In terms of popularity (which you know already if you keep up with mobile phone news), the Android OS is quickly starting to match the iPhone and Blackberry systems. This is partly because many different phones utilize the Android OS. It could also be because the Android system is always being worked on and upgraded so that it has finally started to be competitive against the other smart phones that are being sold. Unlike the iPhone and the Blackberry (the Android phone's major competitors), the Google phones are highly varied and come in many different styles with different levels of software extensiveness. Here is some information about the Android and the Google phones that you might find interesting.
Advertisers are more likely to advertise their wares on phones using the Android OS. This really shouldn't be surprising. The Google advertising network is extensive and spreads to all corners of the web. Are you really surprised to learn that advertisers would want the same extensiveness afforded to them on a mobile level? Google is known all over the world for its availability for advertising. So do not be too surprised if your phone suddenly starts displaying ads from time to time.
The more time passes, the more Android sales out perform iPhone sales. In six states the Android OS phones outsell the iPhone by quite a lot! Unfortunately, the study might be skewed by the fact that those six states are more rural and probably sell more Android phones because the states don't have very good AT&T service. The iPhone is currently only available through AT&T so that might have something to do with the numbers. If AT&T ever loses the iPhone exclusivity contract those numbers might change and the study will have to be redone.If you are not thrilled with the iPhone handset that is pretty much too bad. If you aren't a fan of the Blackberry headset there are a few other basic options available to you. If you don't like your current headset on your Android phone you have a bunch of other options to choose from. If you want to have a lot of different choices you'll want to choose a Google phone. You will have these choices because all of the major phone manufacturers are starting to adopt the Android OS for their phones so, no matter what kind of handset you like, you'll find a Google phone that fits it.Many iPhone chose their phone because they were familiar with the brand name. They purchased the iPhone not because of features or functions but because it was created by Apple. Apple's overall fan base is perhaps larger than some other brands. Consumers of Android OS are not yet as committed to their product. They will most likely choose a phone because of it's pricing or technology. Loyal iPhone users will recommend their phone to everyone they talk to about cellular devices. Android users lack the zeal for the product to recommend others use it too.Believe it or not, Linux is the inspiration for the Android OS. People who do not want to use Windows or the current Mac OS use Linux (an open source alternative). There are lots of rumors to sort through about why Google wanted the OS so much. Just about everybody knows that Microsoft and Google have a long and established rivalry. Are you really so surprised to learn, then, that Google would be so anxious to get its hands on a system that would be a major rival for the Windows OS? Another bonus to using a Linux system means that anybody can develop new versions or uses for the system. This helps keep operating costs low and profits high.
The Android OS was created to enhance the Open Handset Alliance. Many companies are working together to update and advance the operating system on a continual basis. Grabbing the majority of press interest gives Google the appearance of being the largest company but there are others with the same interests. There are many companies in different locations around the world working with a variety of mobile providers. This in fact has helped the universe recognize the Android OS as a cellular operating device. Many users will single out the Android OS only for it's open source and ease of development.
The nice thing about the Android OS is the way it is able to keep up with a market that is known for evolving quite rapidly. Not all other wireless OS developers can say the same. When you think about how fast the cellular market changes, knowing that your OS creator is staying on top of things should be a great comfort. After all, you don't want to be stuck with a phone that is obsolete for most of your contract time with your cellular provider! With so many options available, who do you want in your corner: the versatile and affordable or the stuck in the mud and expensive?
