The Apple Comment by Denny Grabowski
Android, it’s not a code name or a phrase from Star Wars or other Science Fiction movies. Android means Google, exactly Google’s march into the cell phone market.
Steve Horowitz, Technology President, shows in a youtube clip the possibilities the new phone is already able of. His model and all the coming future phones are based on an open source software operating system and software platform for mobile phones. The first pictures have been very impressive, the look is nice and up to date. The display looks like Apple’s iPhone and a shown touch display reminds on it as well. Google’s own web browser shows Internet pages like Safari and of course they are moveable with the finger. Another feature is a so called history function that shows the visited pages in cover flow style. In one point is the Google device one step ahead. Google wants already developers for 3rd party applications and goes in a totally different direction as Apple and that could be the big advantage for Google because in the 1980’s Apple restricted system access made Microsoft to a giant on the market. Could history repeat itself? I hope not.
But if the Android based platform gets all the application that Apple’s iPhone does not have, history could happen again. But fortunately Apple is always good for a big surprise and in next year’s middle we can expect new applications and functions for the iPhone. But the best thing for us end users is: competition keeps the market alive and pushes the development so far forward. I’m for my self very curious what the next months will be like!
