Schmidt: If Google Gets It Right, There Will Be An Android In Every Pocket (techcrunch.com)

The sentence is mathematically true and also completely useless. Either there will be an Android in every pocket, or not.


The sentence is excluding the possibility of Google getting it right while leaving some pockets empty.


I don't know how idiomatic that phrase is, but Schmidt's statement is a direct rip off of Micro-Soft's mission statement https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=microsoft+computer+in+...

Google is the new Microsoft, indeed.


This is ridiculous. I frequently have 6+ pockets when I leave the apartment, and there is no possible use-case for an android in every one.


I hope they are small phones. I dont want 6 Galaxy Note's in my pockets.


Or any one?
