    Good. People are getting fed up with Apples fascist crap and going to
    a platform that allows people FREEDOM. FREEDOM is what people have
    fought and died for.

    So it couldn't possibly have anything to do with Apple is tied to AT&T
    (stupid decision). But since everyone always likes to quote world
    market share, Apple 16.1%. Android 7.1%

    I'm happy iPhone is tied to ATT because this is causing people to
    seeking out other phones, and going with more open phones such as
    Droid.

    Its kind of sad too, because when I first heard about the iPhone, I
    was actualy very impressed, but when the initial announcement of it
    being web-app only, followed by "ok, we will allow native apps, but WE
    dictate what can and cannot go on this device, and oh BTW you have to
    pay a developers fee even for apps you intend to only load the app on
    your phone" completely killed the enchantment.

    Windows Phone 7 is also a locked down POS and that is one product I
    really would like to see DOA. At least M$ said they will be selling
    the unrestricted 6x OS alongside the crappy Phone 7 OS but I have not
    much faith in that.

    If you look at the trend, the iPhone is basically staying stable, most
    of the growth is coming at the expense of Windows Mobile. I don't
    doubt that it is possible that their might be more Android phones out
    their then iPhone's worldwide soon . But from a developer standpoint,
    the iPhone OS is still more appealing. The App Store is much better
    than the Android MarketPlace (discoverability, marketing,
    international availability, the propensity of customers to actually
    spend money, etc) and they have a consistent target.

    Android is also limited to phones. To overtake the "iPhone OS", you
    also have to outsell the iPod Touch and the iPad,

    Outside the USA, sellphones operate on Symbian from the big elephant in the
    room, Nokia. Nokia's cool new N8 operates on new Symbian 3....very cool
    indeed.

    Cool, but seriously flawed, part of why Nokia is running scared, with
    another big management shakeup.

    Android may be ported to the desktop soon and it's already
    out there for some of the new tablets that are coming out.
    Remember, Android is based on Linux so it's a tested platform on
    a wide variety of hardware platforms.

    http://www.pcworld.com/businesscente...esktop_os.html

    I think Android is possibly what could help Linux to gain
    popularity in the desktop world. Apple has already tried it's
    hand at desktop OSes and they have been horrible failures with
    actually losing market share over the decades. I wonder how many
    copies of OS X Snow Leopard have sold. Windows 7 on the other
    hand is selling like hotcakes in the retail market as well as on
    new PCs.

    So isn't this like the 10th anniversary of the "Year of desktop
    Linux?". Remember when netbooks were first introduced? They were
    running Linux and were being returned by the droves....

    http://blog.laptopmag.com/ubuntu-con...han-anticpated

    As far as Android on tablets.....

    Have you actually seen the Android tablets that are currently
    available? The only one that I'm aware of is the Archos, it's a
    resistive touch screen and most reviews have panned it.

    So Apple is a failure? I think Dell, Toshiba, Lenova, and even HP
    would love to make the kind of money that the Mac generates. Or did
    you forget that Apple makes more selling Macs than Dell made in all
    last quarter?

    Try this little experiment, buy a Droid, buy a 32GB MicroSD card
    (currently $200), and try to use that $200 MicroSD card on the Droid
    to store apps that you download......

    At OpenSource World (formerly LinuxWorld) in San Francisco this week,
    Todd Finch, Dell senior product marketing manager, decided to set the
    record straight on return rates for Dell's Linux-based Inspiron Mini
    netbooks, writes Gavin Clarke in The Register. Saying Linux return rates
    were a "non-issue," Finch is quoted as saying that Microsoft was "making
    something of nothing."

    Finch was further quoted as saying, "We don't see a significant
    difference between the return rate for Windows versus the rate for Linux.
    We've been quite pleased with the stability and technical soundness of
    the Linux machines."

    I think the return rate for the Eee PCs are low but I believe the Linux
    and Windows have similar return rates. We really separate the products
    into different user groups. A lot of users like the Windows XP, but in
    Europe a lot of people want the Linux option. Actually in Linux we
    support the Easy Mode and in Q4 of this year we are going to start
    selling Windows XP with an Easy Mode.

    No, I haven't actually seen an Archos tablet. I also haven't seen an iPad.

    No, Apple isn't a failure. They don't seem to be able to sell as many
    computers as their competitors, but they are able to make that up on
    margins.

    But let's go to the horses mouth. Dell optionally bundles Ubuntu
    Linux with the Mini.....

    So while Dell says return rates aren't an issue, the marketing
    director at Canonical says something different.
