You've Got AOL Mail And Android Apps

This week AOL announced its new mobile platform for smartphones that support HTML 5 along with free apps for Android devices. Surprising that AOL decided to make its leap into the twenty first century with Android rather than Iphones apps? Maybe not considering last month's claim by Google's Vice President of Engineering, Jerry Rubin, that Google is activating 160,000 Android devices per day.

I wanted AOL to be dead. Why can't it be dead?

(Howdy, Kay. Nice to see you back.)

Good sweltering afternoon to you Ms. Tracy. I can't give up my AOL. I'm a stubborn creature of habit.
Tracy Fabre Jul 23, 2010, 4:31pm UTC
Hot there? It was 101 yesterday here in L.R. and hovering at 98 today... which is where it's been for the last two months.

Stubborn, indeed. You and my brother may be keeping them alive!

I wondered who that other guy was :-)

I have a suspicion Android is going to see a real surge of interest now that the iPhone 4 has taken a PR hit over the antenna. Whether that hit is deserved or not, Google is actively pursuing the business market for Android devices ... that AOL would see this as a new way to target customers is interesting. It was, after all, one of the early ways to get streaming media on the net.

Glad to see you back! Try to keep in good cheer!

Welcome back.

Good to see you Kay! This is simply too much technology. As long as my old phone continues to work I'm happy. I'd rather keep a current laptop than phone.

I'm to impatient to learn all that new technology. Lol!

I won't use anything that has to do with AOL.

Never was a fan of AOL, but they stand a fighting chance with this - it's anyone's guess how successful it may be. There's always room for competition and since the newest iphone had a few glitches, who knows, it could give them an in.

Glad to see ya back:)

I saw that. I no longer have a cell phone.
Tina Coruth Jul 26, 2010, 11:59am UTC
I don't know. I wasn't thrilled with AOL - I referred to it as - Almost On Line. But then that was a long time ago before the cell phones started with the apps. I think they need to come up with some really cool stuff to get the younger generations attention.
