Arrington All About Android!

October 18, 2009

Mike Arrington switched from the iPhone to Android earlier this year.  Most recently he had a chance to get his hands on Motorola’s new Android phone (launching on Verizon next month) and he is amazed.  Here are a few quotes from his blog:

“Make no mistake, this is Android’s flagship product, and the first phone that will pose a significant threat to Apple’s iPhone.”

“The Droid poses a different and more significant challenge to the iPhone than any other phone to date.”

“And the scary thing for Apple is, it may only be a few months before something even better than the Droid comes out. With the flood of Android devices that are hitting the market, a few are bound to be hits. No wonder Google CEO Eric Schmidt is so bullish on Android right now. Things are about to get very, very interesting.”

If I worked for Apple I would have figured out a way to have Steve Jobs meet with Mike when he was threatening to switch.  It is great to have someone like Mike on ‘our’ side - i.e. the Android-fanboy side.  :)
