The Androids are Invading the Smart Phone Market Near You

Are you amazed at all the smart phone choices, calling plans, and announcements when it comes to iPhones, Google Phones, Droid Phones, Blackberries, and clones? If so, you can join the club. We’ve been busy studying these things since they were on the drawing boards, and it’s hard to keep up with even spending 2-hours a day studying all the new happenings in the industry and all the reviews out there. In the end however, it is not the branding, marketing, or advertising which will determine the winners and losers in the market rather it’s you; the consumer, customer, and user.

Recently, a personal tech guru of the smart phone technology space noted in his weekly column some interesting insights into just how the smart phone market was heating up in 2010. In his article Michael Martin wrote a piece; “A Veritable Army of Androids Coming this Year,” as we was discussing how HTC and other companies were going to mass produce Google Nexus One like clones running the Google operating system, all with similar features and a $100s of dollars less than Apples 3GS iPhone of Google’s own Nexus One.

Michael Martin noted that we could see at least a 100 (that’s right 100, and he even listed the names of these smart phone models in his article) “android phone choices worldwide scheduled to be made available in 2010.” Amazing, so here comes the invasion of the Androids, wow – and although things are about to get even more complicated, at least all the prices will be coming down now.

Google Nexus One Versus Apple 3GS – Which Do I Choose

Boy these are both great phones, and this is the new technology here in the present period, both game changers in the smart phone space – no doubt about that. But which is better, or is it more of just a taste of preference? Well, on first glance you will note that the Google Nexus One offers a larger screen (3.7 inches), whereas the Apple has a 3.5 inch, so not too much difference there, but it is noticeable. And the Motorola Droid also has a 3.7 inch screen and it is very crisp. I’d say Apple 3Gs falls in that regard, but of course, that’s only one aspect, let’s discuss the rest shall we?

The resolution of the screen is the big key, that’s what makes the Google Nexus One my favorite, it’s far superior to the Apple 3GS, no comparison, hands down, beats it in that regard. Of course, Motorola’s Droid falls in between the these two on resolution and crisp’ness. And the NexusOne is much faster on the surfing speed, impressively faster actually. And when using the mapping software portion, well, the NexusOne rocks.

The One Gigahertz processor of the Google Nexus is a substantial difference to me, and it shows during navigation, and it allows the Nexus One to maintain the speed along with the resolution. The battery life and talk time of Google’s Nexus One is cool some 7-hours, I am told, although I have not tried it, a gal I met with an iPhone tells me she gets 4 and a half to five hours of talk time on her iPhone.

If I had to choose, I’d go with the Google Nexus one, especially as the 4G wireless becomes more available, because WOW, then it would be super awesome. In the meantime, I wonder how long it will be until Apple responds, and betters Google’s best? Let’s face it, this war for the best smart phone continues.

Android 2.0

Here’s a look at what’s available for developers in the new Android 2.0 API. Take a look at the video and see the cool new upgrades in Sync, Bluetooth and more. Android is going to take over the wireless world pretty quick, and I think companies running their own systems, like the iPhone, are going to be pushed out of the market as the application developers move away from those platforms to work on Android apps.
