Angry Birds creators: Apple still does mobile apps best

In a recent interview, Peter Vesterbacka of Rovio (the makers, if you haven't heard by now, of Angry Birds) says that from a developer viewpoint, Apple is the platform to go with. "They have gotten so many things right," says Vesterbacka, "and they know what they are doing and they call the shots." He says that Android's issue isn't so much about device fragmentation as it is "ecosystem fragmentation" -- by spreading itself out so much, Google's smartphone OS has "so many different shops, so many different models" running that it's tough for developers to find their own place in all of the chaos.

Vesterbacka also makes the point that much of the Angry Birds success has come simply from marketing. His two steps to succeeding on the App Store are first to "create a great app," and then to "get the message out." He repeats that a few times -- Angry Birds itself is definitely a solid game, but part of the reason that Rovio enjoys such success is their effective marketing and reaching the people who are interested in buying their game.

You can watch the full video of Vesterbacka's interview with Google after the break. Personally, I think a lot of the success that Angry Birds has had is a "right time, right place" kind of thing. That's not to take anything away from Vesterbacka and Rovio -- his insights are certainly dead-on and he clearly knows what he's doing, and the company deserves all of the success it has earned. But with a platform as big as the iPhone, there was bound to be a killer app at some point, and Angry Birds is definitely one of those.

Google iTunes Alternative, Google Music, Coming by Christmas 2010 Read: Google iTunes Alternative, Google Music, Coming by Christmas 2010?

Apple has been constantly developing iTunes over time and turned it into a must have application for both Mac and non-Mac users. That’s probably why Google is interested in building its own music store in order for its Android customers to send more money towards Google instead of its competitors.

According to Reuters Google is currently in talks with the music labels in order to create its own music store that will give Android users access to music downloads and online streaming. It looks like Google’s own Vice President Andy Rubin is leading the talks about the future Google Music (actual name still pending) service, although Google will probably not confirm any of this yet.

But the new Google Music service, which will probably come with music in the cloud offers too, thus bringing music streaming besides music downloads to consumers, is coming by Christmas 2010 so we’ll definitely be interested to see how Google will try to make a name for itself in the music business.

Considering that the Android business is currently thriving, Google will probably have plenty of customers lined up to try the new Google Music service at least initially so they’d better come up with a worthy iTunes rival. The question is, will Google be able to launch a totally new digital music service by December 25? Some Android users are surely iTunes users too so it will be interesting to see if they’ll make the switch once a Google Music service becomes available

Record labels also seem to be very interested in Google’s new endeavor as apparently the fact that Apple controls an important share of the digital music market is worrying at least some of them. We’ll be looking forward to see Google’s progress in this music adventure and, hopefully, the next Android OS version will come with some Google Music on board.

BOKU In Talks With Google & Apple For Possible Acquisition Read: BOKU In Talks With Google & Apple For Possible Acquisition

Mobile might soon overtake traditional means of accessing goods and services on the Internet (i.e., computers). In some markets, like Korea and Japan, mobiles are the preferred means of accessing information and buying things online (and even offline). Google and Apple are aware of this, and are likely looking into acquiring a mobile payments company.



BOKU, a San Francisco-based startup is reportedly in talks with both Apple and Google for a possible merger, acquisition or partnership
. Discussions are currently in early stages, but BOKU execs are said to be in high-level discussions with officials from both companies, which signals a possible bidding war between Apple and Google that might run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The company is seen as an attractive target because of its partnerships with carriers in the US and around the world. BOKU claims a market of about 1.6 billion mobile users. BOKU recently partnered with AT&T for a system that lets users buy apps and media just by entering their mobile number instead of bank or PayPal details.

Both Apple and Google are in intense competition for dominance in the mobile market, with the iOS and Android, respectively. iOS has gained a sizable market share, but the newer Android is quickly catching up.

Let’s see how this pans out. Hopefully, Steve Jobs will not have another fit if Apple doesn’t get to buy a company it wants, like with the botched Bungie offer.

Some of Apple's new MacBook Airs exhibiting issues with logic board, display

Early adopters of Apple's new MacBook Air are reporting a variety of issues, including faulty logic boards, display issues and kernel panics, after two weeks of usage.

Several discussion threads on the Apple Support website detail user trouble with both the 11-inch and 13-inch late 2010 MacBook Air models. In one thread, users report flickering and freezing issues, as well as vertical lines and odd colors. Another thread details trouble with the ultra-thin MacBook's new Instant-On feature.

Apple released a MacBook Air software update on the day of its release. The update resolved an issue where the system becomes unresponsive while playing a movie trailer in iMovie, as well as a problem where the system becomes unresponsive after waking from sleep when an external display is connected. However, several of the users reporting display issues on the Apple Support forums are still having trouble after installing the update.

One user posted a video to YouTube depicting the flickering screen issue.


Editors at Cult of Mac report having experienced both the video problem and a more serious kernel panic. According to the report, an 11-inch and a 13-inch MacBook Air model have both displayed a kernel panic when attempting to wake from sleep.

Serenity Caldwell of Macworld has also reported issues with the MacBook Air display, noting that the Air's display has turned a variety of colors: gray, tan, gray-black, and blue. Caldwell consulted an Apple Genius, who suspected "the Air's logic board might possibly be at fault."

Apple unveiled the latest MacBook Air models at its "Back to the Mac" event on Oct. 20. Sporting solid state flash storage and instant-on capabilities, the MacBook Air is "the future of the notebook," according to Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs.
