Where Are Those iOS-Slaying Android Exclusive Apps?

techcrunch.com

Ugh, MG is so predictable in his slavish dedication to Apple that it's laughable. Is this really an article about some 6 month old market-speak from the ex-CEO of Google?

I'm not going to hold my breath for the upcoming article from him about failed promises from Apple.

Why the ad hominem attack on the author?

Irrespective of the author's affiliations, I found the article well written and well reasoned. The problems discussed are real and it would be in Google's best interest to address them.

Why exactly do we need IOS slaying apps? The IOS slaying part (which the Google CEO didn't seem to get) is that pretty much all apps work on both IOS and Android. Android's going to win because it has price and selection on its side. But there's no need to slay Apple. Apple is always going to be a niche product for a certain type of customer. Just like there are people still very much in love with their Blackberries.
