The same goes for a handphone as well. With so many brands and different OS available nowadays, how could one choose the right one? Having gone through the experience of using a Nokia, Samsung and Blackberry with different OS, the world of mobile is still progressing with the mobile market fragmented between the following software platforms: Palm OS (and newer webOS), BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android, and iPhone OS. The 2 most popular choices of today comparing would be an iPhone and the Android phone. How would one choose between the two?
My sisters were all using iPhones and I am using the Samsung Galaxy S running on the Android platform and we are always arguing on which phone is a better one. And since I have to make a choice between these 2, I have chose to explore the Android. I have come up with some winning points of using an Android:
Notification System: For iPhones, you have to act on a notification, and you can only see one notification at a time before the next one dismisses the previous one entirely. Android's brilliant pull-down window shade notification page, on the other hand is so wonderful that it makes you iPhone users go green with envy.
Voice-to-Text: You can respond to emails by voice, send long text messages by voice while you're driving with Android. From what I know, apart from voice-to-text in third party apps, iOS doesn't support voice-to-text at all.
Syncing: iPhones require users to plug into their computers and connect to iTunes to do all sorts of syncing and activating that could be more conveniently done wirelessly. Android phones support over-the-air syncing with Google account, and if you were to lose your previous Android phone, all you need is to simply enter your Google account into a new one and you can the phone running in no time!
Integration with Google Apps : If you rely heavily on Google tools like Gmail, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar, it just shows that Android does it better.
I was in Bangkok recently and I found a very interesting article about the iPhone 4 losing Web-Speed test to Android phones in Friday's Bangkok Post. It says that iPhone works slower in loading websites 84% of the time in a test than phones usung Google Inc's Android OS. Web pages took an average of 2.14 seconds to load on Android compared wurg 3.25 s on iPhone. Android became the world's best selling smartphone OS in the 4th quarter, outselling the iPhone two-to-one.
