The growth of the Android Market store is extremely rapid. If I remember correctly, the Android Market catalog may overtake the Iphone store by coming September. G. Guido D.

Of course, it hasn't happened yet, that's speculation. But, that's what they are predicting. -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terrell Jones Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 2:23 PM To: support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: New product management I did not know that Android will soon surpass the iPhone.

However, I should like to point out that the phrase "takeing the World by storm" that I have often used, refers to the Android platform as a whole, as it is currently the fastest growing mobile environment in the world, soon to surpass the iPhone install base.

And this new product is expected to "take the blind world by storm!" :D It will have an Android platform, which means any programmer who works for Google could essentially write Aps for the Orion, although I think Android is a pretty simple language compared to Python, so more people will be able to program aps for it. It should be about as long as 1.5 Braille+es and thinner. And it will have all the capabilities of the Braille plus, plus some! The only things a switch-over user will have to deal with is not having a mechanical voice on the Orion and the long size. (And based on its name it will be red!) These are conclusions based off of Levelstar's tendencies and info that has already been given on the Orion.
