Hicksville, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/21/2012 --Android is the new rage that has empowered even the ‘not very influential’ clusters of people across the globe to carry a Smartphone. Choosing to fit android across a wide spectrum of android mobile devices priced from $120 to $800, Google choose to differ and go to the masses and also to the classes to challenge Apple. Unlike Apple which has a superloyal and affluent fan base that constitutes its niche, android is spreading into influential parts of the world along with the developing world by targeting a wide range of buyers.

Last quarter data comparing 2010 and 2011 revealed that the market of Android OS has increased by more than 200% while for iOS it has reduced by more than 100%. Speaking on the matter CEO of Apple Computers, Mr. Tim Cook indicated that Apple has registered steady sales figures but admitted that android has penetrated into other markets which Apple does not cater to and thus total market share of iOS got a lesser portion of the pie.

“We have been constantly monitoring the number of android app development request and we found them constantly increase during the last year” said Jayneel Patel, Managing Director of Openxcell Technolabs. “Last year, many iOS apps after their deployment, later saw requests to be optimized for androids as well” adds Jayneel.

Earlier this week, Asus announced its $800 android 4.0 powered tablet called the Transformer Prime TF700T. The tablet is unique in its way as it has a detachable keyboard that will certainly reduce the pain of holding a tablet in hands for long hours bringing along advantages of a laptop too. Certainly, it might help android enter into a niche segment that loves the flexibility of a laptop but also loves the ‘touch and tap’ of a tab as well.

Not only challenging its competitor Apple, but android is also looking disruptive to the PC market. Considering price and looking a little below from Asus transformer, we have something called the galaxy note that combines the functions of a tab and a Smartphone .Another thunderous price driven product in android is the $35 ‘Aakash’ tablet. With ‘Aakash’ which runs on android 2.3, the Indian government wishes to connect all the schools in the country with the help of a price effective device. Following the trend other device manufacturers who belong to the android brigade such as LG, Motorola etc. may follow suit and finally there might be a large Android ecosystem with many disruptive android devices that could challenge the PC market

Anticipating the future of both platforms, we analyze that android with its swelling numbers has an upperhand against Apple’s iOS and as innovation and out-of-the-box thinking rules apple the competition will get even bigger leading to a better future for mobile devices.
