Read MoreHas the Window Closed for Android?
Android’s anticipated growth comes as mobile users are rethinking their priorities, slashing their telecom budgets and moving to prepaid. As J.P. Morgan analyst Mike McCormack noted last week (as he downgraded AT&T and Verizon), mobile is undergoing “deteriorating wireless fundamentals, specifically in the higher value postpaid subscriber base”—i.e., smartphone users. If cost-conscious consumers don't respond to Android's late-year push, the platform may not have another chance.…

So how could the hottest gadget in wireless get any hotter? By conquering business users. And that may be next, if Apple's latest marketing push is any indication.…
Read MoreAnalyzing the App Store Playground
Make room for another player on the application-store bandwagon. Verizon this week said it is building a storefront for its Hub, a device designed to serve as an Internet-enabled wireless device for the kitchen counter. The carrier joins countless others who offer -- or plan to offer -- app stores, and plenty more are on the way. Apple, whose App Store is nearing the 1 billion-download mark, has dramatically proven the need for a new distribution model for mobile content. But as carriers, OEMS and a host of others join the craze, the big question is, who can catch Steve Jobs?…
