Ex-Nokia Exec: Using Android Is Like Peeing In Your Pants For Warmth

You've been asking and imploring, so Anssi Vanjoki -- straight shooter, that he is -- now has an answer. Why doesn't Nokia switch to Android? Because Google's software represents only a short-term solution that will lead to bigger quandaries down the line, says he. Anssi was even graceful enough to illustrate this point with a vivid example, saying that mobile manufacturers who go the Android route are doing no better than Finnish boys who "pee in their pants" for warmth in the winter.

Motorola CEO: Android To Rule

Speaking at a recent conference, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said he believes the mobile ecosystem will follow the path seen in the PC ecosystem and standardize on one dominant operating system. Android has gained some serious momentum in the ...

Senh: So far, it looks like Android will eventually be the dominant operating system for cell phones. It's hard beat FREE. It seems like there's a new Android phone out every month. Sure, the iPhone is best-selling smartphone out there for consumers, but when pretty much every other cell phone maker or carrier are coming up with new Android phones, it's hard to beat.

iOS 4.0.1 Available Now! Improves the iPhone's Bar Signal

Microsoft Rejects Google's Lead in Tablets

A top Microsoft Corp. executive voiced confidence that the company's software will prove dominant in the burgeoning market for tablet personal computers, saying the company offers better support for manufacturers than rival Google ...

Senh: Whoah, before tablets running on Android even came out, it's already leading the industry? Sure, I think it will eventually because it's free, and a lot of manufacturers will use, but giving them the lead before any of the tablets have even came out is a bit premature. Right now, Apple's iPad is the leader. Microsoft has a point though. If they come out with a decent tablet computer running Windows 7, I too would prefer that over the iPad or any Android-powered device. Just being able to run any Windows software on it is a major plus.

Google in Talks With Verizon About a Tablet Computer

Google Inc. is in talks with Verizon Wireless to develop a tablet computer that would compete with Apple Inc.'s hit iPad. The tablet will run on Google's Android operating system ...

Senh: Google: "Whatever you can do, I can do better." Interesting that it's gonna run on Android rather than the Chrome operating system that they were building for netbooks. Will Microsoft follow suit and create a tablet to be run on Windows Mobile 7?
