Right now, I guess the gap between iPhone OS and Android is still widening. Google says that there are 100,000 Android phones activated a day. Assuming that's for every day in the week, then this comes up to about 9.2 million phones. Apple sold 8.7 m iPhones last quarter (even more than in the holiday quarter) and maybe 4-5 million iPod Touch. Starting this quarter, they safely sell 2-3 million iPads a quarter. So Google needs more than 150,000 phones a day to not widen the gap anymore. I think this is very possible, with one unknown factor here being the impact of Windows Phone 7 starting Q4 since it's the most direct competitor to Android. The other one is how much Apple values market share over profits: Nokia sells more than times the amount of phones that Apples does, but Apple makes more money doing this. Will they lower prices of the phones to better compete with Android? WWDC will tell, I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
