What do you think? Will google bring iPhone power to everyone who can’t afford apple products? That would be great
Hey Victor, nice comment. I just wanted to say that iPhone is like an earthquake in the mobile computing, so it affected many minds and products, which came out after it was released. Google, of course, has also “adopted” many concepts from the iPhone and many other OS or phone manufacturers did so.
But the huge difference between iPhone concept and Android is the openness of the system. Here iPhone loses miserably. In the long term, Android will prevail as will e.g. Linux do against Windows. Live and see this coming
