Who’s On Top in the Mobile Operating System Market Share Battle?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

First there was the smartphone operating system battle between the Palm OS and Windows Mobile.  Then Research in Motion (RIM) stepped up their effort.  Next in the progression was Apple with their iOS, and then Google’s Android.

Recent numbers from Quantcast showing that Apple and their iOS hold a 56% market share for mobile operating systems being used for browsing the Internet.  Google’s Android however is quickly making inroads as it now holds 25% of the market.  RIM is left in the dust with 9%, while other mobile operating system account for 10% of mobile browsing.

Since last year, iOS has dropped off by 11% and RIM by 10%, while Android has increased by 17%.  During that same timeframe mobile browsing of the Internet has increased by 110%.

Turning Apples into Appleade

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Apple just introduced a new and improved iPod Touch.  Some of the new features such as the better display and front facing camera are nice additions.  Not having a camera on the latest version of the prior iPod seems like a complete miss though.  How can a company which so many people are drawn to for their technological advancements, take years to come out with a fully developed product?

It seems like this is Apple’s modus operandi though.  The iPhone had issues so Apple introduced a new version called the iPhone 3G.  Not enough memory initially, no problem, bring out a new and improved version with the amount of memory the original product should have come with.

The new iPhone 4 has had issues with being uses as of all things a phone. The temporary solution was for Apple to provide a temporary program, giving people cases, which resolves the issue.  Maybe the iPhone 4 4G will have a bumper case built in.

A client dropped off one of their iPad’s because they need it to print, which it doesn’t.  Who could have imagined that anyone would want to print something?  Certainly not Apple!  Not to worry though because the new iPad 4G might be able to print.

Which leads me to the question; is it Appleade for the user or for Apple?
