I really think the app store is kind of the killer app for Apple and for Google.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
At the end of the day, customer choice is essential. And we don't make products that compete with Apple, nor make products that compete with Google. Our customers come in both iOS and Android flavors, and I hope our customers can still buy the products they want to purchase wherever they want to purchase them.
Everybody's enamored of the iPhone, the Google phone. But the applications are going to change. You know, we're going to start using our phones for shopping. It's going to change the nature of advertising.
Xiaomi looks a bit like Apple but is really more like Amazon with some elements of Google.
I think Apple is a great device company.
VisiCalc and WordPerfect were the killer apps of their day, but Google and Facebook make them look small in comparison.
Google has a great product. They've built a great business.
Good companies do whatever it takes to make sure apps are great and don't hesitate to add features.
Being an app developer isn't at all like working at Apple. There is this huge haystack of apps, and even a very shiny needle can get lost in that haystack.
I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.
