Rory Cellan-Jones asks an interesting question. Who in the mobile world is more of a game changer (at this point) - google or apple?
Two years ago all the talk at the Mobile World Congress was of the imminent arrival of the Apple iPhone, and how it was going to change the industry. One year ago, all the talk was of Google’s open-source Android operating system, and what a radical impact that might have. In each case, the big established players blew a collective raspberry at the thought that these upstarts would rock their world - so how much has changed?
There is no doubt in my mind that apple iphone is the bigger game changer (as a thought leader) as of now, though google android could change that in the future. As I mentioned earlier I see apple iphone doing to mobile platform what netscape brwoser did to internet. Isee android as firefox of the mobile platform.
