"Android is ahead of the iPhone now," Schmidt reported to an visitors of techies and driven business owners at the LeWeb convention here.
He made his
report to a room unfolding at the appears with iPhones, iPads, and Apples, and
the visitors met his words with a moment of stop that recommended some doubt.
So Schmidt elaborated on how he was measuring: "unit amount, Ice Treatment
Meal, the price is lower, there are more companies."
Android is
indeed a good results that you can buy. But one big listlessness compared with
iOS was very visible at the conference: becoming the top priority for
developers. Note-taking specialist Evernote today reported a new app called
Hello for monitoring people--for iPhone only so far. And when news reader
Flipboard reported its growth from the iPad to the iPhone, Primary Management
Robert McCue declined to even say whether the organization was functioning on
an Os cell cellphone edition.
"We've been focused on
iPhone," McCue said. And about Os cell cellphone, he said only,
"We'll see."
Schmidt
believes the high variety of Os cell cellphone phone deliveries will win out,
though, with the release of Ice Treatment Meal, aka Os cell cellphone 4.0.
"Ultimately,
application companies are driven by amount, and amount is popular by the open
approach The search engines is getting. There are so many companies wanting to
produce Os cell cellphone cellular phones around the globe," Schmidt said.
"Whether you like Os cell cellphone or not, you will support that
foundation, and maybe you'll even produce it first."
One
Android-toting visitors member said he was disappointed to see iOS applications
defeating Os cell cellphone editions to promote. But in piece because of Ice
Treatment Meal, "my idea is that six months from now you'll say the
opposite," Schmidt said.
About 200
million Os cell cellphone cellular phones have gone into use so far, with
550,000 new ones being triggered daily, Schmidt said.

One of the
persistent Os cell cellphone criticisms is the concept that it's an iOS knockoff--an
concept that incensed late Apple CEO Bob Work. Schmidt wouldn't thoughts on
whether Os cell cellphone ripped iOS characteristics, but he did offer his
stock avoid about the issue: "Android was established before the iPhone
was."
Success in
Os cell cellphone is central to Google plans. Although it gives the operating
system away for free, it works as a procedure for the organization to get its
solutions into individuals hands in the hot mobile-technology region. Those
solutions include not just search, but also Googlemail, The search engines
Software, Google+ The search engines Music, and The search engines Charts.
"All
the interesting new applications are going to be some combination of public,
cellular, and regional," Schmidt said. And it's not a fad, he said:
"Social, regional, cellular has been true for people for at least 10,000
years, so I don't think it's going to go away any time soon."
Ice
Treatment Meal will help The search engines, in piece because it's got greatly
bundled characteristics for giving many solutions.
"We
began off thinking cellular phones were computers. We neglected that they were
about interaction," Schmidt said.
Ice
Treatment Meal has just began shipping on Samsung's Whole world Nexus
cellphone, which is not yet available in the United States and many other parts
of the world.
