What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
#Google and #Samsung have the habit of making major announcements ahead of #Apple. Often it backfires and reminds people who is better.
#GoogleIO2015 is a two day event with not much to announce. #WWDC is a full week at the biggest venue they can rent.
We now know why #Wechat was featured at the #AppleWatch release event, they are the biggest mobile chat platform ready for the watch!
Still no web desktop support for iOS version of #Whatsapp, what are they waiting for? Of course, no #AppleWatch support either. Worth $19B?
#Pebble raised over $20m via #Kickstarter for their next watch, well done. #Apple must have spent many times more to develop their watch.
#Facebook is planning to use #Messenger as a platform beyond social networking and messaging just like what #WeChat is doing in China.
#TED is finally available on #AppleTV! Can it become the primary platform for watching TED videos?
First #Zynga left #China, now #Yahoo! Is it painting a bad picture for the Chinese IT sector? Or are they just not doing well here?
Sending money via #FacebookMessenger is a great feature. #WeChat has micro payment for a long time. Question is, who will pay card charges?
#Google is now curating their #PlayStore with app review process. They can no longer accuse #Apple for having a closed platform.
#Nintendo will be fine, they are so beaten down in the past 5 years or so. The new strategy will for sure boost its bottom line.
Broadly speaking, #Nintendo has been playing catch up since #Sony introduced first PlayStation. They have not been industry leader since.
