Beautiful ladies love Apple's iPhone. And devices featuring Google's Android
operating system are reserved for geeks.
That's according to Frank Meehan, founder and CEO of global handset
manufacturer INQ, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa.
"If you go to a nightclub in any city in the world, the pretty girl has an
iPhone or a BlackBerry," Meehan told Mashable at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain. "She doesn't have an Android phone. She has no emotional
attachment to an Android phone. It's too complicated. It's a geek device.
It's all wrong."
That statement is a bit ironic because London-based INQ recently released
the Cloud Q and Cloud Touch handsets, which both run on Google's Android
operating system and are designed for Facebook fanatics.
Despite releasing the new Android handsets, Meehan doesn't appear to be
enamored with Google's platform.
"Android manufacturers are all just focused utterly on the tech, because
they're all hardware guys," he told Mashable. "They don't get software. They've
tried to outdo Apple with hardware, but the problem is the customer doesn't
care."
