BLOG#6 PLATFORM WARS

Wednesday, June 29, 2011
Hmmm... I was sitting here surfing the web, and all I noticed was how so many companies offer tablets and smart phones. I understand that this is the way of todays world,"TECHNOLOGY RULES". But have you ever asked yourself who is better, then who, and why should I pick them. What makes your system better then their's.
                                                                                 

We understand that there are Pros and Cons when it comes to these mobile platforms, so I feel it would be fair to say the applications the devices offer/use would be equally important as the purchase itself. Let's face it, what good is a tablet without the apps, thats like having a computer with no operating system, come on people... face it the better the apps, the better your investment is. So without further a do, lets take a look at some of the prominent applications out there today.

  • APPLE'S App Store: The name speaks for itself Apple has been one of the most elite applications on the market. Besides the strict guidlines the developers must follow in order to provide quality work, the App store is host to more than 500,000 approved applications, as well as the IPAD having over 90,000 native Apps available for download. If you want to find more Information about the App store applications that were approved or the IPAD be sure to check out my links.

  • ANDROID MARKET: In its two plus years out Android Apps has become the second biggest player in the mobile App world. "Two Thumbs Up" for GOOGLE, making their platform a force to be reckoned with. Having over 200,000 Apps, and 500,000 new device activations every single day. Another plus about Android is how they allow outside markets to be downloaded to their systems as well. You can transfer downloads via U.S.B.,Websites, and by downloading the A.P.K. file. By doing this they do chance the risk of installing bad codes, which is a chance they are willing to take, besides it is more then what you will get from IOS devices or the App store.

  • There are many other Apps that are trying to make a way for themselves, like HP, and BlackBerry to name a few. Ultimately its up to you to decide what fits your needs. Excessive Apps with limited control then APPLE may be for you. Then there are those who want to be able to install Apps from external sources then Adroid is your guy. Maybe you are only interested in smaller easy to browse Apps then you may want to look at HP, or BlackBerry. Bottom line  people, just lie the old saying goes "THERE SOMEBODY FOR EVERYBODY" I say "THERE IS A PLATFORM FOR YOU"
