On Galaxy Tab: "With the 10-inch iPad, you can technically use some iPhone apps on the tablet. They don't look good, though, since they're designed for a much smaller screen. Developers serious about selling to the iPad crowd have to design specific iPad apps that take advantage of the whole screen. Meanwhile, the Android Market has very, very few apps designed specifically for the Galaxy's 7-inch screen. Most of the apps Galaxy owners will use -- for now, anyway -- will be regular old Android apps designed for smaller smartphone screens. They'll just scale up to 7 inches. Will they look like crap after inflating that much? Perhaps not -- going from about 4 to 7 inches isn't that much of a stretch."
On Symbian: "Now that Symbian's younger half-brother [MeeGo] is the main focus of Nokia's smartphone software R&D, and now that the older OS has basically been pulled out of college and told to go back to living in its parents' basement, its future is not bright."
On Android: "The acceleration has been remarkable. According to Gartner's figures, in Q3 of 2010, Android claimed the second place in the market share race with 25.5 percent. A year ago, it was at 3.5 percent. That would be pretty impressive if the market had stayed the same size, but that's far from the truth. The overall cellphone market grew 35 percent over the last year, and a big part of that growth was driven by increased smartphone sales."
