Apple’s iCloud announcement this week has obviously generated a lot of (media) attention. Nevertheless; for those who still like the option of having a choice for their handset / smartphone, Google is still in a very strong position.
Look at it this way –
Closed: Apple (and, for those that are still paying attention, RIM / Windows, etc.)
Open: Google (and, that’s essentially it!)
Granted, both options have up-and-downsides. However, it is clear that Apple drew another line in the sand regarding their focus on trying to attract a greater proportion of consumers to migrate to their OS (and, by extension, hardware) via iCloud.
Simply put: the choice is yours (okay; the industries too…)
