Is it Google or Apple???

   Week 12's reading touches on two very big giant that had made a very big land mark in the world of IT and technology. The two giant mentioned was none other than Apple and Google. They have come out with many new types of technology and had made a big difference in making our lives easier in many ways. Google has come a long way from just being an ordinary search engine to where it is now whereby they have created their own operating system

   In this weeks reading, Google's Open Source Android OS will free the wireless Web, it touches about Google's Android interface. It will be used in interfaces such as smart phone. As a competitive nature, Apple also came out with its creation of its own software used in one of their most famous creation which is the I-Phone. When both Smart phone android is compared with I-Phone. there are some prominentdifference in the interest rate of the society. Android is somewhat is more preferred due to to the reason that the applications are free. Besides that  I-Phone applications somewhat could only be used in I-phone only and cant be downloaded to other types of smart phone.

   However although the consumer prefer to go for the Android more, but it is undeniable the I-Phone has set its own bar for the smart phone series. Although there are other version of smart phone from different brands but I-Phone has its own position in its market. Aplle products aren't the easiest to use but end of the day, maybe the sophisticated nature blurs everyone's vision as it is a very advanced technology. The competition however doesn't just stop there as the market always has someone new emerging. the latest one could be will be the Blackberry OS.

   As in from a consumers perspective, i would strongly suggest that Android is a better choice. Although I-Phone becomes the new phone trend setter, but I-Phone is a very much closed and protected types of technology whereby only apple would be the place to look forward in case of anything. on the other hand Google gives away free android with an open garden of application. More over the growth of Google itself has amazed us all with an increase in market share. A more reliable and safer choice in a long term i would say.

   In conclusion, both Google and Apple are becoming better and better over the years with invention of technology that had bring us from nowhere to where are we now. However its better to know our stuff in and out first before making any decision. The android has somewhat in my opinion wins this race at the moment but this is not the end as there is more to come from both kingmakers.

  1. hi kiru!

    Indeed both devices have their specialty but dont you think google is the biggest winner? IF you ask me what is the common thing we can see in these two smart phones, I would say the Google browser. Google is now everywhere. Desktop, laptop, and even smartphones! Creative as they are, they even came out with apps like map navigator etc! Don't you think so? =)

  2. Hi Kiru,

    Want is not a brilliant idea from Google to expend their service to mobile internet. Due to that, now we can assess Google even when we are not on our computers.

    Using Android as a product to use their mobile internet is another brilliant idea. With better applications and also allowing users to do what they want with the phone unlike Apple.

  3. I won't call myself a apple fan boy, but I admit I have a soft spot for their products.

    I agree that Android is definitely winning this race in terms of what it has to offer, but what you said about apple having its own position in the market is also very true. Both of these operating systems are amazing - they have revolutionize phones work, integrating key functions into a small handheld device, mainly the phone function and the computer function, as well as an entertainment tool. They both are doing a great job improving and further enhancing the market with their awesome products.

    I guess at the end of the day, they both do almost the same functions, it really depends on what the user prefers and chooses to buy.
