Android Gains in marketshare as iOS wanes

Don’t look now, Apple fanatics, but Android’s just made another noteworthy leap in mobile market share. Google’s Android platform grew by 44 percent from February to May, according to a report released Thursday by ComScore.

…The reality is that new high-profile Android handsets are hitting store shelves practically every month — handsets like Motorola’s Droid X and the multicarriered Samsung Galaxy S — and those are attracting an awful lot of new customers. Last month, Google said it was activating 160,000 new Android devices every day, and that was before the Droid X had even been announced. Older Android handsets are slowly but surely starting to receive the Android 2.2 upgrade, giving them fresh life as well. In order to reverse the shifting market share trends, Apple’s iPhone 4 would have to outpace the growth of that entire ever-expanding fleet of Android phones.
Even if the iPhone 4 didn’t require a Jedi voodoo grip in order to work, that’d be one hell of a feat to achieve. Factor in those reception issues — not to mention the iPhone 4’s other reported problems — and it’d take a full-blown miracle for Apple to fend off Android’s gains….

Plink has a lot of info in their official blog post, but it appears as thought he developers will keep Plink available for download but instead shift focus towards Google’s equivalent Google Goggles.

With how quickly technology is growing, it’s not surprising to see this kind of buyout from Google. They’re an extremely innovative company and are currently leading us through this technological revolution. Combining a company such as Plink with their Google Goggles app for Android is amazing business strategy, and we’ll see some serious results in the field of visual search over the next few months.
Although Google hasn’t released any word as of yet, it’s safe to say they have their own reasons for the buyout. I’m excited to see…

For years, Stephen J. Vaughan-Nichols has been trying to turn Linux into something it is not: A successful and popular desktop operating system. His latest foray into “Linux is the next big thing” is a discussion of Google’s Android operating system running on future netbooks.

…For years, my friend Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has been trying to turn Linux into something it is not: A successful and popular desktop operating system.
