Apple iphone Versus Google Android Mobile Phone – The Greatest Mobile Software Duel in ON!!!!

Mobile phone industry is now witnessing one of the most toughest duel that had ever occurred. Both the opponents are mighty and equally proven; premium quality innovative products are their trademark. Yes.. it is all about the latest mobile software war going on between Google and Apple!!! With Google Android OS adapted by more number of manufacturers, and also due to the wide acceptance of Google Android Mobile Phones, Apple has sensed their dreadful rival, and is moulding the latest weapon against them.

Android is a brand new Linux based operating system developed by Google. With the launch of T-Mobile G1 Android Mobile Phone, the maiden handset with Android OS, Apple sensed the warning shot. Apple iphone is still a hot-selling model even though it is released a couple of years back. The latest version of the OS used in Apple iphone is Apple 3.0, and it is a UNIX based Operating System. What makes Apple dread the Android Phones??? Let us have a look into it.

OS Comparison:

Android is the Linux based OS that provides separate user name and authentication to each and every single application in the mobile phone. This makes the android mobile phones stable like a brick. Even if a single system collapses or crashes in android OS, the other applications remains unaffected due to the separate authentication. However, this is not the case with Apple i-phones. In Apple 3.0 OS, all the applications are controlled by the single UNIX kernel, which results in the crashing of the whole system when a single app is affected.

Android is the project from Open Handset Alliance. The first and foremost advantage of the Android is the Open Source nature of the OS. In Android OS, the user need not bother about the compliance from the manufacturer; they can create their own apps and can even use the third party applications which are easily available in the internet. This is not possible in the case of Apple 3.0 OS. The user has to approach the App store to find compatible applications to their i-phone.

Similarities Of Apple i-phone And The Latest Android Mobile Phones

Both Apple iphone 3G and latest Android mobiles are not mere good looking touchscreen mobiles. Instead they offer good collection of features and applications to the users, that makes both of them quite popular. Both iphone and Android mobile phones gives smooth methods to navigate through the phones. All thanks to the shortcut icons in both the hi-end mobile phones!!! The touch sensitive screens are ultra-responsive and you can move the icons with a tap and hold movement or even with gestures.

Both the mobiles supports the most advanced networking options like 3G, Wi-fi, bluetooth, etc. to offer the best connectivity to the users. Apple as well as Google has offered a exclusive application stores for downloading applications to the mobile phones. However Apple’s “Appstore” can be used only by Apple customers. Since the android mobiles are open source, they can download apps either from the “Android Market” or directly from the internet.

Picture Messaging is possible in Google Android phones, Apple has also installed this feature in the latest OS3.0 version iphones. Android phones like HTC Magic and iphone shares touchscreen dialpad, favourite list, contact scrolling lists, etc. The switching over to loudspeakers and usage of bluetooth headsets are also quite simple in both the mobile kings.

Why Google Android Phones Are Better Than Iphones?

The major feature of Android mobiles to boast about is the open source operating system. Yet another sporty feature is the notifications, that allows the user to access the top status bar to set different notifications. A major advantage of Android Operating System is the superb integration with the Google products. One can find Google search, Google maps, Google talk, IM presence, etc. in the android mobile phones. These gadgets also gifts the most pleasant mobile Gmail experience to the user with the smart integration.

Google has also incorporated street level compass support in the android mobile phones to make them ultra-smart guides for navigation. With the help of the application “Breadcrumpz”, one can easily locate the destination point. In breadcrumpz the images with geotagging can be used to identify the destination point. Cool, isn’t it? One can get all sort of applications(the users can even make use of third party applications) for the android mobile phone, right from the application to determine the carbon footprinting to the application for cooking recipes. This reveals the versatility of the Google phones.

In android phones, three homescreens are available for the users to place the shortcut icons of applications. Moreover one can optimise the “virtual desktop” of this smart device by creating folders and placing shortcuts into the folders. One can even slide up the bottom centre tab that displays the shortcut icons when not in use. True Multitasking is the shining feature of Google phones. The android OS can support more than six OS simultaneously without any hassle.

The users can also make use of the quick access to the running applications by making use of the press and hold action in the Home Button. Another exciting part of Google iphone is the fact that only the presently using pop-up window will be clear in the display; all other windows will be blurred out so that your focus is not deviated from the current window.

The highly integrated keyboard in the android phone helps you to optimise and customise the icons in the way you need. The keyboard is designed so nicely that the user need not touch even once to operate the mobile phone if in-case the user is not interested in touchscreen. Trackball navigation and hardware buttons are yet another highlights of these gizmos to provide the best experience while browsing the phone. Extensive Google Integration is the best part of Android phones, if you ask me.

Iphones are still loved by the mobile maniacs…

Apple iphone is a hot selling product even after completing two successful years in the mobile industry. It is one of the most successful mobile phones in the global market, and Apple is constantly improvising the models to compete with the latest cutting edge models from the rivals. Apple iphone has not lost its glory even though numerous iphone killers are spawned into the market on regular basis. Samsung Omnia, LG Arena, Nokia Tube Mobile Phone, Blackberry storm, HTC Magic, there goes the lengthy list of the iphone killers.

What that makes the iphones so special is the svelte design that slips easily into ones tight fit Levis Pocket!!! The curvy finish and glossy nature adds appeal to this beauty. The mind-blowing media player incorporated in the Apple iphone is the one among features that Android Phones have not outwitted yet. The adept media player in iphone is capable of rendering excellent music as well as video data. The lack of multi-touch in android phones is yet another feature in which iphone has upper sway than the androids.

Although, the android mobile phones come with useful keyboard, the design of android mobiles are somewhat bulky due to the wide keypads. The headphone jack in the apple iphone is 3.5mm audio jack, and offers the best quality sound system. In the case of earliest versions of android phones the audio jack is still the proprietary one which needs a dedicated headset. Apple iphone comes with a liberal internal memory capacity (8GB/16GB)and an expandable memory capacity of upto 32GB. The android mobile phones(earlier versions) have only 2GB, which are more or less like peanuts compared to the 40GB/48GB memory capacity.

The Major Android Mobile Phones Released So Far

T-mobile’s G1 aka HTC Dream Android Phone is the first Android phone released in the global mobile industry. Following Dream HTC released a few more android mobile phones like HTC Touch Android phone, HTC Magic android phone, HTC Hero, etc. Samsung unveiled their first android powered phone as Samsung i7500 Mobile Phone, which will be more familiar as “Samsung Galaxy” for French people. It is told that Sony Ericcson’s android phone uses Android 2.0 OS. It is also rumoured that the consumer electronics tycoon, Panasonic, is also joining the race by 2010. HTC is going to release the next android phone named HTC Fiesta Mobile Phone.

With more developers jumping on Android OS, it is pretty sure that an android wave is going to hit the mobile market internationally.
