Marco:
Why does Google let Eric Schmidt speak publicly? Has it ever turned out well?
That about sums up how much sense this makes. As Marco points out, the simple question is to ask which of these problems Android 4.0 is going to solve:
- Customer base that doesn’t buy apps
- Really low tablet market share
- Fragmentation. Yes, fragmentation is a real problem. Unless an app is going to all of Android’s install base, it’s not really more enticing how many handsets Android has sold. Netflix, for example, only started on something like three phones, and those three phones sell no where near iOS1 numbers.2
What about that is going to change so much in the next 6 months that it will make sense to develop for Android first? Or even develop for Android at all.
