Apple rules the average tech user because of its idiot proof designs. iPhone is popular because of App Store. Android would not be able to compete because Apple has tightly controlled the OS i.e all apps work on all iPhones and iPod Touch models. Android has got splintered into many strains.

iPhone OS is to Android what Windows is to Linux.

iPhones are perfect for cities with large numbers of commuters who use public transport like subways. NYC, London, Tokyo, Paris etc, so not surprising. When you visit these cities people are texting and emailing while on the go. In NA we tend to drive a lot so we only use our iPhones when we out of the car.

In continuation of my idea above, wouldn’t it be great if we could make our iPhone widgets in Safari on a Mac/PC and then save them to the iPhone as an independent application? Talk about true user customization.

You can do this now in Safari and save in the Dashboard; but being able to save it to the iPhone would be even better!

Going forward I would take anything printed by AdMob with a grain a salt- being bought by Google no longer makes them an independent source of such news.

If I were Apple, I’d turn the tables on Google buy simply making the iPhone Apps themselves the source of ads for the iPhone.

For example, many companies have already submitted apps to the the App Store that are nothing more than an adverstisment of their product or service. Well, Apple could go one step further and make it so that you don’t need to be a programmer to slap a complete ad for your company by just using a template builder.

Using this approach would insure Apple that people going searching on the iPhone App Store and not all over the place by using Google.

Apple may even be able to make an ad section within the App Store.You make it and people will populate it with all sorts of stuff.

It’s an Apple world, and we all must bow down to Steve Jobs(even if he on his last legs).
