And here's the most resounding statement was made. Eric Schmidt, said that «Android is already ahead of iPhone». While in the audience was dominated by iPhone, iPad and MacBook. He argued such an unexpected message is very simple: "the number of devices, Ice Cream Sandwich, lower prices, more producers." Argue with these statements is difficult, but there is one point on which Android loses iOS - popular with application developers. A huge number of applications and their rapid growth was largely due to the lack of moderation similar to what is in the AppStore. At the same time, software developers are building for iOS their analogues for Android, and the number of those who act contrary little. To this objection, Eric Schmidt said: "Ultimately, application developers are involved in volume, and volume is achieved by openness, which takes Google. There are many manufacturers offering Android-phones around the world. Whether you like Android or not, but you will support this platform, and may even offer it in the first place. " On the question of what does not copy whether Android iOS Google spokesman said that the project was started before the iPhone, and the fundamental principles of humanity use the last 10 000 years and will be used in the future. In general, according to Eric Schmidt on the side of Android now quantitative supply of phones that have been achieved at the expense of openness of the system from Google.
