|
||
|
|
The rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the business of making
|
||
|
|
computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies
|
||
|
|
whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the
|
||
|
|
competition. In the age of the Android and the iPad, these corporations are
|
||
|
|
locked in a feud that will play out not just in the marketplace but in the
|
||
|
|
courts and on screens around the world.</p>

★★☆☆☆

|
<p>It starts as a very interesting story, telling the behind the scenes stories
|
||
|
|
about the first iPhone and the creation of Android. Then it derails and do two
|
||
|
|
stupid things: starts brown nosing one side and focus on a single region. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Mid book you'll see how Jobs was aggressive, how Apple was nasty and how Page,
|
||
|
|
Brin and Schmidt were open and Google was an innovative company. The author
|
||
|
|
doesn't deny the effect of iPhones and iPads, but focus solely on what others
|
||
|
|
were doing instead of giving at least some acknowledgement too the company
|
||
|
|
that created such devices. And yes, I know I sound like a fanboy, but when the
|
||
|
|
author talks about Android it is never about its effects, only how cool and
|
||
|
|
innovative and customisable it is. This very much makes the whole book look
|
||
|
|
one sided, in a non funny way. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The other point is the effects of mobile ecosystem. Everything focus solely in
|
||
|
|
the USA. It's really weird for someone read about Google Music and its dent on
|
||
|
|
Apple music stronghold when your country have no access to Google Music since
|
||
|
|
its inception 3 or so years ago. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the whole book focused on the behind the scenes stories and how they
|
||
|
|
intertwine, it would be a really interesting book. But a narrowed vision and
|
||
|
|
the author personal opinion leaking through the story really ruins everything.</p>
