Looks like that Android locomotive may have just hit an incline and seems to have slowed a bit. Could this be the beginning of a pikes peak for google.
What if Apple moves into the search business in the near future?
Will they bring out a less costly version of the iPhone with their own brand of maps as well?
Manfacturers happy with Android or will they move for there own flavor of in-house OS?
Pike Peak- looming or still a distant image?
I prefer to think of it more along the lines of a “Thoroughfare Gap” moment.
What does this measure?
thank you for the amazing post. I will come again on this website.
