I'm thinking Google need to start again.

It is increasingly apparant that the whole open-source idea of Android was never a good idea and neither was the attempt to free-for-all the marketplace. They should have vetted hardware makers much more carefully, for one thing, as many abandon old devices which is a bad customer experience. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/

The word "Android" doesn't even feature in Google's 2012Q2 results: http://investor.goog...ogle_earnings.pdf Whereas the word "iPhone" has the number "$22,690" (that's millions of dollars, for the quarter; fucking hell) next to it in Apple's results: http://images.apple....q3fy12datasum.pdf Edited by pwhysall Sept. 19, 2012, 07:38:43 AM EDT Expand All History

And I saw a clear example that Android still has a lot of ground to cover: https://github.com/a...rty-devs-and-apps This is the list of 3rd-party apps for social networking API App.Net. The number of iOS apps outnumber the Android apps by more than 10 to 1. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
