I have a toaster running on Android. It's pretty cool.
Finally, the Economist recognizes that Android is actually the world leader in smart phones.
I guess being over 1 year late is better than nothing.
Apple is relevant, but the constant overlooking of the reality of Android dominance is quite annoying.
Even the Economist magazine seems to be the last holdout for an Android app.
Common guys, the markets have spoken, please make a better effort at remaining relevant and up to date.
Thanks.
