Samsung Instinct Vs 3G iPhone

If you look at the landscape in the what is increasingly known as the iphone era the only competition for iPhone is the Samsung Instinct or SPH-M800 and the GSM version the SGH-F490 are the only ones that come close to iPhone. Actually they do provide better feature then the iPhone like the visual voice mail and voice dial , which increasingly suggests that its more of a design with functioning as a phone then an internet browse devise. How ever they have not opened this Pandora’s box that Apple has unleashed the Appstore to go with iPhone. With the appstore and the potential for all the free minded developers that come up with cool iPhoneapps , it makes the iPhone a much more attractive devise then the Samsung Instinct. For this reason alone it makes the iPhone a much more attractive option then to the Samsung Instinct. Unless these other devices that aspire to be competitors for iPhone come up with a concept of appstore the iPhone has nothing to worry. Because appstore has harnessed the power of the community to come up with applications that the public wants and it has given the general population the means to develop what they want with this concept of Web 2.0 . Well, Google first unleashed the potential of Web 2.0 with promoting Blog and that is the way of the World. The only solution to come close to this EDGE that apple has is Android. When google unleashed Android this year, it seemed like they wanted to discover the holy grail of an Operating System for iPhone like products. Android is a common platform for any mobile phone developer to launch his/her ideas on. With Apple SDK kit and the popular device like iPhone to test seems like the Google is playing the catchup game with Apple, like what Google did with Microsoft on its search business, revenge is a dish best served in 0′s and 1′s .
Android Vs iPhone SDK’s
Android is officially out for the developers to play with and develop the best out of Google application and bag the 10 million. It still need to be seen as to who will come out if this quest to conquer the mobile world first Apple or Google . The cool thing about Google is that they have always been true to their philosophy of encouraging open source. The mobile congress 2008 opened up the Pandora’s box and the chatter is on. The advantage to iPhone SDK is that they are made to work hand in hand with the iPhone but Android is different in that aspect. Android is rich in many ways its better then Windows Mobile and also better capable to deliver rich applications on multiple devices. The count down has begun, consumers have to sit back take a back seat and enjoy the ride.
