<p>Why bother with android phone? Many people react just the opposite when there is a bunch of excitement over a certain item.  If it popular and there is lots of attention, it can cause many people to be turned off.</p>
<p>But don’t be turned off, be open to the Android.  The excitement is there for a reason. By being open it does not mean that you are being trendy or following the crowd like sheep. It simply means that you are willing to be open and see some of the latest advances in cell phone technology.  There is nothing wrong with that and there is nothing wrong with making your busy and hectic life a little easier.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=boomerhealth-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B003TLMQG8" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>That’s what Android phones can do for you.  Whether it is the maps and built in GPS unit for those that may live in big cities or just moving to another location- this truly can be a life saver! You always have your GPS on you and do not have to have that bulky block sitting on your dash board. Perhaps texting made easier in that you can do it by speaking into your phone.  Numerous other advances along with a well designed phone with a handy touch screen.</p>
<p>Whoever your carrier may be, it is in your power and in your hands. You have control in the situation. You get to choose who and what works best for you, that is what Android does. It allows you to individualize to meet your needs.</p>
<p>Feel free to take a look through and see what works for you. Some of the best deals you just can’t beat for cell phone plans can be found through the droid does.</p>

<p><strong>Cell phone technology</strong> 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.</p>

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

<p>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!</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Recent study</strong> 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.</p>
<p>About five percent of apps have the capability to place a call to any  number <strong>without user’s permission</strong>. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
