[...] My timing was a little out but it now looks like Android is starting to match iPhone for browsing stats. Android has jumped 22% in the last year and with over 50 Android handsets being released these year it looks like its definitely going to be the year of the Android. I will definitely stake my case on Android overtaking the iPhone in final qtr of 2010. “The top five Android devices worldwide in terms of traffic to the Admob network from February 2009 to February 2010 were the Motorola Droid, HTC Dream, HTC Hero, HTC Magic, and the Motorola CLIQ” , with stats like these it looks like the second winner here is Motorola with two handsets figuring very strongly in these statistics. Share and Enjoy: [...]

Here is my thought for 09.

Pat Phelan will continue to be both uplifting and entertaining throughout the recession.

Good on ya, ya good thing ya.

See you and read about you throughout 2009

If the recession is going to be tougher than I’m imagining then we better hold on tight to something.

Still, we did it before, we’ll doubtless do it again…

Grrrr. Sorry. Fat fingered the last time.
Happy New Year Pat. Was great to chat the other day.

You said a couple things that resonated and I want to leave a comment here. You’ll see my own post on VoIP up shortly. I think you’ll like what I have to say, even if I am repeating myself. hehehe

Not sure I agree QIK will be acquired by a mobile manufacturer. I hope not. It will be the death of QIK if it happens I fear. They could do far better with longer term success than saddling themselves with any handset maker.

If Twitter’s acquired by Google, I expect almost immediate stagnation. The possibility makes me glad I have lots of other options to jump to. Being bought by Google is a surer kiss of death than being bought by Cisco or Microsoft in my view.

I don’t agree on Nokia. I think they’ll stagnate, fester and lose market share worldwide in 2009. I fear for them really. Repackaging a new handset a month isn’t innovation or development. I think they’re stale and becoming boring actually. They haven’t impressed me much in a year now.

I do agree about the recession. I think you’re right and then some. I think diversification and thinking shorter term are going to be key for the ones who will thrive.

[...] Pat Phelan called it too, but it seems pretty obvious to anyone in this space. Qik is an amazing mobile video streaming service, probably the best implementation of mobile video streaming out there. It’s a natural extension of a truly mobile lifestyle, and any OEM who picks them up will be very lucky. Plus, they are nice guys. [...]

I’ll disagree with you on Android beating the iPhone in 2009. I do however see Android spreading out on to other devices, and number wise beating the Apple one, but not in the desirability stakes.
Wait until 2010 for that.
