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."
