I doubt that in 2 years, many people outside of the tech blog community will know what Android is. Even if they do hear about it, Apple will push iPhone well ahead of the game and put so much anti-android sentiment out about it, that they'll never sell.

That's not a fanboy statement. That is a belief based on real-world circumstances.]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Not true, apple is to sell 45 million in the next 12 months, the story is everywhere]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/
I like the idea of Android, but the problem is it has to work on such a vast range of devices. Phones with big screens. Phones with small screens. Phones with touchscreens. Phones without. Phones with physical keyboards. Phones without.

It will be a nightmare to support such a platform. Apple has it much easier, where the hardware is a known element.]]>Aug 29th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/
Hate to break it to ya, but Apple has always pioneered exploring the realm at the summit of awesome potential- but consistently losing sight of the peak.

IF Apple had left everything open, you could count on the capable Apple Power-Users fixing problems for themselves and the generous ones would dig through forums trying to help others. Instead you have to wait for corporate to make a list, decide on their priorities through a leadership board which assesses the cost of deployment, and then maybe it will get addressed.

With Android, any college kid with enough pizza and caffeine could program an application in no time with a professor to help him troubleshoot for free.]]>Aug 29th 2008 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/They could have been useful]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/it cou...never could have been useful.

Yeah..deny. 45 million iPhones next year, keep up google]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 30th 2008 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Anyone wanna make bets?
I'm willing to bet actual money that no one outside the tech community will give a shit about andriod and that iPhone will reach it's mark of 45 million units and become a universal platform.
And this is only the start :)]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Oh btw, Nokia pushes numbers that make 45 million look like a joke. So even if the iPhone does hit that, which i doubt, it still wont matter.
Have fun in your land of ignorance.

PS. iPhone uses an ARM core, which is already a universal platform. Looks like someone beat Apple to the punch. ]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Android is yet to be commercially deployed.]]>Aug 29th 2008 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/And I'm the dumb one..? Wow.
Well I'll he the smart one since you have mental problems:
Let's compare the iPhones sales figures with the high end nokia phone starting from release? Please do, I would like a good laugh :)]]>Aug 29th 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/
Nokia sells about 100 million phones a quarter. That means that by the time the iPhone reaches 45 million sometime in 2009, if analysts are correct that Nokia will have sold over 1 billion phones since the launch of the iPhone.

In the future please don't blindly follow a specific product so closely that you lose a grip on the sales of other competing products. ]]>Aug 29th 2008 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Aug 29th 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Your comparing 1 phone against nokias 200 crappy phones that they hand out with plans?

I had an iPhone = overated, poor speaker, no copy and paste, fucked up qwerty, etc.

Hey Stupid Fanboi. Go blow Steve Jobs!]]>Aug 29th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/Last time I checked, Justin Timberlake was popular and sold a lot of records/tickets. I think that just proves that the masses are mundane, and praising the iphone makes you mundane.

Not that I think the iphone is that bad, but the argument that it's great because it sells is just awful.]]>Aug 29th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/
Apple lost to Microsoft because Jobs was too stuck-up about his products. The same thing is happening with the iPhone, and history is poised to repeat itself with Google this time:

And I don't know why people think Android is going to bring about this great utopia. You're still going to have situations where the cell phone providers are going to gimp certain features. It's not like Google is going to be able to make companies like Verizon and T-Mobile open up their networks to Skype and tethering and file sharing. Anything you do in Android that costs the least amount of bandwidth, you can be sure that the cell providers are going to find a way to make you pay for it.

Furthermore, this consortium that Google has made is going to complicate the platform. You'll be lucky if you don't have a crash prone environment like Windows Mobile or the iPhone 2.0. If 2 companies with decades of experience developing apps can't make their platform stable, what do you think is going to happen with a newbie company like Google?

In other words, Android won't be as impressive as everyone thinks. Just saying.]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/android-developer-challenge-winners-announced/
If these ever get released on AT&T I'm all over it.This would even be worth the cost of the unlimited internet.

Most all embedded devices run some form of Linux. The difference is that companies don't open up those platforms for development. In essence they lock down the ability of their software to run anything but THEIR software. In fact a good bit of the R&D put into mobile kernels is due to the mass amount of work that embedded Linux companies have done and open sourced. So a good portion of both the WinMo and iPhone( It's really not OS X) kernels take huge cues from the embedded linux kernels.
