Apple versus Google - a modern battle between two giants of the digital economy which is being played out in a number of interesting ways.
Apple fans talk about innovation, quality, the revenues for developers from the AppStore and user experience.
Advocates of the Google-run Android ystem, however, talk about activations and market share. But while more Android phones are purchased (I’ll include "free phones" with activation), Apple's iOS seems to have the lead in usage as measured by mobile web browsing statistics.
Well that lead for Apple is no longer just a terrestrial advantage.
In a recent post, Gogo Inflight published stats of device usage on planes. But while the split between laptops, smartphones and tablets is roughly equal, iOS has a 3:1 advantage over Android in share of operating systems.
I wonder if venture capital guru Fred Wilson still says to develop Android first?
