That would be an awesome tourist expedition to sell.


It would...maybe offer prizes as part of the tour package to who can go the furthest...

But then there are all those low water dams to get around....

Probably not.  My IT director is an "Idiot" too. We have experience porting applications to both platforms (also Windows phone/tablets).  Can't touch Android for price, reliability, battery life, and a whole host of other factors related to managing the devices on the network.

But then again, we're "Idiots" so there is that.

So platform fragmentation, lagging app development and most of all security aren’t important to your org?

Good to know.

I suppose that would be a huge concern if any of that was true.  Cheesy

I read a review (I think it was EE Times...?) and they were talking about how great it is that Apple finally got all the features that Android has...since 2012.

I think the Near Field Communicates is the biggest.  I got a kick out of the "Revolutionary new Apple Pay" that we've been using on Android devices for a couple of years now.  We also have the ability to use it for mobile inventory tags that would require a plug-in fob and custom app on an iOS device.  Now it will likely be a few more years before Apple allows the NFC on their devices to be capable of all of the functions that Android and even Windows allows.

Good to know you are up to date on these things.

So tell me, with most of the best and secure Android tablets today being made by Samsung, how are you going to handle them moving to Tizen? What are your plans for the coming fragmentation of Android into more and more sealed off proprietary forks like what Amazon is doing with the Fire?

What's your company's BYOD policy?

Yeah...about that secure thing.... don't really think they are all that secure yet. 


I am curious how Samsung moving to their own in-house microprocessor is gonna affect stuff.  The s5 has several variants, but the ones that interest me most are the Qualcomm (Snapdragon) versus Samsung processor (Exynos 5 Octa) versions.  Qualcomm version has them beat so far on power/performance/battery life, but Samsung is really big into semiconductors and should be able to easily close that gap.  Gonna have to buy one soon for SWMBO and it will have to be Qualcomm version right now....if she will put up with the size of it.

 Cheesy Don't live in India or China, so don't care about Samsung experimenting with OSOS.  Manufacturers do that all the time.

NOT being sealed off is what has helped the Android market eclipse all others, and the trend now is towards more of the Google core devices. 

We do not dictate the devices our clients use, we simply provide recommendations and information on the limitations each system will present them with.  Of course the typically pay us to support them, so if the do opt for an iOS environment, that's their decision. It just means it will cost them more.

Can we stop playing this game now?

(DISCLAIMER: The graph above only represents 15 years of data, and does not represent mobile OS market performance over the past century.)

Cost, low end and "ultra" low end.

That was why Apple tried the C.

If I'm not mistaken there are no LWD from north of the Sacramento airport to the bay. Fun business might be river cruises from Sacramento to Fisherman's Wharf. Do a down and back from downtown Sacramento.

Probably not...Sac is only about 15 feet above sea level or so....  Back in 80's I did some flowmeter work with their state water dept - they would stock streams in the area, go down to the end of the river and catch the fish that made it that far, then haul them in trucks back upstream to restock.  Apparently made some great fishing, but seems odd on the face of it.  The dept guys talked about fish ladders, but didn't specifically mention the canal....

Compel you to use your data plan to send pictures/music/etc. to the phone 3 feet from you when you could just do it with Bluetooth.

Or in the case of most newer Androids, NFC.
