What You Might Not Know About Android Phones In terms of popularity (which you know already if you keep up with mobile phone news), the Android OS is quickly starting to match the iPhone and Blackberry systems. The rise in popularity could be due to the fact that many different types of phones use the Android OS. It is also because this operating system is constantly being developed and upgraded and it is finally becoming competitive with the other smart phones that are on the market. Unlike the iPhone and the Blackberry (the Android phone's major competitors), the Google phones are highly varied and come in many different styles with different levels of software extensiveness. You might find the following information interesting about the Android and the Google phones. One of the bigger benefits of using the Android OS is that doing so does not limit you to a single cellular provider (unlike the situation with the iPhone). T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and other major providers carry Android OS phones and usually in a variety of models. This is fantastic news for people who want to own a real smart phone but do not want to be tied down to a single provider (or who don't have access to that provider in their local area). Things might change in a few years when the iPhone is more widely available but for now, the Android phones open up your smart phone options. Many iPhone chose their phone because they were familiar with the brand name. The main reason most iPhone users purchased their phones is because they are loyal followers to the Apple brand name. Apple has a large number of loyal consumers. Comparatively, Android OS users are not as loyal. Some users do not necessarily make the best decisions when it comes to their phone options and choices. Users of the iPhone are likely to recommend that you try the iPhone over any other phone they've owned. Android users are not as zealous and might not recommend their phones to others. The Android OS is developed as part of the Open Handset Alliance. This means that there is more than one company working to update and advance the operating system. Google is the largest company and gets the most press but there are other companies that have the same interests. There are many companies in different locations around the world working with a variety of mobile providers. This makes the Android OS a universal cellular operating system. Users who are familiar with open source ease of accessibility and development will choose the Android OS for this reason alone. It did not use to be hard to choose your next cell phone. You probably just accepted your free upgrade from your provider. Now you choose your provider based on its available phones. The good news is that it no longer matters what kind of smart phone you like--thanks to the Android OS you can have that phone no matter which cellular provider you want to use. Isn't that just music to your ears? leadership
