There is an argument that makes Google Maps should remain on iOS."They (Google Maps) is a better application, surely phone app," said Schmidt.
In the year ahead, the competition Apple with its iOS and Google with phone app in Android will increasingly heated. To bulldoze Apple, Google will boost the presence of 1 billion smartphones and tablets based on Android.As
quoted from AllThingsD, Eric Schmidt, Google's leader, hoping that
there are more than 1 billion devices based on Android in the coming
year.
This,
he called, will strengthen its position in competition with Apple's
Android phone app called "the greatest competition in the industry".
Another strength of Android to fight Apple is all about the number of users, developers, and full support from hardware vendors.According
to Schmidt, is there are thousands of application developers
(developers) who developed based applications (OS) Apple, but Google has
more developers than Apple.Besides,
there are so many companies that have developed Android, such as
Samsung and HTC, Apple alone than in developing his platform.Android phones on the market too, according to Schmidt, has a total of 4 times more than Apple's phone. Five hundred million mobile phones are activated to date. By calculation Activation 1.3 million per day, an estimated 1 billion Android phones next year."We have never seen combat platform on this scale," Schmidt said as quoted by AllThingsD.According to Schmidt, the consumer is the most diuntungan of the battle between the two technology giants. Prices of products believed to be decreased in order to continue to survive in the increasingly fierce competition.Schmidt also issued a comment on the Apple Maps."Apple should continue to use (application) our map," said Schmidt.According
to Schmidt, Apple has decided to make their own map for a long time and
the Cupertino-based company is also considered to already know how
difficult it is to develop its own map application.
