Android
is a mobile operating system which was developed by Android Inc and later the
firm was purchased by Google. Now, Android is aiming to take the greater market
share of cell phone operating systems than any other cell phone. Right now, the
leader in the market is supposed to be the iPhone, however people are quickly
moving towards Google Android. According to an estimated figure, the market
share of iPhone will be captured by Android, by the end of 2012. This is due to
a simple reason that Android cell phones will be manufactured and supported by
every cell phone company and the network providers too, whereas iPhone was only
manufactured by Apple. Moreover, the Android phones are present in different
prices and ranges.
Recent
statistics for a website showed that more traffic is attracted by the Android
phones as compared to the iPhone. Visits for the Android users grew to almost
350 percent from the end of 2008 till the ends of 2009 whereas the visitors for
iphone grew by only 170 percent. People are always looking for more advance
applications, games and software’s for their Android handsets whereas iPhone
users made less downloads to their cell phones. This clearly shows that the
Android cell phones are attracting people’s attention towards advance
technology more effectively.
Although,
these statistics show quite positive signs for Google Android, there could be
some reasons where it may fail to acquire the greater market share. This may
happen because most of the people are not concerned about the software. They
just look at how appealing a cell phone is in terms of its design and shapes.
Fewer limitations in a cell phone do not matter for people who are not
technical savvy and they just neglect these limitations, if the cell phone is
attractive. We know that iPhone has made its ground and is widely acceptable
for the users despite of its limitations but Android’s success will depend a
lot on its cell phone models. Nobody can guarantee as to which cell phone is
going to be accepted in the market and which one is not. However, the
statistics seems to be going in the favor of Google Android.
