Today, unfortunately in the battle between man vs. beast, Steve Jobs vs. Eric Schmidt, iPhone vs. Android, we have found that the Droid is winning. According to the NPD Consumer Market Research, the Android phone is outselling the iPhone by 7% in the first three months of 2010. Apple, or rather Steve Jobs, is a prideful person and therefore had to respond to this study. Apple stated to The Loop:
This is a very limited report on 150,000 US consumers responding to an online survey and does not account for the more than 85 million iPhone and iPod touch customers worldwide,” Apple spokesperson Natalie Harrison, told The Loop. “IDC figures show that iPhone has 16.1 percent of the smartphone market and growing, far outselling Android on a worldwide basis. We had a record quarter with iPhone sales growing by 131 percent and with our new iPhone OS 4.0 software coming this summer, we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.
You heard Apple, “we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.” However, according to this Smartphone operating system unit share trend, the Blackberry and the Android are leading the sales in Smartphone operating systems.
This weekend, “someone” from Apple or at least someone who has access or has relations with the big boys at Apple left a prototype of the Apple iPhone 4G phone at a San Jose bar. Gizmodo, Engadget and various other tech blogs are obsessed with this iPhone discovery and this news spread like wildfire. So here we are spreading the MSG around this stir fry of news.
Here is the iPhone 4G in action:
To be honest though, my money goes on Eric Schmidt as the mole/schmuck who left the iPhone 4G at the bar. He was probably meeting a young, “CEO-digger.”
1. A middle aged man who looks like the child of Karl Rove and Stewie from Family Guy who is destined to go to H-E- double hockey sticks or at least be caned in China.
2. CEO of Google.
3. Slapped China in the face.
4. Slapped by his wife for his multiple mistresses…probably.
Not only is/was Eric Schmidt dating Kate Bohner, a “CEO-digger,” while he was married, but he is slowly becoming friendless. Schmidt will no longer enjoy tea time or afternoon brunches with man pal Steve Jobs. Recently, when Schmidt was at Burning Man with “the other woman,” he received a phone call from Steve Jobs. There had been rumors of the Google phone from HTC and the irate Jobs called Schmidt to reprimand and berate Schmidt for his disloyal behavior. Also, when the iPhone was in the prototype form, Schmidt supposedly gave it to his wife after he became restless with the iPhone, and after his wife played with it, he gave it to Bohner.
This man clearly respects women and while he is a smart and intelligent man who is the CEO of Google, it is clear that he fails at life. Here’s to you Eric Schmidt, for almost being as big of a jerk as Tiger Woods, who cheated on his pregnant wife with 16…17…18…women in counting.
