iPhone Vs Android

AT&T has the iPhone and until just recently the intelligent phone Goliath was king of the castle. Back in late October, Verizon Wireless unleashed the Motorola Droid, a device that runs on the android platform. Another Android telephone gaining a great deal of hype is the Nexus 1 by Google. Apple really went soon after Google with a patent lawsuit. It is no secret that Apple's Steve Jobs and Google CEO Eric Schmidt are not fairly fond of one an additional. The Google CEO was asked to step down from the Apple Board and an Anti-trust investigation was began. Schmidt said he wanted to "Kill the iPhone" and Jobs to offense to that saying something along the lines of,

"We didn't enter the search game, they entered the phone game so they clearly want to kill the iPhone."

So the war of words had begun. The Google Nexus One is already accessible on the T-Mobile and AT&T networks and will be on the market for the Verizon network in the second quarter of 2010. With Apple becoming the initial player in the touch screen mobile device arena there hasn't been a worthy adversary till now.

The new Android platform is growing by leaping and bounds everyday and several mobile app developers are generating iPhone apps but also latching on to the android platform. 1 of the drawbacks to the Android platform early on was that the Apple App Store dwarfed that of Android but more than the recent months extra and a lot more Android apps are becoming on the market and Android is really taking a decent portion of the marketplace back from Apple.

Here are some comparisons in between the technologies.

Android:

Operating system: Android OS that utilizes a modified version of Linux kernel. Originally developed by Android, Inc. and recently bought by Google Enables developers to write managed code in Java. Makes it possible for users to multi-job.

Phones offered on the Android platform: Motorola droid, HTC Nexus 1, HTC Eris, HTC Hero,HTC Tattoo, MyTouch 3G, LG Eve just to name a couple of.

iPhone:

Operating program: iPhone OS-Derived from the Mac OS X, shares the Darwin foundation. The OS has four abstraction layers, the core OS layer, the core services layer, the media layer and the cocoa touch layer. The OS makes use of less than500 MB of the device's memory. Unable to multi-task.

Phones accessible on the iPhone platform: Apple iPhone

From just looking at these stats, I believe the Android Platform is going to be the next huge thing with smart phones. The iPhone just seems so locked up and controlled. I know you can "jailbreak" the iPhone but who wants to do that to their device? I truly like the Nexus One, it has a sleek design and has the ability to multi-task. I know the apps are not to level of the iPhone just yet, but give them time and I'm sure they will be extra than worthy in a year or so.
