If competition brings innovation then it's good; if they just try and make it cheaper and cheaper on slimmer and slimmer margins then the consumer is going to be left choosing between crap A and crap B.<br /><br />The competition is between Android and iOS. Symbian, Bada, Meego, etc. can push some innovative features to Android because they're also open source and a developer could work on more than one, but I'm not expecting much push to come from Microsoft since their OS proprietary and their developers are contractually limited. <br /><br />If the manufacturers want to beat Apple they're going to have concentrate their efforts, not spread them out.Schultzterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04045911085515037465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-33036167926010123912010-10-13T05:22:37.075-07:002010-10-13T05:22:37.075-07:00A brilliant and resourcefully postA brilliant and resourcefully postInternational Manual Clipping Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400989716431206178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-38548411883954977642010-10-13T00:40:08.819-07:002010-10-13T00:40:08.819-07:00Peace - The Mobile OS/Platform is all right.

Vice President at Google says there's no need for competition?<br /><br />I have an Android phone and I like how flexible it is, but I have to admit that it often feels like a work in progress. It can be slow to respond, it sometimes crashes, and the design of the user interface is not good in many respects. I'd like there to be lots of competitive pressure on the developers, just to make sure they have a strong incentive to continue improving it.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211591769173375581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-9879954686431372422010-10-12T13:48:04.172-07:002010-10-12T13:48:04.172-07:00I also disagree, does a diversity of web browsers ...I also disagree, does a diversity of web browsers help the web?
