<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Josh Lowensohn/CNET)Netgear chairman and CEO Patrick Lo reportedly slammed Apple CEO Steve Jobs for his business practices on Sunday, and said Apple would have to change its closed system to compete in the future.Speaking at a lunch in Sydney, Australia, Lo reportedly said Apple would have to open its platform so it could compete withGoogle Android in the mobile space, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.&quot;Once Steve Jobs goes away, which is probably not far away, then Apple will have to make a strategic decision on whether to open up the platform,&quot; said Lo.The statement was directed at Jobs' decision to take a medical leave from Apple to focus on his health. There is no indication at this point that Jobs will not return to Apple.Lo also criticized Jobs' ego, which he said led to the public trashing of Flash. &quot;What's the reason for him to trash Flash There's no reason other than ego,&quot; Lo said.In an open letter posted last year, Jobs detailed the reasons he didn't feel Flash was the right technology for theiPhone andiPad. He talked about reliability, security and performance, as well as issues related to battery life and other technological issues that would negatively affect the iOS devices. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google  will reportedly start testing its near-field communication (NFC) mobile  payment service in New York and San Francisco stores within four  months, sources tell Bloomberg.The  service would let consumers to pay purchases with their  phones, assuming their phones are equipped with NFC chips like Googlea4a4s recent  Nexus S smartphone. Google has been thought for some time to be working  on an NFC payment system, so the news doesna4a4t come as a huge surprise.Ita4a4s worth noting though that just yesterday we reported that Apple is abandoning plans for NFC mobile payments in the upcoming iPhone 5. That means we likely wona4a4t see NFC in an  iPhone until 2012, which will give Google a head start of more than a  year on implementing the technology in phones, as well as building up a  mobile payment infrastructure in retail stores.The  sources say Google will install thousands of specialized VeriFone cash  register systems at retailers to allow for NFC payments. The service  will most likely be tied to Google Checkout, the companya4a4s online  payment service which is tied to a usera4a4s Google account.Of  course, therea4a4s no use creating an NFC payment system if there arena4a4t  any devices that can take advantage of it. Right now the Nexus S is the  only phone widely available with NFC support, but we can expect to see  it pop up in more Android phones later this year. Both Nokia and  Research in Motion have also said they want to create NFC-capable  devices, though ita4a4s unclear if those devices will appear this year.Google will face competition from AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon and T-Mobile, who have joined together to form the Isis mobile commerce network, which will take advantage of NFC technology as well.Calling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit,  where we&amp;'ll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing  the mobile industry today.
