Just found out that Google has had it’s 1 billionth Android activation occur…. There is just over 7 billion people on the planet and there is still a large amount of them who don’t even have a phone.
Wow, it looks like this many 1,000,000,000 between this many
7,000,000,000.
That’s a lot of jelly beans, ice cream sandwiches and soon to be KitKats.
In other news Microsoft has just purchased Nokia for 7.2 billion dollars, that’s enough to put a dollar in the hand of each person alive just for a phone maker that has really been struggling as of late, just another reason I don’t understand big business, spending billions in order to…. make millions? Well I guess there is still 6 billion people out there that they could sell to minus the devoted Apple/HTC/SONY loveeeeers, (say that with a French accent and a lasting droll at the end for effect) so who knows what may come of it
And finally to Apple, they have just officially announced iPhone 5’s are coming September 10, (gee I hope to see something really different this time otherwise you better get your tents out fan boys and girls and start lining up at the store so you can be the first again to pay $1000 for another slightly different version of a phone that you currently have), however it should be chock full of new tweeks and designs that will get fans salivating all over their screens.
“OMG THIS ONE HAS A VOLUME BUTTON THAT IS SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF UP AND DOWN, I THINK IT’S CALLED iNOISE, WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO CHANGE YOUR SOUND….!”
“HEY DID YOU CHECK OUT THE FLASH?”
“NO, WHY?”
“LIKE OMG THEY HAVE PUT IN A iLED”
“WHAT! NO WAAAAAAY”
“YEAH WAY, IT’S JUST LIKE A NORMAL LED BUT IT HAS AN i IN THE NAME”
“REVOLUTIONARY”
“WHY ARE WE YELLING”
“WE AREN’T, WE’RE JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WE LOVE APPLE AS IF WE OWNED THE COMPANY OURSELVES WHILE WE GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT WE KNOW ALL THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THINGS EVEN WHEN WE CLEARLY DON’T, THEN SCREAM AND YELL IN SHOCKED OFFENSE WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS US ANY DIFFERENT”
“OMG YOUR RIGHT, LIKE APPS, I HAVE THIS ONE APP THAT REMINDS ME TO BREATH EVERY 3 SECONDS SO I DON’T DIE, THANK GOD I HAVE AN iPHONE, I WOULDN’T KNOW HOW I COULD SURVIVE WITHOUT IT”
“REVOLUTIONARY, I HAVE AN APP THAT REMINDS ME TO DOWNLOAD APPS SO I CAN DOWNLOAD APPS”
“WOW REVOLUTIONARY, I HAVE AN APP THAT REMINDS ME TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT AN APP THAT I JUST DOWNLOADED SO EVERYONE KNOW’S HOW COOL AND AWESOME I AM BECAUSE I HAVE AN APP”
“REVOLUTIONARY”
“REVOLUTIONARY”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH”
Rumor has it that one of the handsets will be “champagne” in colour. I wonder if a lawsuit is being drafted in preparation to send to French wine makers after September 10.
I really am looking forward to this though, got to credit Apple for great tech.
Anywho it will be fun to see the whole debate about which phone platform is better, burst forth again into the world and cause a mighty commotion of unsubstantiated facts, stats and over priced apps….. from all platform loving fan camps.
