WHAT IS ANDROID? Android is the world's most popular mobile

platform. With Android you can use all the Google apps you know and love, plus there are more than 600,000 apps and games available on Google Play to keep you entertained, alongside millions of songs and books, and thousands of movies. Android devices are already smart, and will only get smarter, with new features you won't find on any other platform, letting you focus on what's important and putting you in control of your mobile experience.

Who founded Android, Inc.?

O Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States in October, 2003 by Andy Rubin (co-founder of Danger), Rich Miner (co-founder of Wildfire Communications, Inc.),  Nick Sears (once VP at T-Mobile), and Chris White(headed design and interface development at WebTV).[25] to develop, in Rubin's words "...smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences."

Why most of people love android tablet devices?Android tablet devices are great

gadgets which could be practically used for anything from a technological point of view. There is no doubt that multi-functionality is what attracts most of the loyal users who tend to buy every new model of the android devices no matter if it is a tablet or an android phone. If some thought is given, it could be easily concluded that the android tablet is actually replacing the laptops because it can be used for chatting, playing games, preparing documents, reading documents, sending mails, listening to music etc. It is pretty much like something that replaces a computer, MP3 player and even a mobile phone. That’s right! Some of the most recent tablets can even enable their users to make phone calls.

WHY ANDROID IS BETTER THAT IOS?

*Many People who have iPhone’s will try to point out the “great features” of the

iOS, however they don’t know what they are missing out on. There are many things about

the iOS, that are just plain irritating, and I will point them

out.

Page 7: Android phones

1. The Back Button

The iPhone lacks a back button, a feature which pretty much all Android phones have

to begin with. For example, if you’re reading an email and you click on a link, it opens up Safari, and to get back to your email, you have to press the home

button, and click on the mail app again. (This was somewhat fixed with iOS 4.0

multitasking but the functionality of Android is still better.)

2. Default AppsSo far, it is impossible to set default

apps for certain actions on the iPhone. However, on Android, this is a piece of cake. If you want to set

Opera or Dolphin as the default web browser, you can do so easily but on iPhone, you have to open the app up

manually, since Safari cannot be changed as the default web browser.

The Android slide-down notification bar is amazing, however, the iPhone notification system is horrendous.

3. Notification System

Page 10: Android phones

Android Widgets are absolutely amazing. The iPhone lacks Widgets altogether. Android widgets can be placed on the home screen(s), and can provide you with quick news

updates, live scorecards for sport, messages, email, and much,

much, more.

4. WIDGETS

5. Memory

Apple is too restrictive on what their customers can do and what they can’t. For example, the iPhone doesn’t

have a slot for micro-SD cards. If you want more memory on an iPhone, you’ll have to pay an outrageous sum of money for an iPhone with a higher capacity of memory.

(There is a significant price difference between the 16GB and 32GB iPhones.) Pretty much all Android Phones, on the other hand, have a compartment to put a micro-SD card into, and with the release of Android 2.2(Froyo),

many apps can be saved onto the SD card, saving you a lot of valuable phone memory.

6. Integration

On Android, if you want, your Facebook contacts

can be integrated into your phonebook. This a feature

which the iPhone lacks.

Page 13: Android phones

Personally, I hated having to repeatedly sync my iPhone with iTunes. With Android, plug your

phone into the computer, and it’s just drag and drop, which believe

me, is much quicker and convenient than syncing. So, your Android

phone can even replace your USB. The iPhone can’t even be started for

the first time without iTunes!

7. Syncing

8. Android MarketThe Android Market doesn’t send you back to the home screen every time you want to download/update an app. I have found this to be very irritating on the App Store.

9. FLASH

Many Android phones have Adobe Flash support, while the iPhone only has html5

support. Without flash, many videos on the Internet cannot be viewed, making YouTube, Facebook Video, And TwitVid, some of the only video sites supported by the iPhone.

10. DevelopersApple charges people who

want to develop applications for the App Store $100/year, while Google only charges Android developers $5, so

once again Android prevails.

11. Email

The email system on the iPhone is horrible. You have to manually

check for email, unlike on Android, on which you are notified of an email as soon as it arrives.

Also, if you have already viewed/read an email on your

computer (eg. on Hotmail), it will appear as unread on your iPhone.

This is a big disadvantage for people who use email a lot.

 Yep! On Android, all three versions of Angry Birds are

free, unlike on iOS where they are $1

each.

4G Speeds:

Ever since the HTC EVO 4G launched on Sprint’s WiMAX network in summer 2010, we’ve seen more and more Android handsets with next-gen network support. Today, every major carrier sells 4G Android phones, including Verizon, which has half a dozen LTE handsets that can download at speeds between 10 and 20 Mbps while the 3G iPhone 4S will be lucky to pull down 1.5 to 2 Mbps. Buy your iPhone 4S with a two-year contract and you’ll be stuck on a 2008-era network in 2013.

Load Any App You Want:

With iOS, developers and users are at the mercy of Apple’s standards board. With Android, there are literally dozens of app stores in addition to

Google’s Android Market. Want to program your

own app and distribute it your friends? With

Android, it’s no problem; just give your friends the install file, tell them to check the “Unknown sources” box in their

settings menu, and go to town.

Keyboard Flexibility:

If you don’t like

Android’s stock

keyboard, you have

dozens of third-party

alternatives, from

Swype to Better

Keyboard. Better still,

you can buy an Android

handset with a honest-

to-goodness physical

keyboard. If you don’t

like the iPhone’s

keyboard, you’ll need to

jailbreak it in order to

install an alternative.

Bigger Screens:

With the iPhone 4S, you can get any screen size you want as long as it’s 3.5 inches. With the wide range of Android phones available, you can choose from tiny form factors such as the Motorola Charm or huge ones, such as the 4.5-inch Samsung Infuse. It’s your choice, not Apple’s.

NFC Support/Mobile Payments:

With a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip, Android phones such as the Samsung

Nexus S and the HTC Amaze 4G can

double as your wallet, allowing you to 

tap and pay at a growing number of retail outlets. In the future, NFC chips

will also allow your phone to be used as an ID card

or a keycard. Maybe then, Apple will add this promising technology to

its phones.
