The Rise And Rise of The Android

The rise of the android has been marked in recent years and it has not pretty much dwarfed the iPhone. That is something I really wouldn’t have predicted when Apple unleashed their super phone many years ago, times however do change and so does technology.

The Google operating platform has risen to power much lie the Nazis in Germany, exploiting our economic woe in order to present an affordable alternative to the more expensive iPhone.

The android operating system has been used by so many different technology companies because of the fact that it is open sourced and that means they can use it at no cost.

It has proved to be ingenious by Google and has caused the great smartphone swell of recent years. The Android works in pretty much the same way as the iPhone but for those who fear Apple then a valuable alternative is there.

They are cheaper and in my opinion look a little better than their main rival. We live in the internet age and all of these devices offer high speed internet access and that is fundamentally the greatest appeal of a smartphone but this article will highlight the appeal of the android type particularly.

Simple Alternative

The rise of the android can in part be attributed certainly to the fact that it is a simple alternative to the iPhone. iOS development has continued to increase and there is no doubting the platform is high class but the equally effective android version is very appealing to man.

It is very much down to what people want from their device and if that is something a little different than the iPhone then the Android is that device. Spend a little time researching and work out what particular model you want, that is the biggest positive of the Android, as the platform is open source, any mobile phone company can use it to power their phone and thus the variety is vast and wide ranging.

The variety is a brilliant positive for many people and in a word where innovation is rewarded the Android platform ticks a lot of boxes for so many people.

Android users have been able to reap the benefits of modern cross-platform development; you no longer need an iPhone to get all the best apps!

Cost Effective

The android is extremely cost effective and in a period of economic downturn, for many that is perhaps the greatest appeal. You can pick up a smartphone that does all the same things as the Apple alternative and that can in turn give you all you need phone wise as well as saving you money each month too.

Pretty Cool

They are pretty darn cool and look very futuristic. Aesthetics for many is a very important factor and therefore ensuring that your phone is the best looking it can be is appealing for many people. Spend some time researching what models are available and that in turn can help you with decision making process.

Buying a phone is a very personal thing and almost all aspects are down to you, so take your time and don’t just buy the first thing you see.
