If success is viewed in terms of profits only then there is cause for concern. What happens when Android ships on the majority of smartphones? - developers will jump ship and start developing first on Android. - iOS will be less relevan…

Eric Schmidt is right about Google winning in marketshare. He clearly has a different definition of winning and the game as Apple does and that is okay. As long as people keep using Google Search, the ad money will keep on pouring in and Google …

I never liked the multitasking bar as it is way too small. From a UX perspective, why only show one row and force the user to scroll through? Not smart. I really like the swiping on the IPAD to switch between apps and wish they would enable it on t…
