It’s like Linux…the few who use it reap amazing benefit. Those who put their trust purely in advertising buy iPhones and stay ignorant while swearing they bought the best thing since the discovery of fire. Iphone fanatics would buy a rock if Steve Jobs told them it would make them smarter.

Does the admob track internet data delivered to the device outside of the web browser? The cliq would have the motoblur as a proxy for all news headlines. Social network content, etc, as the droid would for the news and weather widget. It would be interesting to compare the data traffic overall of android devices vs android devices hitting websites directly.

Friends who do not visit blogs or technology websites or talk to people on the internet other than mates on facebook! Friends who would represent a large proportion of the population I would think, and people key to the success of android as a platform.

Android may be doing well with us technology enthusiasts *coughnerds*, but it needs to be reckognised by, and strike a chord with the masses if it’s to actually be successful! There is zero advertising in Europe for android. Two carriers now carry the hero and spica in Ireland, and neither have done any sort of marketing for the phones, they just appeared in the shop like any other phone.

What kind of friends do you have..?

Ok great. Time to start advertising Android in Europe now.

Almost none of my friends have heard of it, and the couple who have heard of it simply dismissed it as “ah sure that’ll be a flop, look at google chrome – nobody uses that”….and they’re right, if it’s not advertised, it’s not known, and not used.
