Cellular phone developers for all of the major networks have started using the Android OS for their phones. You've probably already heard that the "Google phone" is giving other smart phones a run for popularity. It is certainly true that the Google phones are becoming more and more popular. This is probably because the phones that are now being released are being modeled after already existing and popular smart phones. Google has been paying attention to what the population wants and is trying very hard to give it what it wants. Here are some fun facts about phones that run the Android OS that you might not already know.
Did you know that Android OS users are not as likely to pay for applications as iPhone users are? We found a recent study that shows that half of all iPhone owners will pay for applications they can't find for zero cost. The same study shows that only about twenty percent of Android phone users will pay for applications. While this will probably change some when the paid application section of the Android market gets bigger, for now, iPhone users are less financially responsible than Android users. That might not seem like something to boast over but for some people it is very important! Typically, Android OS phones are more affordable than other smart phones. It usually costs at least a few hundred dollars to buy an iPhone or a Blackberry. At the same time, lots of the cellular phone providers are letting their customers take home the Android phones free of charge as a reward for renewing their contracts. So, without having to drop many hundreds of dollars, you are able to have all of the same smart phone options that other smart phone owners have. Helping people save money is a great way to shine brighter than the competitors. After all, there is no reason to spend three or four hundred dollars if you do not have to.
Right now there are rumors that say Google might be creating an Android OS that has memory card storage capability. This was one of the major points that the Apple iPhone had over the Google Android phones in the past. If this happens for the Android phones it will totally change the popularity index between the two phones. Don't be too surprised if you soon see Android phones that can accommodate a memory card that will make the iPhone's memory cards look quite lame. Google is well known for its level of competitiveness--they aim to be the brightest and best in all of their markets.
You can probably think of many reasons to choose the Android phone over the other smart phones that are available. The simple fact is that the Android OS is amazing. We don't say that just because we are fans of the OS, we say it because it is true! Updates to the Android system are released all the time and, because the system is based on open source, anybody can develop applications and upgrades for it. Android phones might not yet have the popularity that the other smart phones have, but this will be changing very soon. Soon the Google phone will, no doubt, become at least as popular (if not more popular) than the "traditional" smart phone models.
