iPhone vs Android
Which is the best mobile operating system? Well, a year ago , this would have been a senseless question to ask as the iPhone OS was so much above the rest in terms of performance and mainly the IPhone Apps.The case is however very different after the launch of the Android Operating system.The Android phones are a stiff and worthy competition to the IPhone. The Android is not just going to be a threat for the iPhone , but also the iPad, with a number of Android based tablets that is being launched.
Android can be a worthy competitor to the iPhone. The Droid devices provides true multi tasking and this is one feature people would like to see on their smart phones and certainly a tablet is not worth it if it does not support multi tasking. True that the iPhone OS 4 has multi tasking capabilities, but that too is very limited. good for Apple that they have provided some thought to the idea of multi tasking at least now.
Apple’s biggest advantage has been the thousands of iApps available through the app store. Apple controls this whole store and there is no dearth of applications in the app store. But ,the Android is fast catching up with the IPhone in this front also. Also, the users are able to use only the applications available through the app store.There are no such restrictions imposed on the Droid devices, and also large number of applications are being made for the Android devices.Also,with many prominent mobile phone manufacturers turning to Android OS, the number of applications could still rise. The number of Android apps is already around 100,000.Also, the Droid will support Adobe Flash. As hundreds of web sites still use Flash prominently, the lack of Flash support on the iPad may prove decisive. Android 2.2 is going to be released soon, meaning that Google is still trying to improve the OS. The Android 2.2 release will be the seventh platform released since the launch of the Android 1.0 in September 2009.The Android 2.2 will be faster and will also feature rich set of new API.
So which is the best OS for mobile phones and tablets? As of now, Apple leads the race but the “Droids” are fast catching up.With more and more manufacturers looking to make Android devices, as an OS for mobiles, the future of Android looks bright.
