Apple kills Chomp for Android

See? Even people like you are giving up on making any true statements. Poor little troll.

You might want to educate yourself on the word "fragmentation" before you use it as if you know the meaning.

See? Fandroid.

How am I a "Fandroid"? Is it because I corrected your ignorant error and uncovered the flaw in your statement?

Well if a ship is sinking, why would you want to remain on it?

Chomp is an alternative sms and mms app to use instead of the stock sms app. To be honest much better alternatives are freely available in handset and go sms ex for example,these two are far sticker,faster and all way more customisation and animation for users. Comp was very iphone in design and contributed way less options for users and as such its probably apt that it finds itself stuck entire on its

you forgot handcent. i think that one was the best out of all of them

Try reading the article for once. This has nothing to do with chompsms.

I think you're getting confused here. Chomp is an app discovery service.

51. Mxyzptlk posted on 29 Apr 2012, 13:37 1

You're just saying that because Chomp is now owned by Apple.

iPhone 4S + Chomp = iPhone 5 ? :D

Chomp is/was a search engine for the Google Play store/Android market and Apple App store searching for apps was easier on it and came back with better results Apple is going to integrate the Chomp engine right into it's App Store to make a better user experience searching the App store that is all.

34. andro. posted on 29 Apr 2012, 09:06 5

Handcent and go sms ex are far superior to chomp sms in design functionality and customization options,chomps quite limited in these aspects and seeing as iphone customization options are also quite low its quite apt it becomes stuck on its only

Something that Apple couldn't keep their hands off of, wanting a bite out of it... May be the next Apple logo???

31. Dustin posted on 29 Apr 2012, 08:57 1

Yes and no. I believe Apple is doing this because they're in dire need of a fresh look on the App Store. Hopefully, although I'm not expecting it will, the App Store will have similar features to the Android Market. I'd really just be fine with the ability to tell how many people have downloaded the app. But then again this could just be a functionality update, rendering my hopes...hopeless.

Think before you comment,if Google do that they will gradually lose their profit from ads.

25. groupsacc posted on 29 Apr 2012, 06:30 11

In the short run, yes you are right, Google will lose revenue from ads. But in the long run, it will definately impact iPhone sales. Especially if Goole pulls out Youtube, as it is the second most visited site in the world, and also because Apple does not support flash player. Google has the strategic capacity to do this. However Google's company motto is "don't be evil", thus I doubt they will use this "dirty" tactic.

39. TMach posted on 29 Apr 2012, 10:12 5

Presumably, all those wanting to use Gmail, Youtube, Google+ etc will then have to go without or buy an Android phone! Means no profit loss from ads afterall!! Hahaha

33. Dustin posted on 29 Apr 2012, 09:02 3

Lol that's kind of funny....I hope you've realized how much money Google makes by supplying iOS with Google services. But anyways, Apple pulls people with good style behind the curtain for something exciting **Siri**. I guess we already have a glimpse on iOS 6? That's my guess, though. ^-^

48. Pdubb posted on 29 Apr 2012, 13:29 2

the same Siri that uses search results from Google? Yeah Apple has a lot going on behind the curtain. The great OZ! You just be careful Scarecrow!

Google's business model requires as many users as possible to be using Google services. If they restricted that to only a certain subset of devices, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. In comparison, Apple's business model doesn't require as many people as possible using Apple services as they don't really generate much income from them. If you're using Apple services, chances are you've already purchased an Apple product, and that is what makes Apple money.

17. HugeTroller (banned) posted on 29 Apr 2012, 03:32 4

How is that so when its Apple's user that's benefiting? lol fail

18. theBankRobber posted on 29 Apr 2012, 03:41 11

I guess after Siri, apple knows they need to ether buy out company's or steal from them.

61. Johnny_Mnemonic posted on 29 Apr 2012, 16:02 1

I think Apple is better at stealing.

Google would take a massive profit hit by removing their services from Apple products. I doubt they're in a hurry to do that.

Please, only Apple will stoop to such a low level. Google won't resort to such a dirty move by removing Google services for iOS and force people into Android right?

47. Pdubb posted on 29 Apr 2012, 13:27 1

Yeah! That is why there is no YouTube app for WP7.

You are truly ignorant. There is no official Youtube app for WP7. There is metrotube and apps like that but there is no Youtube unless they released one this week.

Google's business model means they can't remove their services from iOS without taking a major hit to their bottom line. I think your post is overly dramatic however. Why not simply use another app recommendation service that does work with Android? It's not like Chomp was the only one...

41. VJo003 posted on 29 Apr 2012, 10:47 4

What?

45. frydaexiii posted on 29 Apr 2012, 12:18 9

Sure, billions in the first few days until Google confirms Google Services are not coming back to iOS before everyone is forced to switch to Android and Google earns their billions again, + revenue from more Android devices sold in the long run. But only Apple would stoop to that level of dirty tricks. Google, and pretty much every other company gives you the option to choose what you like, only Apple limits both their customers as well as other consumers to only one choice for everything, theirs by making their products incompatible with others.

Which other company created a whole new audio format just so you are forced to stay on their s**tty music eco system? Apple.

Every other company is now using microUSB, which is the only so called "smartphone" not using it? iPhone.

Sorry, but being a 30 year old dumb iFan isn't doing you any justice as well.
