No One Wants the Google Phone Verizon Won’t Sell
Here’s one possible explanation for Verizon’s decision not to sell the Nexus One: Consumers don’t want it.
The phone — built by HTC, with lots of guidance from Google, which sold it directly from its Web site — created just two percent of all the wireless traffic generated by Android handsets in March. That’s according to new numbers from mobile ad company AdMob.
The mobile ad company doesn’t hazard a guess as to the Nexus One’s actual sales. But the puny market share does sync up, at least directionally, with an earlier report from Flurry, which guessed that Google (GOOG) had sold a mere 20,000 units in its launch week in January.
And as VentureBeat’s Paul Boutin notes, it’s hard to accuse AdMob of an anti-Google bias, given that it’s going to be a Google-owned company if the feds cooperate.
AdMob does say that Google’s Android OS now accounts for 25 percent of all smartphone traffic, up from 19 percent in December. And it says Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone OS is at 37 percent — down a bit from the past few months but a point ahead of its December numbers.

Apple to Adobe: I Know You Are, but What Am I?
Adobe’s caustic blog post announcing the company’s decision to scrap efforts to bring Flash to the iPhone and iPad evidently irked Apple (AAPL) enough to elicit a rare public comment from the company.
Spokeswoman Trudy Miller dismissed Adobe’s (ADBE) claim that Apple wants “to tie developers down to their platform, and restrict their options to make it difficult for developers to target other platforms.”
“Someone has it backwards,” Miller said in a statement given to News.com. “It is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe’s Flash is closed and proprietary.”
Apple rubber, Adobe glue…

Wall Street Loves Netflix on the iPad. Maybe a Bit Too Much.
Perhaps it’s time to rethink that one, argues Barclays Capital’s Douglas Anmuth. The analyst has downgraded Netflix (NFLX) for primarily technical reasons, but along the way, he makes a good point about the company’s well-received app for Apple’s (AAPL) new gadget: It’s pretty awesome, but it may not generate many subscriptions for the movie rental service.
Why? Because Anmuth thinks just about everyone who has an iPad already has a Netflix subscription.
Harbinger Bets That Palm’s Hand Is Better Than You Think
That’s the thinking behind hedge fund Harbinger Capital’s bet on the troubled smartphone maker: The New York-based investment group disclosed today that it has purchased 16 million shares of Palm (PALM). That’s a little less than 10 percent of the company, which is actively looking for buyers after flailing against Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, Research in Motion’s (RIMM) BlackBerry and Google’s (GOOG) Android.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filing detailing Harbinger’s investment doesn’t actually have much in the way of details. But it appears that Harbinger purchased its stake on or before April 12, the day news surfaced that Palm had hired bankers to shop the company.
If Harbinger sounds familiar to you, it may be because it’s one of the funds that bet on the New York Times (NYT) a couple years ago. That didn’t work out so well, but Harbinger was still up more than 45 percent last year, Reuters says.

Parallels Zips Past Fusion in Running Windows on Macs
For instance, while I am writing this column on a Mac laptop in the Mac OS, using the Mac version of Microsoft Word, I am also simultaneously running the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Outlook—which aren’t available for the Mac—in Windows, on the same machine. I can switch back and forth among these programs with ease.
Now, the two most popular software products for accomplishing this feat, Parallels and VMware Fusion, have been updated to run faster, and to support the latest versions of the two operating systems, Apple’s (AAPL) Snow Leopard and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows 7. Each costs $80 and requires a Mac running an Intel processor.
