Today's best software - a review of the pros and cons
The phone software market today is bigger and more competitive than previously. With the finest brands, like Motorola, HTC, Samsung, T-mobile, and obviously the eponymous Apple all launching various unique or not so different smartphones, the modern contraption geek is spoilt for choice. But all of these different interactive hand held run on one of 2 main software programs - Android, or Apple's operating system. In this article, let's review the benefits and disadvantages of the most popular smart phones and their software - iOS and Android. Pros of Android vs. iOS:
- In sheer numbers, these smartphones far outstrip the iPhone market. The technology is available on a significant number of trustworthy brand telephones, such as Motorola, HTC, Samsung, Micromax, for example. The best software reviews suggest this phone software has a broader market.
- Its open source nature compares favourably to iPhone's closed source nature, because it allows for much more customization than in iPods, even after jail breaking.
- Accessibility of more free, legal programs is a major merit of Android over iOS. Though the iPhone store has more programs, Google play is fast catching up and is good because a bigger number of them are free. Again, in this platform, other third party programs may also be easily installed, which is a major personalisation advantage.
- Availability if inbuilt flash and well integration of applications, like the share option and the camera, in Android smart telephones, make it expedient to the iOS.
- This software uses the Java platform, which is the platform used most by developers. The development platform offered by Android is a simple one, which allows multiple platform development of applications.Pros of iOS vs. Android.
- Though in volume the previously mentioned phones dominate the market, iOS has about it a uniqueness and brand price which is tough to compete with. Though there are rather more Android phones, no phone running on the former platform on it's own has a bigger following the iPhones running on Mac.
- The Apple's closed system permits it to launch programs which are customized for its iPhones, and are thus usually more detailed than Android software which has to accommodate itself to a larger number of phones, and therefore does not exploit fully the capacities of any phone.
- Apple app store has a bigger number and assortment of features customised for the iPhones, iPads, and other Apple software, than Google Play. These limited range apps give the devices running on Apple an exclusiveness which Android smart telephones can't match.
- Developing applications on the Mac platform could be a bit stuttering for developers as the Mac uses odjective programming under the C-language. Therefore people who are conversant with C and C++ can do this programming easily. Developing applications that are supported by multiple platforms is a tough job for all.
These 2 telephones and tablet based software superpowers currently control the market, and are unlikely to have major competition anytime soon. Which operating software you select is dependent upon your private needs and preferences, and what YOU want from your hand held.
