Android vs Iphone

Android vs Iphone

This week in the wired magazine I was reading about the Iphone and its newest completion call the Android .The Android and the Iphone are very similar. The similarities are that they both have touch screen,applications,mp3 capability and you can also call people. The major difference is that the Iphone can run one application at a time. So if your want too play an game on your Iphone and simultaneously go on Facebook you cant, while the android you can so more business companies are going to be attracted to that aspect. Also the operating system is being created by Google, so the rise of this company is starting to scare people. First it was just an search engine now it has evolved into an music industry ( gives you direct links to bands and you can play songs off your Gmail account),phone operating system, and an online book store for the kindle.

The android and the Iphone are with out a doubt two extremely good phones.  The iphone has its advantages because of the applications with around 90,000 apps there’s plenty of choice but the new developers are finding it hard to put there apps up because Apple have rejected numerous ideas and also since there’s around 90,000 applications its going to be hard to get the exposure. I now this for a factor because some of my friends have an Iphone or Ipod touch which boasts the applications aswell. The  fact is that they all have similar applications. Tap Tap, Shazam, the Facebook app, etc they all have them so if you cant reach the customer with your app you will be put off. This is where the Andriod comes in. The android has a new Apps store with just 3,000 apps. So all the developers that cant make in at Apple will turn there attention to the Android market because they will get paid for  there services even if people dont purchase  there app; unlike apple where they only make money off when some one buys it. 

I think that google is becoming a dominate market force. It has beat Yahoo, Bing, and Ask on the search engine, it has taken the music industry and is starting to develop phone software. If I was in Microsoft or Apple, I would be scared for the fact that  Google could have the potential to start dominating different sectors. So instead of Apple vs Microsoft I feel that it has gone into a three way tie with Google so its an triple threat match. If Google starts expanding or making innovative ideas like the android operating system, or the online book store I feel that apple and Microsoft wont be apple to compete anymore.
