Google Android release - failure of Google & Apple collaboration over iPhone platform
Apple iPhone opens up a new market, but Google Android is likely to dominate!
This landmark event is very similar to what happened in the mid 80s of the last century. When Apple first released the window OS MacintoshOS, and after a while Microsoft released its version of the window OS Windows.
Everything is repeated today: Apple first released the iPhone mobile platform, and Apple is not going to sell a license to its iPhone platform for any other smartphone maker (just like it was with MacintoshOS). And then, a little later, Google releases its own version of an open mobile platform (practically copying the basic principles of the iPhone) and is going to sell a license to its platform to all manufacturers of smartphones and mobile communicators.
As a result, in ten years in almost all mobile devices, Android from Google will spin, and the Apple iPhone will be content with the same 5% of the market that Macintosh computers currently occupy. Well, Microsoft will probably forget about everything.
By announcing its Android platform, Google essentially declared war on the Apple iPhone.
But the Apple iPhone is the joint brainchild of Apple & Google!
If you follow the news, then you should know that the head of Google - Eric Schmidt last year was introduced to the board of directors of Apple precisely for the coordination of software development for the Apple iPhone.
Apple has been working closely with Google for a long time and even rumored to merge these companies. For example, in the speech of the head of Google, Eric Schmidt, at Macworld Expo 2007 , the following words were said: “If we unite, what will be the name of the combined company? Applegoog? "
Apparently, the Apple iPhone is one of the approximate variations of the Google Android mobile platform, only made not on the basis of open Linux, but on the basis of the closed OS MacOS X. And of course, Apple has all the control and main profit from the iPhone. And Google could not find sufficient means to influence the development of the iPhone business (because it could not swallow Apple) and, accordingly, could not find a way to take part of the profit from the iPhone itself.
Look at how the situation is changing: just six months ago, Apple categorically demanded that only a Web-app be developed for the iPhone , the obvious influence of Google. And suddenly, Apple recently announced that it will soon release a regular SDK for the iPhone.
I personally wish that a confrontation had begun between Apple & Google. I think that together they could produce even more wonderful devices. But a different corporate culture and, as a result, completely different principles of doing business and making a profit led to this new war: (
