Never one to shy away from a bit of a bit of hyperbole, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who usually eschews Apple post-earnings' analyst calls, dropped in yesterday to participate in, he said, Apple's first $20 billion quarter earnings call. He also took the time to go off on a 5 minute anti-Android rant, after being prompted by a question.
The highlights of the tirade:
- Apple has 300,000 apps in the App Store (first official confirmation)
- Android is fragmented and getting more fragmented every day
- Don't forget Google has admitted current Android versions are not tablet-optimized
- The upcoming Android tablets will be DOA
- The minimal size for a tablet is 10", and OEMs will learn that when their Android tablets fail
- Open vs. closed is a smokescreen
- Open doesn't always win
There's plenty more, and you can listen to it below. Of course, folks have already been firing back, and not just Google employees, either, but outside developers as well.
