It's no wonder now that Apple has many more bright years ahead with all-time record revenue and earnings from the sales of the Iphone which almost doubled from 7.1 million to 14.1 million year-over-year, record selling numbers of Macs up 27% to 3.9 million this year and the Ipad, a gadget announced in February, launched in April and sold a staggering 4.2 million in just 6 months. The result is an all-time high share price floating above the 300 mark from just around 200 at the beginning of the year. That's up 50% year-to-date.
There's no sign of this going down anytime soon as big confusion continues to build-up in the Android camp. Because of its open-source nature, major vendors end up creating different flavors of Android for their mobile devices thus guaranteeing nightmares for Apps developers to develop and test their Apps on all Android flavors that are out there. On the other side, Iphone remain close-source with the one and only App store and pretty straightforward App development.
Last minute news: Yet another Android-based phone - The PlayStation Phone!
Of course.. why not? Since gaming on the Iphone is becoming increasingly popular, Sony definitely need to enter this market to stay in the game.
