How iPhones and Android Phones changed the way of living our life!

Hi, 

Being Mobile developer, I always think about different mobile technology which is emerging in such a way that is changing each individuals way of living. Today I am writing about the future of technology including mobile technology and How it has changed our lives.

Mobile phones

Past five years from now, there has been lot of smart phones invented by Nokia, Motorola, samsung etc. And these phones were only meant for communicating voice calls. The way of using smartphone devices changed when the first iPhone was unveiled by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, and released on June 29, 2007. After it was released it became the big hit in the apple store and sold more than a million of copies of iPhone.

Why iPhone Took the over Market?

1. And iPhone is really a smart phone to carry due to its great touch design.
2. An iPhone can function as a video camera (video recording was not a standard feature until the iPhone 3GS was released) and as a camera phone, 
3. It can also be used as a portable media player as iPod touch. 
4. It has rich Internet client with email and web browsing capabilities. 
5. Being a phone one can send texts and receive visual voicemail, and has both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.
6. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen which was awesome feature at time time, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one. 
7. Various third-party as well as Apple application software is available from the App Store, which launched in mid-2008 and now has over 500,000 and more "apps" approved by Apple. These apps have diverse functions, including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, security and advertising for television shows, films, and celebrities.
8. The most demanding apps for iPhone in iTune Store are Games.

Other Smartphones on their way

After the huge success of apple many mobile cell manufacturers tried to release different mobile device to compete with the iPhone but none of any smartphones where evolved who can compete with iPhone. Windows Phone had failed many times due to its poor software abilities and Nokia was only the cheap smartphone who could give best model to the smartphone users. But touch mobile for average users was still dream as iPhone was not affordable by the average users of developing countries. 

Android Smartphones to Lead

Android is an operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google.  After Google acquired Android Inc. in August 2005, it made the android OS and open source and can be used by different companies for manufacturing smartphones following certain rules and regulation.

After android OS was made open source many Companies started manufacturing the smartphones with Android OS including HTC, LG, Toshiba, Samsung etc which led to the production of cheap Smartphones with different capabilities like Touch Screen, Internet Browsing, Access for android Apps in Android Market etc. 

Now, you can buy android smartphones with different capabilities according to your price plan from Cheap to Expensive one. These phone has taken so much market share and is only the top competitor with the iPhone.  These Android devices are growing in all developing countries too.

Consumers of iPhone Vs Android Smartphones

The iphone targets the users from developed nations like, US, Canada, UK and different EU nations. Since, iPhone is pretty expensive, a developing nations like ours can hardly offer these devices in mass unit. But the android smartphones audiences are wide. Since these devices are cheaper than iPhone and  provides not same but fairly good touch interface like iPhone, developing nations would be the targeted consumers for these devices. 

Since we have these highly rich smartphones in our hand, we can now perform all the web based interactions like net surfing, checking your emails etc can be done via Mobile Web. And whole world is shifting to the mobile version of web and internet which we call it "Mobile Web". Me too use most of time mobile for surfing, checking emails and facebooking in my Nokia E63 smart phones. You can use your mobile anytime / anywhere regardless of your place, any time because you use you cell wherever you go and it will always be with you.

Conclusion

So, don't think that today's smartphone is only of voice call and sending text sms. It can used for various purposes. What you do in computers for surfing internet can also be done in these smartphones. If you are not developer then you might not need computers anymore, coz everything can be and will be possible to done via Smartphones. Think about those possibilities and just imagine what can you do with your mobile phones. Good luck to all with smartphones.
