This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.

While each new activation doesn’t necessarily mean Android is getting a new customer — as many folks may upgrade, or perhaps get a second device — a look at previous activations rates announced by Google shows impressive growth. August 2010: 200,000 activations per day
June 2011: 500,000 activations per day
July 2011: 550,00 activations per day (130 million devices, 6 billion downloads to date)
October 2011: 576,900 activations per day, from May-October (190 million devices to date)
It isn’t just handsets that are flying off the shelves too as Android’s app store — Android Market – passed 10 billion downloads earlier this month, with users averaging 53 apps per device, which is still short of 83 on the iPhone.

That there’s no one right answer, no one right path. I need to be open to the idea of making mistakes and choosing a different path, an unconventional path. I need to have the courage to take risks. And if I really believe in the technology that I’m deploying, I need to go out there and do it.

I do not think +1 is going to be a success, neither for Google nor for publishers adding it to their sites. Not until Google finds a way to use it to connect with people in your social circle. Nobody cares about helping Google rank sites so that it can improve their search engine listings. Nor do people want to help you get a better SEO listing by +1’ing your site.

it’s logical to assume that the customers who eventually commit to tablets after this first year will bring a greater diversity of interests than the generally technology-centric early adopters. If we see a continuing influx of customers in that former category, it might brighten the prospects for, say, Vanity Fair’s iPad app. That, combined with the possibility of Apple adding a digital newsstand to the App Store to help customers browse periodical content in a centralized place (hunting for publications amid software brands is suboptimal, to say the least) could further brighten their prospects.
Maybe.
I just don’t see it, though.
