Google's Android operating system has taken the world by storm (possibly) given the power of the system and its ability to work with the majority of hardware configurations. Due to their system hardware options Android has pushed Samsung in marks cell number one in the world, displacing Nokia from his reign of brand of cell number one in the world which lasted from 1998 until 2012.
So what did right Android to get here? Designers of androids made the greatest thing was seeing an opportunity. Prior to Android, the cellular market had main players operating systems of Windows Mobile, Symbian, Blackberry, and then came the iPhone.
Windows Mobile has never worked well as powerful as it was. Symbian never got the support necessary and never caught up. BlackBerry never progressed. The iPhone had captured the market fresh. The iPhone was built on the concept of an iPod with a cell phone on and quickly assumed the mobile world as that hot device.
Nobody cared that they were locked in the cell phone company, could not replace the battery, 2 G 3 G data service was well established, they had to use iTunes for everything, could not work with multimedia messages, had no physical keyboard, SD card memory could not be added, had to choose between 8 and 16 gbliquid damage indicators were placed outdoors and not in a protected area as the battery compartment does not notify any LED the tag price of $599, etc.; Some of these problems are today still in use on the iPhone, but none of that mattered if you wanted the latest and greatest entertainment device. The iPhone was not really functional for work and was tagged as the most unsafe device at the time. Of course, this has changed and it guys now include the iPhone in Enterprise Server services the most.
Creators of Android, the Open Handset Alliance led by Google, saw this and took the opportunity to fill the vacuum. A system of open source software that would be the most versatile ever built can be improved by the community of cell phone users. The Android system can be used by any developer. The majority of hardware will work. Google gives free system and pay with advertising. The Android system can use any phone manufacturer or cell phone company. This is in contrast with the locked iPhone and controls the system. These ideas laid the groundwork for the fierce competition between Apple and Google. Competition is good for the creativity, business and the end user.
The reasons for the failure of now Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile (not Windows Phone) has been a total lack of support, creativity and rest on their laurels. All these systems had a decent market percentage until the iPhone started its fall and Android made them obsolete.
Android in a fierce battle with iPhone to reign supreme and both do with their audiences in perspective. If Android wants to be dominate must observe the slow process of improvements that Apple has implemented since 2007 and making a daring jump in rapid and constant improvements for the better. Android not long focus on the addition of processor cores in an operating system that does not have the ability to read them, as discovered by Intel, but only put multiple cores in systems up to date, that will be really improves. Less than a distinction between the cell phone and Tablet PC operating systems to make the app store will be more functional for tablet users. Apple has done nothing but Microsoft say they have for Windows 8. Google should not play catch. Reduce fragmentation. Today developers are seeking a rate of 80% compatibility with applications. iPhone apps work on all iPhones. Android may have almost as many applications as the iPhone, but they cannot be used at all. For all its flaws, Android is the most powerful system with capabilities far beyond the iPhone, but Google has to put to work to keep it that way and improve the operation of existing systems. Current work with the Government of the United States to create a ultra safe Android phone is a great start.
Google do what it did in 2009. See the empty and fill it with real quality.
Hello, I am the owner and operator of http://www.cellularelite.com/. I am interested in getting information that customers can take a decision informed and not just blindly buy phones based on a biased opinion of clerks or sale contest. I am a boy of Windows Phone, but they have recommended Androids and iPhones-(which I do not sell) based on the needs of those who contact me. Please review my site and my FAQ. Thank you and thank you for making my relevant knowledge.
