No matter how you look at it, Google’s mobile platform Android is still one of the most sought after operating systems for mobile phones. Their web services offer some of the most used free internet services (though they also have plenty of other services that nobody really uses). And Google is continuing to expand into many fields such as mobile phones, net books and even broadband services.
There is no doubt that the mobile phone industry will be a critical part of global technology in the next few years. Mobile phones are now carrying many of the functions we used to delegate to other devices. Portable entertainment, internet access, photo shooting is just some of the functions that modern day smart phones serve to users.
Google is expanding heavily in the mobile industry.
It has been noticed that right now, two major companies are facing off for market dominance; Apple and Google. Apple has been having tremendous success with the iPhone. The smart phone totally set a new standard for how touch screen user interfaces should be made, and until this very day, it is considered to still be one of the best smart phones on the market –beating devices only recently launched.
With the recent focus of Apple on the tablet market, it is not surprising that Google has also been working on a Chrome tablet. The Apple iPad tablet comes with a 1GHz CPU and a 9.4 inch capacitive touch screen. It’s a great device; though it does lack common features such as multi tasking (it will never have Flash).
Speaking of the mobile industry, the rise of the app market has also become a major focus. The Apple iPhone is very encouraging companies to developers as they work on some of the most famous apps in the system.
