs departed from this place, Apple have nose dived, they need to rethink (and they should have done this with the iphone 5 but didnt), their strategy, basically they need to do what android does, fob off the older hardware and re invent their OS, its the only way they can move forward.

Seems you speak it, you keep saying apple are the best, sell the most etc, well you have such a short memory you need to go see a doctor
But then you are a fanboi and nothing else but apple will do.... if you cannot see apple's failings then you really dont have a word to say on the subject, so go hide under your stone until you have something constructive to say Jack

So funny, till I have something constructive to say. Are you serious, I remember the last time you said something constructive, it was, never. I'm forever posting constructive information regarding Apple, which triggers a negative response from you. You sir are one big negative mother****er and I feel sorry for you.

No Jack, you are just a sucker, have some lemons you seem to like them a lot

Now if you want a decent debate, how can Apple go forward as they are not going anywhere at the moment, unfortunately you only take what you like to take out of a conversation and disregard anything that you dont like, Android is better and it is improving, it still has problems but not as much as IOS is having (its dated and Apple need to do something).
So where do apple go now Jack? Do they start on a new OS or do they just get left behind?

Your move

Your move
Define not going anywhere then define better. It's way too simple just making sweeping statements without references. In the last year Apple have released boat loads of innovative hardware and software, this year we get iOS 7 a natural proggression that will of course be a revalation and a glimpse of how other operating systems will evolve.

You've been spouting the demise of Apple for years now and they just keep getting better.

I see your bum chum Cockforger's arrived, can you two circle jerk out of public view please.

Surely with the advent of 4G and the fact that the IP5 wont work in the Uk, Apple is going to lose a massive market share if they dont do something quickly?

If 4G is rolled out properly and everyone wants to join in, the only way is the android route just now.

Beastie, get back in your cage, your confused. The iPhone 5 works great with 4G on EE in the UK. Now, a quick question for you, what is your data allowance? Mine is unlimited and streams Netflix and BBC iPlayer and all kinds of great content without interruption, saves my home network bandwidth, what am I missing out on exactly?
