I had originally written this post in Korean on my Korean blog; realized this might be helpful for others as well; so I'm basically translating my own blog post. I'm sure I can do a better job than Google Translation at least on this =D
Anyhow, many devices, many platforms, many OSs, many companies, many versions, many countries, etc. Should I say we're cursed or blessed by the Tyranny of Choice?
It's always good to put things in perspective; so I just picked out some cores from the big 3: Apple, Google, and Microsoft. All have been there and done that. With the ever-growing convergence of technology, platforms, cultures, countries, languages, on/off life, mobile/desktop, and content suppliers, what we're witnessing is a perfect-stormed-war in 2010. We're seriously living in an interesting time!
Just to add a twist to the picture, here is the list of countries represented on the chart: U.S., S. Korea, Taiwan, and China. The list was subjectively taken by me as an avid reader of Engadget, Gizmodo, GSM Arena, and TechCrunch, and sadly enough, I had to leave out some Asia-based companies like Sony and LG, simply because they don't seem to be as popular in this field as much as the ones aforementioned. At least, this list surely adds a reason for Japanese tech industry to go through some major revolution.
Any ideas to the chart above? I'll be diligent updating the list above for the next couple of days; so any input will be graciously taken.
