iPhone Vs Android - Should You Have an iPhone or perhaps an Android Phone While there are many companies vying for smartphone supremacy, right now the 2 titans likely to head for dominance of the consumer smartphone arena. With apologies to Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, and Palm OS, Google Android and Apple iOS are the two best mobile operating systems at this time. Since Verizon is officially obtaining the iPhone, there have been a lot more questions on my blog about which phone is much better, the iPhone or the high end Android phones. That's a little more difficult question to answer as they have distinct advantages and so i thought I'd put together this short article to deal with some of the pros and cons offered by each mobile operating-system. samsung galaxy tabletChoices - Advantage Android If you are seeking a lot of different choices, then it's Android all the way. Using the iPhone, you have two choices, the 2010 model and last year's model. Every year Apple releases one new phone. It appears as though there's a new Android phone being released every couple of days - there are over 100 Android powered phones and that number has exploded. Android are available in inexpensive phones that are free with two year contract and $250 with 2 year contract. You can aquire a variety of screen sizes and pick any carrier you would like. Apps - Advantage iPhone If you would like the biggest choice of apps, then the Apple App Store has the advantage by about 200,000 apps. The Android Market isn't a slouch by any means, as it does have over 100,000 apps, it just has less. Most developers develop for the Apple App Store first because individuals are more accustomed to spending money on apps on the iPhone than they are on Android. The largest difference is in games - basically, you will find far better games available for the iPhone than you are on Android at the moment. Cell Phone Carrier - Advantage Android Since the iPhone can be obtained on two carriers in the U.S. you're not stuck with AT&T which is a positive thing for most people as AT&T has had a lot more than its share of network problems over the years using the iPhone. However, the iPhone still isn't available for Sprint or TMobile which both offer lowest cost plans than Verizon and AT&T therefore the advantage here goes to Android. hulu androidAdobe Flash (i.e. Most Videos) - Advantage Android With regards to watching videos in your iPhone, you are able to watch some and several Youtube videos. However, lots of videos are located elsewhere plus they all use Adobe Flash. Also, many online games use Flash as well if you love playing them, you'll probably possess some difficultly. Android Phones (that have Android 2.2 or later) support Flash and that means you can access all these videos and games making use of your phone. There's a workaround app on the iPhone called Skyfire than will work for some of these cases, but it is not as nice because the phone having the ability to support it also it certainly doesn't "just work" as Apple has tried to make their devices do. Ease Of Use - Advantage iPhone You probably don't want to obtain a degree in engineering to use your phone. While Android is comparatively simple to use, will still be not as intuitive as the iPhone. The iPhone includes a simple elegance to it. Android powered smartphones often appeal more towards the tech savvy crowd. Again, this can be a few preference. Much like with computers, many people like Windows plus some people like Mac OS. Go to the store and have fun with for both a little bit and see which appeals to you more but if you hate computers and barely understand how to turn one on, stick with the iPhone because it is simpler. Conclusion - Up To You As i might make an instance that either is much better, ultimately it will rely on what you want. Myself, I like my Android phone but I've played with plenty of iPhones and have found them fun and simple to make use of too. Get whichever one you like best. | | 11:00 pm |
