Google V Apple

In the past and to some extent in the future, whenever apps were mentioned in a conversation, Apple would nearly always be mentioned exclusively. I have been mulling over getting an app done for Fortune and Venture and initially when I contacted app developers, it was nearly always the same response. Get it done using the Apple operating system. Fast forward a year or two and now Google, Android and Windows 8 are making their way into the mix. The choice is vast, however, there seems to be one operating system that will eventually come out that when used to write apps can be used on all of the different Smart phones. Will people still stick with Apple or move to another brand? The article attached is well worth a read. If you are a potential app developer or want an app making, this is a must read. Article

Blackberry10

RIM is about to launch 2 Blackberry10 devices and a platform to run them on in January. The days of the Berry are numbered, but could these latest products be the savior for them? I personally liked the QWERTY keyboard of the Berry and therefore haven't gone onto the Android or iPhone. Now they have done away with the keyboard and made it touch like all the other phones, will they still be here next year? Will I stay with Berry, get a Samsung, iPhone or hold out for the Windows8 phone by Nokia. Choices, Choices, Choices. To be a consumer is not a bad thing. See article.
