MC+A

In a recent Tech Target article, Google Android OS on Notebooks, MC+A’s president, Michael Cizmar, who was interviewed for the article expressed his thoughts about the future of Android Operating System.

Michael’s Comments:

“I would say there’s room for another OS,” said Michael Cizmar, president of MC+A, a Chicago custom application development house that works with Google appliances and APIs as well as the iPhone and Windows Mobile. “There will be two platforms. One will be Microsoft, and one will be Android.”

“Android is very attractive to developers because they can use their skills,” Cizmar continued. “The iPhone
is still very closed and requires a special set of skills to develop for. The only reason you go there is because of consumer popularity.”
