There are two different perspectives/arguments that are looked at. The competition between Apple and Android and what it will look like for 2011 what could be expected.

First gadget expert says that both Apple and Android will both be successful but for two different reasons. Apple is able to charge quite a bit of money for their products and stay at the higher end of the market. Apple is very good at coming up with new ideas and implementing them into their products. Since they do control all of their hardware and software for their devices it gives them the leverage to have more control over their market.

Second gadget expert believes that iOs ecosystem that Apple has is a older system but when you add all the new and sophisticated applications it really is a calculable difference. Android’s business goal is trying out something that has not been done before ( I assume the open systems and what not) but is definitely risky.

I’m more inclined to agree with the second gadget expert. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Cell phones are the wave of the future and an industry that is growing at a rapid rate. In the end, I still love Android! Ha! Go figure! Without risks there are no great achievements… Android is paving the way and I’m happy to be a part of that!

It seems as though that this country is split in half. Sure there will always be religion to divide everyone yet the principals in which this country was based on seem to be up in the air for some people. Basically what it comes to is allow the government to tell you what to do. Just like most of the big companies folded when it came to the WikiLeaks.

Sure the whole issue with security and betrayal not cool. But come on people this just goes to show the freedoms that have been lost. Everyone folds and does what they are told. What happened to critical thinking and asking questions? Crazy concept I know, but really would save much long term troubles if we did this from the get go.When someone treats you like crap and kicks you while you’re down- you don’t like them in the end you have it out for them, this can happen on a global basis. Dignity and Respect goes a long ways, but so does betrayal.

When all the other big names including Apple pulled the ability for users to access the content from the site. Android has been the only company to hold stead fast to the freedom for people to CHOOSE!

That is where the power is people! Options, being able to CHOOSE! Support Android if for no other reason but open system equals an open mind.

Cell phone technology has taken off, it has blasted off is more like it, blown UP. Smartphones and the ongoing love hate relationship between Google and Apple seem to really feed off of one another and create lots of new programs. Of course the obvious difference between the two which is what sets them apart is the open system (Google) and the closed system (Apple). Yet with all  these new advances there are some questions arising. The biggest is security! More and more apps are now able to gain access to vital information such as passwords, bank info, etc.

Quite a few experts have been analyzing such issues. The question that was sparked was which platform is safer? Let’s begin with the different types of phones:

• Blackberry aka “Crackberry” – Limits users from installing, sharing or creating different applications. But Blackberry became popular because it was the first phone that allowed you to get your email on your phone, definitely not because it is a Smartphone.
• Windows Mobile- Microsoft created a mini computer in a phone. It is has the ability for users to install and share applications, but people really haven’t been into purchasing it.
• iPhone- Really started the launch of Smartphones and all the hoopla. Although Apple controls what applications get approval and which do not. There are a TON of apps. Due to the closed syste

  m the security is pretty damn good. When you think about it though, if you have never been outside the castle walls- how are you to know what the world is like? Or born into a country like North Korea where you can’t think and you are told what is and isn’t okay. Makes you wonder what’s beyond the Apple walls!

• Android aka “Droid”- the OS was designed to resemble a PC and be able to run many different applications  all at once which aren’t to be monitored, per se, by a central entity. This is all great but this does make the system vulnerable.

Recent study that was conducted ran these numbers: there will be forty eight thousand apps available to Android users, about twenty percent of the apps will require a third party or access from some other entity. There are some hackers that perhaps develop apps to do hateful things like bank fraud, identity theft, and so much more.

About five percent of apps have the capability to place a call to any number without user’s permission. Two percent of apps have that capability to send SMS messages (text messages) without user’s permission. The percentages seem small but in ratio with the overall number, the likeliness of bad luck, and the lack of filtering one should be aware at least.

Just be aware, take caution of the sites you visit, and easy with the downloading! Do a little research and check out comments and such.

Most people I would assume are “crossovers” they use both Google and Apple products, not totally devout Droid users. IPods were the first big thing really to hit the market when it came to personal players. Of course being Apple products everything has to be a closed and monitored system.  This is exactly why we are stuck with our music on itunes.

There’s an application for your Droid now that is similar but now for your phone. Double Twist!! I’ll say it again, DOUBLE TWIST! You can transfer your song ratings, play accounts, songs in your library, playlists, videos and podcasts.  The nice thing is that since you are already familiar with iTunes you will be able to maneuver this app with no prob.

Other than being so fantastic in transferring all your stuff, for FREE- you can use both MACs and PCs!! Yay for that!

Apple is not one to play fair nor are they the type of company to be humble and not slander others. This was made apparent when the whole controversy came about with Adobe.

Steve Jobs the head honcho over at Apple decided to start bashing Adobe. Pretty crazy idea in that Adobe monopolizes flash on the internet. This in turn just caused Adobe to start putting more efforts into Smartphones & Droids.

Now Apple has decided to dispute a national study done by an outside source over the selling of iPhones and Android phones. The survey was about 150,000 survey takers. That was too limited for Apple’s liking. Although the spokes person for Apple has some pretty good stats they forgot to mention that as time goes on, Apple is beginning to become heavily reliant on foreign sales. Also, the limited number of carriers-Apple officially only goes with AT&T where has Droid is carried by most if not all the major carriers here in the U.S.

There are other details around both iPhone & Droid sales. If you’d like take a look through at the article here

Google will be releasing their e-book store her pretty quick.  According to Google they left it vague as to sometime this summer. Many other big book store competitors who have come forward in the e-book market who have begun creating their own: Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the already established Apple which has its own initiative around the iPad.

The mission statement Google has for the e-book is “The Book on Google: Is the Future of Publishing in the Cloud?”  Google Editions will be a browser based service and there for it will hold your purchases offline but keep a digital bookshelf for you.

Google Editions will work with your iPad, your HTC Droid Incredible or your laptop! So far due to the lawsuit that has been taking place between Google, authors and publishers. So far it will only be books that have been granted permission to Google.

This is so exciting!! yay!
