For those of you eagerly awaiting the Windows Phone 7 Series, the other mobile industry news must be quite interesting as well. What is it I’m taking about or referring to? Well, let’s take a look at two big stories around the mobile industry over the past 24/48 hours:
- Android sales overtake the fruit machine. Yep you read it right, the good ‘ole iPhone just isn’t as good as it once was. Proof that you can’t rest on your laurels. – http://gigaom.com/2010/08/02/android-sales-overtake-iphone-in-the-u-s/
- BlackBerry traffic to be outlawed in Saudi. Hmm, that’s an interesting one. Does that mean that all data type traffic will be outlawed or is this a target at RIM only? Read more here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10860491

This is not surprising considering how many devices Android is offered on. I do believe that Android is the more superior O.S. but the problem is that people are buying it because it’s “Hot”, not because it’s better. This will continue until the next hot thing comes along. Too bad people don’t make decisions on these things based on what’s best. I also believe that WebOS is being underplayed. It is also a great mobile O.S. but it’s not being pushed by the big names so not many people know about it.
