Unless you have a monopoly on businesses, government and retail sales industry, licensing iOS will fail.

AquaBoy4ever you do realise Apple makes more profit from every iPhone sold compared the profit from the sale of each phone with the other platform.

Apple licensing iOS is not a good idea.

IPhone vs a platform.
Apple please figure a way to license iOS.
Just like the desktop OS wars, I don’t want history to repeat itself.

I like the photo. I just wish it was bigger. Keep running it MDN. I haven’t seen the Dell comparison lately. We have dropped quite a few Dell’s in the last 3 weeks. But Apple should be doing better by the end of the year so I guess that will be back. Annoying as it is.

I honestly think Google is spreading itself too thinly. Just look at the Google web site and see how they’ve listed all their products and services. They can’t seem to even display lists of their own wares in a user friendly manner.

I’ve never used Android but I get the impression they have their work cut out for them working on Android while also handling everything else they have. Apple, by comparison, seems to have a measured way of concentrating on their own strengths and this really shows. Apple Maps may be be an exception but I’m sure this too will shine before too long.

So I’m sure Apple will win because they are ahead of the game in strategic matters while Google seems to be scattered all over the place.

“Neither of these players will be vanquished anytime soon”

I beg to differ.

Apple is committed to vertically covering the entire personal data ecosystem for a user. Google is not.

The truth never changes. After four million times it is still the TRUTH.

I think this is the 4 millionth time we’ve seen the comparison photo. Sloppy “journalism”, it’s the MDN way.

That image from MDN and widely publicized on the net is what makes Mr Mole even lower than a pregnant slug crawling on dirt. Fandroids and iHaters keep ignoring the fact that he was privy to Apple ins and out. Mr. Jobs enthusiastic sharing of new “stuff” to board members was taken advantage of The Evil MOLEMAN.
