Halftime—apple vs. Droid: jon najarian's better smartphone trade

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told a Dutch newspaper that Google's Android operating system will become the dominant smartphone platform thanks to its features and mass appeal. Options

trader Jon Najarian thinks it has already happened. "I love Apple ... but the issue is, [with] the Android, there's just a lot more platforms than there are for the Apple

operating system," said Najarian, co-founder of optionMONSTER.com. "It only makes sense." Najarian thinks both Apple and Research In Motion account for roughly 25 percent of

all smartphone operating systems. Android, however, is around 36 percent after having started the year at roughly 14 percent. WHAT'S THE TRADE? "What's great for Android is

great for Google," said Najarian, adding that he would buy GOOG because it's the "purest" play on the Android device, even topping Motorola . --- TRADING THE GLOBE Stocks
