Asking Steve Ballmer on Mobile & Android at SMX West

March 9th, 2010 admin

Last week I was speaking on Android at SMX West an Internet Marketing conference in Santa Clara California just outside San Jose. Keynoting the SMX West conference was Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer , when Q&A was opened to the audience I asked him his vision of Microsoft in the mobile space going forward.

Earlier this morning we posted a hilarious video made by tinywatchproductions depicting an average iPhone user fanboy – the one who mindlessly gobbles up everything Steve and AT&T say and buys every iPhone just because it’s an iPhone.

Steve Jobs Vs Google
Steve Jobs. The name draws out very different emotions from  a wide range of people. Some see Jobs as an all knowing deity, who is made of golden ideas and innovation. Others view him as a communist controlling dictator who runs Apple with an iRon (get it?) fist, while at the same time distorting facts to downplay his competition. No matter...

Mozilla Firefox. Now, I don't really know what that name means to you, but to me, it means something very important: freedom. I remember discovering Firefox back in 2004, freeing me from the claws of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and giving me the choice of using a browser I liked as well as delivering an awesome experience in my old...
