- Steve Ballmer hadn't said that Apple had "sold more iPads than he would have liked and that "Microsoft-powered tablets are 'job one' urgency." - We didn't know that Google could remote uninstall applications from any Android phone using a "kill switch." - The UAE had not turned off BlackBerry Enterprise Services within the country. - Motorola was looking very sick indeed, but is now looking much healthier thanks to the Droid and Droid X. - MeeGo had not been announced (and as of the time of writing is not substantial enough to include in this book). My prediction, for what it's worth, is that this will get traction in spaces like automotive as opposed to slate or phone factors. - Microsoft announced, launched, and killed a device called "Kin." To give you some idea of how much money is being thrown around, Microsoft attributes US $240 million of writt- off monies to Kin. That's not small change. In fact, this book has been difficult to write because of the velocity of all of this change. I'll be forever grateful to the team at Apress for managing to corral it into the place where, I hope, it's helpful and relevant to you, in spite of this almost constant upheaval in the market.
