Woz Says Android Will Dominate

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.

  1. Apple Tea Party by RazzleFrog · · Score: 0, Troll

    Apple will always appeal to people the same way that tea party appeals to people. They overwhelm the lesser knowledgeable with nifty phrases and false promises so that they overlook the significant flaws and inherent weaknesses. The problem, of course, is that Americans are even more tech illiterate than they are politically illiterate.

    It's one of the reasons I try to talk all of my friends off the Apple ledge.

    Windows also runs in all those places that run Linux, and it also dominates on the desktop.

    Not really sure how you call that an argument for it having 'won' and its certainly not 'dominating' smart phones yet. Your perspective is completely warped by fanboy.

    It doesn't matter that there's no single Android phone outselling the iPhone, just like it doesn't matter that there's no single Windows laptop outselling the MacBook. What matters is platform market share, and Android as a phone platform is outselling iOS as a phone platform. The fact that the MacBook is the #1 selling laptop hasn't made all the software developers flock to write games for the Mac.

    If you don't think iPhone will become a niche product like the Mac (or even worse), you're the fool. I think you secretly know that, which is why you're posting anonymously.
