Bananana writes: Last week, Google said its Nexus 7 tablet is outselling Apple's iPad in the Japanese market, but the iPad is actually outselling the Nexus 7 at a rate of about 2:1. The finding was damning for Google: Its claim was based on a survey that only covered about 16% of the relevant retail outlets and discounted sales of iPads through Apple's own Japanese stores (all seven of them), Apple's online store, and its biggest two cell phone partners. According to the IDC, the real figure for the final quarter of 2012 is 773,000 sold iPad units, and 350,000 Nexus 7 units.

Why is this Score 5 - Informative? It is an Ad selling the app. I'm a Hong-konger and "Cantonese input" was never a problem. Someone please vote it down.

Not putting iOS 7 onto 3GS models is a smart move - it stops all those laggards from upgrading their OS, and forces them to start upgrading their hardware.

Really? I think the iOS7 on 3GS drives them to upgrade their hardware.

It is a stupid question. If MS was willing to do this kind of thing, it could have ported win32 and the windows GUI on top of linux. That way they would have a solid feature-rich O/S and compatibility with Win s/w.

Open APIs are about directing more users to their webs. Open source is about bringing developers together. Says, how can an open api replace an open source os?
