Android Will Beat Out iOS Before You Know It



With Google's earnings call yesterday, they were proud to share some good news on the mobile front.

There are around 130 million Android devices floating around out there right now and they're seeing 550,000 new activations daily, up from 400,000 in May.

Compare this to Apple iOS activations, which number 325,000 iPhones and iPads a day.

Yes, iOS is still in the lead, but Android is completely poised to catch up if Google can maintain its growth.

Why does Apple include iPad into their cellular numbers?

History cannot happen fast enough; get rid of the iOS.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

The hate is strong with this one. iOS isn't going anywhere.. Even if android takes the lead, it just meansa ios will be second, its not going to actually kill the iOS.
 
Why do non Apple and Android employee's give a fuck about shit like this? I just don't get it.

So, when Android gives their numbers, I do not think they are only giving wireless handset numbers. :smh:

Android works on tablets too similar to iOS. :smh:

Yes they are, it's already been REPORTED on many times, look it up, they only talk about new phone activations, nothing else is added into those numbers. Not tablets, not a phone replacement you got cause something happened to your old phone, etc.. iOS includeds EVERYTHING, phones, ipods, ipads...

You're right, but I think they both use the numbers sneakily. Google to make it seem like their tablet game isn't tanking and apple to make it appear that they still have a stranglehold on the phone segment. I'm for fair real numbers, but we won't get them from an earnings call.
 
If you're talking about iOS and Android as an OS, you should include any device running that OS. If you are talking strictly smartphones, you should only include smartphones. The article clearly says "devices", so I would think all devices should be included.

iPad 2, Verizon iPhone causing developer migration from Android platform

Flurry Analytics regularly studies new project starts among its clients, and its numbers for Q2 2011 show a decline in Android's developer support compared to the previous quarter. New project starts on the Android platform declined from 36 percent to 28 percent, which Flurry notes is the second quarter-over-quarter decline in Android developer support.

Over 2010, support for the Android platform rose steadily enough that various pundits used it as evidence that iOS was "doomed" and would suffer the same low market share fate as the Mac. These new results from Flurry show that's not the case, and the firm cites two likely factors in the declining developer support for Android: the Verizon iPhone 4 and the iPad 2.

Until earlier this year, the iPhone was available solely on AT&T, and many analysts suggested that was one of the major barriers to increasing the device's adoption rate in the U.S. Meanwhile, Android handsets took Verizon owners by storm, but analysts wondered whether that would last once the iPhone became available on the CDMA network. Flurry suggests the Verizon iPhone's debut, plus huge consumer demand for the iPad 2 (and apps that run on it), are likely behind the apparent developer migration from Android to iOS.

Naturally, this is just one set of results, and as such it's both far too early and extremely misguided to start digging a cemetery plot for the Android platform. It's almost certain that Android and iOS will co-exist and compete for years to come, so any pronouncements of doom and gloom from either side aren't really worth the pixels they're displayed on.
 
Flurry is an APPLE bought analytics company you STUPID FAT SHEDOG LOOKING BASTARD!! Of course they would post that.. Fuck I swear your dumber then the shit that comes out of my dog's ass...

damn thats a grown folks track for real
 
Whats the big deal though? I really dnt know wuts the big deal.. i mean either u want an iphone, android or windows.. i dnt know wut makes a big deal about it..
 
Apple head here… but iOS and Apple products are too closed. I wont be buying anything other than a computer from them till that changes, if never then I 'll never. Ain't like that's gonna hurt their business tho.
