Android robot sez: "How you like me now bitches???"

Symbian, Windows. Look at you now. lol.

[jnrbshp]

Lol..they're welcome in our world

[bathellfire]

3 years later: Symbian and Windows Mobile are killed. Nokia and Microsoft unite to try to take over the world with a brand new platform - "Windows Phone 7", that at this point of time has just a single digit % market share.

2011 android market share 60 % , windows phone/movile 4% . buhahahahahah

I still remember his laugh about the first Iphone

[JohnnyBoy501]

90% of buyers don't buy Android phones because of Android. "I want a touch-phone like the iPhone, but something prevents me from getting an iPhone (availability, price, bluetooth, usb, itunes etc)" So the reasoning for what they need goes like this: It has a glass touch screen, so I can do touching. It has many apps, so I can do downloading and having apps. It is available on my carrier and it's cheaper than iPhone. Et voila, nothing left from 2009 to 2011 besides Androids.

My how things have changed.

[ontotheos]

and thrree year later Google Android is the leading platform we are forgetting the symbian and Windows phone can barely stand for the battle. It's Android and iPhone Era Now

I love how Google is making them eat their words now.

Balmer should go back to his other job as the dad on Everybody Loves Raymond.

It's so funny watching this after 4 years of Android blasting to the top of worldwide market share and kicking Windows, Symbian, and even the goddamn iPhone into the dustbin.

And I came here to see Ballmer speak because every picture of him gives me the irresistible urge to punch him in the fucking face. I wanted to see if hearing him speak would quell that feeling.

Nope, now I want to kick him in the balls too.

How Microsoft did so well with a used car salesman at their helm is beyond me.
