I’m a New Yorker now, but I can still appreciate a good rendition of “California Dreamin’.”

Podcast of the panel I moderated at SXSWi. Great discussion and great audience questions.
“Another line of Gigabyte tablets, due in October, will be able to run either Windows 7 or Android, letting users choose when they start up the machine. That would give something to both casual Internet users who prefer Android and to business users who find Windows more compatible with Microsoft Office software, Ma said. Gigabyte has not decided which Android version to use, he said.”

Chock this one up to “sounds great in the lab, fails hard in practice.” Seriously, dual-booting a Mac or PC is a pain in the ass, can you imagine dual-booting a tablet? Lame.

“
The iPhone is growing at a pace of 85-100% each quarter. iPhone revenue is nearly doubling each quarter. After selling 39 million iPhones in 2010, Apple is going to sell more than 75 million in 2011, generating nearly $50 billion in revenue from a single device.
Google will probably report about $6.5 billion in total revenue when it releases its first quarter results later this week. Apple’s iPhone alone will very likely eclipse $11 billion for the March quarter. For 2011, Google is expected to report about $27 billion on the top line compared to the iPhone’s expected $48.2 billion in revenue. The iPhone as a business is nearly twice the size of Google’s entire operation. This is a financial reality rarely illuminated in these so-called “platform market share” articles where Apple investors are supposed to be “deathly afraid” of the Android operating system that doesn’t even create a fraction of the revenue Apple generates from the iPhone.
” —Fantastic analysis.
