PC Pro writes: "Google has openly criticised the iPhone, claiming the device has a "lot of restrictions" and won't sell as many as Google's Android-based devices.
Speaking at the eComm conference in California, Google's group manager for mobile platforms laid into the iPhone's development potential. "There are just certain apps you can't build on an iPhone," said Rich Miner, claiming that applications can't run in the background when switching to a new application, and bemoaning the lack of support for multiprocessing apps. "There's a lot of restrictions," he added.
By contrast, Miner said Google's platform is based on openness: the company issued a SDK for Android at launch, while Apple only recently gave third-party developers to its device. "There are things I saw people doing with the first version of the Android SDK that it seems like you can't do with the iPhone at least at the moment," he claimed."

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
What google are expecting, but next-gen mobile phones is not an industry whereby you can dismiss something as not selling, when the business itself has not taken off, due to its obscenely large price-tags.
Maybe when the prices are mainstream, the sales arguments can start.
Bull**** he is just trying to promote the phones that run google's application. Standard practice in the tech business to is to talk bad about your competition now.
But the iphone looks pretty.
how much google hates microsoft and apple
Google > *
but they are becoming mainstream too just like apple and microsoft.
