Woz Says Android Will Dominate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the staring-into-the-crystal-ball dept.

cloudcreator writes "Woz [said] that Android smartphones, not the iPhone, would become dominant, noting that the Google OS is likely to win the race similarly to the way that Windows ultimately dominated the PC world." Update: 11/19 04:54 GMT by T : Apparently, Woz's words were taken slightly out of context.

    Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal, so let's look at the numbers. These charts show historical sales of iDevices. One shows iPod sales being replaced by higher-margin iPhone and iPad sales. And they're increasing, not decreasing. I think iPhone sales are more important as we have device convergence. If you truly want to look at just iPod sales another graph is there too. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/23/the-ipods-rise-and-fall/

    Bullshit. Windows was sucessful first, because DOS (Windows' father) ran on the IBM PC and "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". By the time Windows came out, MS OSes were installed on almost every non-Apple PC made, which is why it continued to be so successful.
