[tweetmeme]A new Consumer Reports’… report… just came out. It was like an ex-girlfiend slap in Apple’s face saying they will not recommend the mighty iPhone 4. Apple’s stock already took a 4% dip, in the midst of being barraged and sued for the well documented reception fails. A PR darling, Apple will have to do some serious damage control to stabilize their brand equity in the marketplace.
At the same time, Google just launched an awesome new service called App Inventor, basically allowing anyone to create fully functioning applications. Much like LEGO building blocks, you are able to piece your app together using pre-built components.
HTC’s is also making a splash in the marketplace aiming at Apple’s throat (or at least big toe) with their very capable EVO. If the rumored Apple recall does take place, I have a feeling many, but the most loyal, may be jumping ship to the even-more open platform Android is offering.
With all this going down at the same time, I believe Google could be making their mobile wedge in the market pie even larger if they play their cards right…. and it seems like they are.
And now back to waiting for either the EVO or iPhone 4 to come up the the technologically third world country we live in, aka Canada.
