More news on Android-based smart phones outselling iPhones. Kevin C. Tofel says Android Sales Overtake iPhone in the U.S. in GigaOm. Yes, it’s not news and not a very important metric since Google derives no revenue from Android sales and Apple brings in a minimum of $600 per iPhone sold. As Windows PC makers have shown time and again, market share does not equate to revenue and profits.
In response to the news comes a comment from some guy:
To (sic) bad apple wont be making money for much longer then. When the developers abandon ship for androids easier, more streamlined and better development-environment iOS will die a quite fast death.
And we will see the beginning of this when? Note that iPhone customer satisfaction is substantially higher than Android smart phone customers.
Also, iPad isnt selling nearly as good as projected and can only be described as a horrible failure. Soon cheap, superior and faster android tablets will fill the market.
Some guy knows what iPad projections are? Not likely. So far, by all accounts except some guy, iPad is selling like hotcakes everywhere. Does anyone know anyone with an Android tablet? Are they for sale?
Since apple hasnt really kept up their pace at hardware on the PC-side of things the only thing they will really be selling in the future is OSX.
Yet Apple’s Mac sales continue to sell at record numbers in the lucrative and profitable high end of the market. Please note that all Macs are equipped with higher end Intel CPUs, vs. Dell, HP, Lenovo which ship more low end, low profit machines.
I doubt that will be a big margin-item since they are directly competing with Microsoft and Linux there.
Sure, Apple will stop making hardware and start selling OS X. Yep. That’ll happen. Probably by late fall. Uh huh.
People like some guy help to explain why Sarah Palin is popular.
