Google is doing a great job getting adoption of their mobile OS by carriers. Even AT&T whose network can barely handle data traffic from the iPhone is going to add Android Phones to their smartphone lineup. But as you may have already read or heard in other posts, the Android Eco-System is not optimum. Basically, in Jona Tech's opinion, the lack of an "iTunes Store" equivalent for media and applications is a real detriment for both consumers and developers with the latter being especially important. Without developers, you have no apps. No apps leads to consumer dissatisfaction. Consumer dissatisfaction leads to low sales of Android power devices.
How does Google get more developers or keep developers happy? Google needs to do a better job of exposing them. They need to provide a consumer friendly 1 stop shopping experience. They need to enable the ability of developers who write applications for a living, make money.
Currently, there is no iTunes equivalent for Google. Until this is made available, then Google Android smartphones will not be able to surpass the iPhone.
Let us know what you think?
