About Me

  • Hello you. I'm a 38-year old MSc student, studying Advanced Computer Science at Sussex University. I'm especially interested in Internet and mobile software, sensors and pervasive computing, user interfaces, and the process of developing great software.

    Before that I spent 11 years running Future Platforms, a software company I co-founded which makes lovely things for mobile phones, and which I sold in 2011.

    I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido and airsoft. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK, with two cats and a clown.

Hmm, so the Nexus outsold the iPhone globally in February? This tweaked my scepticism gland, painfully. Especially as the articles is itself a quote from a fairly shallow piece elsewhere, which itself is a quote from one distributor of devices.

So this looks to me like one online trader of mobile devices noting a difference in iPhone and Nexus sales (fair enough, I'd imagine most iPhones are sold by Apple or operators)... being quoted by another site - and in the process their "16% more Nexuses sold in February" being misquoted as "Nexus Outsells iPhone Globally".

I'm fundamentally a fan of the Nexus (and I use one as my primary phone myself), but I've yet to meet someone who's actually paid for one. I love what Google are doing to seed them amongst developers, but it'd be really nice to see some Real People using one.
