Last week I was speaking on Android at SMX West an Internet Marketing conference in Santa Clara California just outside San Jose.

Keynoting the SMX West conference was Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, when Q&A was opened to the audience I asked him his vision of Microsoft in the mobile space going forward.

At the 1 hour 21 minute 50 seconds point in the Ustream video below I spoke to Steve Ballmer.

I first complemented the Windows Phone 7 which does look impressive although I believe Android & the iPhone will leapfrog it by the time it actually comes out at the end of the year.

Matt Cutts, the head of Google webspam, made official this week that he is leaving his iPhone to the Nexus One at least for 30 days.

Matt had the G1 as a Google employee Christmas gift back in 2008 and used it along with his iPhone but once the Google covered G1 mobile plan expired he shifted back to solely using his iPhone.

The picture above I took with him in the speaker lounge at PubCon South in Austin Texas, about a year ago, just before SXSW when he had abandoned his own G1 and later in the year his hair.

Android has affirmed it is the platform of liberty for adults as Apple again becomes the Big Brother determining what its iPhone users can handle.

Last week Apple with its undeclared rules are removing applications that are considered by THEM to be “overtly sexual content…there will be no more applications that are for any purpose of excitement or titillation”

The Android Market welcomed “titillation” this weekend alone with a PornHub, Strip Blackjack, and even a Sexy Feet app while adding “excitement” with the Google Earth application today (for Android 2.1).

There are already over 100 different Android phone choices worldwide scheduled to be made available in 2010 after the recent announcements at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt declared today at the Mobile World Congress keynote that Google and their hardware partners are now shipping 60,000 Android handsets each day.

That would total almost 22 million Android handsets a year which is in line with iPhone’s historical yearly sales.

I want to clarify last weeks post in the merging of the Android Green Movement with that in Iran as it insinuated a complete comparison of the Iranian regime and Apple.

A complete parallel of Iran & Apple would be absurd & display a gross ignorance to the plight of the Iranian people as well to the operations of Apple which would equate to the rant of a crazy cat lady or Michael Savage.

I am obviously not a fan of Apple while at the same point I am not necessarily diametrically opposed to everything they do in a knee jerk fashion.
