Feeling left behind because you no more iPad? Android-Based Tablets Will Be More Popular
Munster foresees huge success for Apple in the tablet market, but he doesn’t think the iPad will keep the majority of tablet market share forever. The biggest threat? Android.
“Ultimately, we think that Apple won’t have the majority of the (tablet) market share. It’ll probably be with Android-based tablets.”
While Apple continues its walled-garden approach to building proprietary hardware, Google takes the open source route and creates a free operating system. What do you think the rest of the hardware world will embrace? Of course its Google.
Google’s genius is that their media-based model encourages FREE. Free content, free software, free services. This decimates their software competitors while swarming the hardware world with cheap, plentiful alternatives.
Bye bye Apple (well, Apple was really never a major player. They are a brilliant consumer electronics company). Bye Bye Microsoft (for consumer software).
iPhone apps now more popular than major TV shows and sports broadcasts | VentureBeat
Is iPhone the next American Idol?
The daily audience for apps that run on Apple’s iOS operating system (for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) has now surpassed 19 million users, who spend an average of 22 minutes per day using these apps, according to one measure. That means the audience for the iOS devices is now bigger than NBC’s Sunday Night Football and is just shy of the audience for ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Only 4 million daily viewers separate the iOS audience from that of the No. 1-ranked TV show, Fox’s American Idol, according to data collected by analytics firm Flurry.
Flurry’s chief executive, Simon Khalaf, will talk about this data and more at VentureBeat’s DiscoveryBeat 2010 conference on Oct. 18.

This confirms my own experiences with my EVO 4G phone: I’m watching a ton of video on it, perhaps more than on my TV during the week. Repurposing video content for mobile consumption will be a very big opportunity.
Google TV – the next big thing?
Here comes Google TV – Google TV Blog.
I’ve become a big Google fan. I’ve moved over all my previously-Microsoft stuff like Outlook and Exchange over to Google Apps. I used to have a Windows Mobile phone, now I moved to Android.
So when Google announces Google TV, I’m definitely going to have a look at it, both from a consumer and a developer point of view. This could be the next “big thing”.

Paul Brewbaker and Peter Kay talk economics and intellectual property
[audio:brewbaker.mp3]
A presentation made to Kamehameha Schools Economics Class features Paul Brewbaker talking about economics and yours truly talking about global implications of an intellectual property-based economy in Hawaii.
Paul and I go way back to literally the birth of the web in Hawaii, as he supplied the core content behind the launch of boh.com (circa 1994!) and it’s an honor to be speaking with him.
Super Kudos go to the Kamehameha Schools Economics teacher, Mr. Okazaki, who hosted us and a special shout-out to the students that gave us the honor of presenting.
