Eric Schmidt, fost CEO al Google si actual presedinte al consiliului de administratie al companiei, a vorbit ieri intr-un interviu acordat Bloomberg despre Google si competitorii companiei pe care a condus-o. Intrebat ce parere are despre cozile lungi din fata Apple Store-urilor din California in conditia in care Android-ul este cel mai utilizat sistem de operare mobil de pe glob, Eric Schmidt a declarat ca Samsung avea produse precum iPhone 6 inca din cursul anului trecut.
How do you feel, in the last week when you drive by any Apple Store, San Francisco, L.A., New York, and there are people lined up around the block? So even though way more people carry Android phones, how does Apple have that desire factor? Laughter. I’ll tell you what I think. Samsung had these products a year ago.
Mai mult decat atat, Schmidt sustine ca intensa competitie dintre Apple si Google aduce numeroase beneficii pentru consumatorii din lumea intreaga prin prisma produselor lansate de catre ele. El a evitat sa spuna daca Google a lansat produse mult mai inovatoare decat compania Apple in ultimii ani, insa este de parere ca aceasta concurenta dintre ele va da nastere la o evolutie accelerata a tehnologiei, atat in ceea ce priveste terminalele mobile, cat si in ceea ce priveste sistemele de operare sau serviciile de internet.
I would say that this brutal competition between Apple and Google over Android and iOS has enormous benefits for consumers worldwide. If you look at the innovation on the Apple side and on the Google side, that competition which I think is the defining fight of the computer industry today it benefits globally at the billions of people level.
