2011: Year of Android/WinMo7/BlackberryOS6? How about making it an year of iOS?

The new set of rumors doing rounds in the tech journals/blogs yesterday got me to write this post (which I wanted to write before Jan1, so that I could title it as my predictions for 2011 :)

A lot has been written and spoken about The Rise of The Android OS, and to some extent about the Windows Mobile 7. The growth of all non-iOS platforms/devices had the luxury of being shielded by iPhone-AT&T exclusivity, which was good enough for people to forgo the iPhone for a better network (most often claimed to be Verizon).

Now, with the impending launch of the iPhone on the "best" American wireless carrier, I predict the tsunami of iOS devices, since there are millions of wireless consumers who have been satisfying their urge to have a smartphone by going in for the only options available on Verizon, which happened to be Androids!

Android is open (only to OEMs)

Could it be any worse for Android devices not manufactured (designed or OEMd) by Google?

Sony Ericcson says here "We believe the features included in the Android 2.1 phone are on par with, and in many cases better than, a vanilla installation of 2.2 #X10"

Which means, an Xperia owner is in Sony Ericcson's walled garden now!

Where are my creative blabbering juices!?!?!?

Its been a long time since I blogged, and each time I think of blogging about something, I'll have no access to the browser and when I have the access, I dont blog!

About Me

This post is nothing about me. its about about.me

If that sounds weird, then the effort I put in to come up with this post didn't go waste ;)

Well, I have been trying this new service called http://about.me which is so awesome, I had to blog it!

Its simple: you have a bunch of online identities/presence, and about.me helps you bring all this in one place, with an awesome splash page style profile, that lets user access/view all your online content from one point.
