A recent report measures the usage of mobile phones and claims Apple’s iPhone sales are down as Android based phones blaze past the iPhone sales. Precisely Apple is in third place and Android phones are now in first.
I could go down the path of harping on Apple and it’s closed and proprietary business practices. However, that is not too much off my point. There is no doubt Apple is the leader in niche of market/sector creation, but the company will always position in the down due to the arrogance of one Steve Jobs.
Verizon Wireless continues to aggressively push the Android based line partnering with Motorola by offering a full line of “Droid” phones.* An internal Verizon Wireless strategy for 2010-2011 that has leaked provides details for an Android 3, Android tablets, and Android Apps galore. Apple needs to use its computer and head on over to Verizon Wireless and figure out how to repair it’s problem.
As Bette Davis once said “Fasten your seatbelt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
Apple’s name needs inserting between the words “your” and “seatbelt.”
