Eric is CEO of Google which makes Android and also the Chrome browser that's hurting Apple.
John Sculley made some fatal mistakes at Apple, got Steve ousted, made deals with Microsoft and ruined the company.
Both are human trojans and not the condom types neither.
You're being silly. Google is a competitor for Apple of course, but also a partner and the most powerful internet company on the planet. Apple needs to be the very best of pals with Google, it absolutely cannot afford to alienate them.
And for what it's worth, have you used Chrome? It's the best browser out there. Lightning fast and now with extensions too.
And Jobs is flawless? Pretty sure it was Jobs that gave Microsoft the original Macs to develop software for. Pretty sure it was Jobs who jacked the entire corporate culture at Apple and got himself ousted. Pretty sure it was Jobs that made a deal again with Microsoft in 1997.
But it was also Jobs that restored Apple.
I realize this is an Apple blog site and so it is stocked full of Apple fanboys, but let's show at least a little objectivity.
the big weaknesses are that the droid OS update process is clunky and the app distribution is less controlled...so satisfaction may go down once people start seeing where these processes aren't as streamlined.
Sounds good but also:
Apple has 30 million phones out there. Android has .5 million and even less of the latest versions. So if 6 early tech buyers buy android and like it, its high satisfaction.
But what happens when 4 million have them and most of those people are non technical??
Also, iPhone is AT&T only. Android seems to be running on every system. All the same quality, different phones, different likes and dislikes????
It will be interesting to see where we are next year!!

Don't forget that Jobs bought Pixar and turned it into a success by selling it to Disney.
What has Sculley accomplished since Pepsi? nada.
"Sugar water salesman" that's what Sculley was and should have remained.
Second Droid is on Verizon. People who are buying are the male-techy types and those who been waiting for the iPhone to come to Verizon. These customers are getting and impatient so they choose the next best thing. Also wait till they really see how unintuitive Android really is!!
That's what I was thinking, too. Was this really a survey of preferences between Android and the iPhone? Or was it reflective of people who aren't on ATT knowing that Android was their best choice? So if you are on Verizon and not intending on switching, and know you can't get an iPhone, you wouldn't say you were planning on getting one.
I'm always surprised by RIM's numbers. Relatively low satisfaction and yet their sales go from strength to strength. Even in this survey, the number of people intending to buy a Blackberry is up.

RIM's customers aren't really the end users. It's the network admins and business people who buy them for their offices. They have different requirements. End users love apples phone, but enterprises don't yet. RIM is in basically the opposite situation.

Chrome is good for Safari and Apple. Webkit market share is what is important (as long as there is not a full-on fork in the code base), because that means developer mindshare. The fact that developers will need to test for Webkit compatibility is an awesome thing for Apple, something I thought they would never achieve.
I agree Android is hurting Apple more that it is helping, but Google purchased Android years before the iPhone was announced, so I'm not sure where they were in development before the iPhone.
Don't show this satisfaction survey to the multiple 'droid users that I have recently sold iPhones to. Some of them said they were going to take them outside and smash them.
I have also had the same experience with some people that used the iPhone, Pre and G1 products. All platforms will have their crowd of those who don't like them after they bought them.

Very true, but that has never stopped trolls from using such anecdotal stories as "proof" of their biased statements for or against the device in question. It's one of the reasons I no longer pay any attention to user reviews of tech. User reviews cannot be trusted as authentic or without hidden agendas. I still snicker when I recall the literally hundreds of negative user reviews of the iPhone before it was even available for purchase.
What about that environmental fraud Al Gore and his three, yes three! 30" monitors?
You seem confused... Do you believe that monitor power consumption plays a big role in environmental damage?
In fact ALL HOME POWER CONSUMPTION, including monitors, fridges and air-conditioners amounts to something around 25% of the general power consumption in the US (according to the statistics).
Manufacturing, enterprises, public sector, cars etc consume the other 75%.
That puts mr. Gore's share is around 0.00000000000000001%

Just a thought,

We've seen this before.
Lets see how this changes when the next revision of iPhone is released.
Cupertino, start your copiers!

Bad move by Steve, ditto for Eric.

Jobs didn't turn Pixar into a success by selling it to Disney. He turned Pixar into a success and then sold it to Disney.
There is a big difference. One of just being a good salesman vs actually building a successful company.
Don't forget that Jobs bought Pixar and turned it into a success by selling it to Disney.
Pedantically speaking, Jobs made his $10M purchase from Lucas a success long before he sold it to Disney.

on its toes. On the other hand being a developer I also enjoy two strong markets to capitalize from.
