Where is Google and Apple’s relationship going?
So this past Saturday Apple released for sale the much awaited iPad, Apple Customers were waiting in line as long as Tuesday Morning to be the first ones to purchase this device. What I don’t understand is other than the fact that it is the NEWEST product out by Apple, does it really complement your electronic systems, or in fact is it just a waste of space? Apple customers have always wanted all of the products that this A+ company offer’s, but if you already have the iBook, the iPhone, and the iTouch, what is the point of having another product that does anything and everything that these other products offer?
Google on the other hand continues to build its empire by being the software designer for companies. Here’s how they do it, they buy the company there are interested in and then redesign the software. Brilliant for Google, and in my opinion, very bad for Apple.
Google ‘s most recent purchase is Episodic, and if you don’t know what Episodic is, it is a comprehensive platform for broadcasting live and on-demand video to the web or any web-enabled device. The platform let’s publishers and marketers host, stream, measure and monetize video content. Content creators, marketers and enterprise customers use Episodic to deliver video to the web and mobile device’s. — Yes I did take that definition from the Episodic Blog.
As we all know, or just in case you didn’t; Google “acquired” Android, Inc. a small startup company based in Palo Alto, California in 2005, since that time it has broadened the programmers ability to write code for the Android OS by allowing a Java-based code to be used for all app’s.
Now that is all fine and good, but Apple still requiring their apps to be Apple approved, and Google allowing anyone to build apps and submit to the system, I see a new competitor in the mobile world of apps, and it’s not Apple. Just make sure your Android OS Phone has an antivirus installed; Just saying…
Now back to the Episodic purchase, with Google already the leader in online search technology, and the Android OS being the only competitor to stand up to the iPhone technology, and now Google’s Episodic is the leader in Mobile Video, I see some huge things happening at the Google Headquarters and I just can’t wait to be a part of it.
