im thinking apple is scared... |

Apple should be scared. It's restricted environment is starting to take big hits. I just wonder how long this apple sub-culture will last. |

If Apple's scared, Microsoft should be petrified. They're being outsold by Android 15 to 1 in the U.K., and have resorted to "buy one, get one free" to try to increase adoption. |

LOL. I love Android. I hope Google wins with their android phones. |

Thats crazy but all good though :) I love my android phone and the new apps that we keep getting too! |

In the current market as well as in where it seems to be going Apple it seems should be scared. I remember a time when it looked like they would own the PC world. As for Android they have as well as have built a great platform and market on Android. They seem to be playing there cards right as well. The biggest thing though is this I think. The largest percentage of those data transaction's still happen from within a Microsoft platform which is Windows. Yes; everyone loves an underdog, if Google could be considered as such. It does seem to me though that M$ did a lot of research on what was coming. Windows phone was delayed for quite some time, and the most hated OS ever it seems in Vista also started all of this. They also changed Office as well, which is there second largest product. Microsoft still owns both the desktop/laptop, and Office sweet market at the last time I checked. The tie in's here with Windows phone 7 seem to be pretty self evident. To start off with have you seen any of those Microsoft to the cloud commercials that seem to play about every 15 minutes. They make a good point! If they can (which it seems they are doing) tie it all together in the end. They are still the unstoppable market Elephant. Yes all of us tech junkies may love Android, iOs, Meego, Palm or whatever platform we preach about. In the end and Elephant tramples a Bull like a semi truck does a trash can, or a car as well in that situation. This elephant also has tie in's to a very large and healthy percentage of the market by default. So where all this goes I do not know with any degree of certainty. The one thing I would definitely be in on if I was a betting man is that Microsoft could loose a percentage of it's platform market maybe, but that percentage will not most likely be much more than 10%. I imagine it wouldn't be anywhere close to that much. Microsoft in the past has adapted well, Apple does not, and Google is the newer player here. I predict Apple looses though maintains more of a market presence at least for 3-5, Google makes largely it's own market, and Microsoft looses some percentage, but in the end is nowhere near out. |
