It’s hard for us to distinguish which of them is better for we have no necessity to own all of them. But today I read a news from PCworld that they have make a comparison among three devices. And they make a conclusion that Android is going be the winner. Here I will list some of the point to inform you if you are hesitating to buy which.
1. Android occupies the largest market: According to Google CEO EricSchmidt,” they sold 200 thousands Android per day.” And according to NDP’s statistics, the whole smart phone sales from April to June, Android occupies 33%, RIM 28% and iPhone 22%. It seems that people tend to favor on Android.
2. More series and stronger Propaganda: NPD pointed out that Android platform has lot of manufacture: VerizonWireless、AT&T、Sprint and T-Mobile, all of which are the world’s best. It seems that Android has more potential promotion actions.
3.Creativity: Since Google developed Android system, many people believe that the technique capacity of it is better than other systems. Also Android is not mature enough and it has the potential space to be much better; also the interface is more friendly and abundant than others.

It’s reported that Motorola was still testing its Android 2.1 operating system for the T-Mobile Cliq. However, couple days ago, they have scheduled to release the system, they still decided to delay back to August. Since August is approaching, it finally puts the Android 2.1 on line sale. At the same time, Sprint will push Android 2.1 to the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment in early Q2 2010.
According to Motorola, the Motoblur Cliq will feature a much better battery life than before. It will also improve touch-screen resolution and GPS connectivity. Although we have no exact statistics about the change, most Cliq users think that multitouch is on the way and that the update will bring the Google Maps app with free-turn-by-turn navigation among others.
Although Sprint didn’t give too much details, it seems expected for Hero and Moment to launch Android 2.1 OS on their smartphones later. It would be a good news for Motorola users who are looking forward Android 2.1.

I think that Google Nexus’s officially being sold out is not a so big surprise for us. Some have already said it will be sold out in short time and the prophecy comes true. Google announced some time earlier that it was closing up shop, and a couple of days ago it had said that it was taking in a final shipment of Nexus One smartphones. Here, I’m sorry to say you folks have lost the chance to get the phone. I’m not joking, if you go to the NexusOne site, what you will see is only a little note from Google saying that direct purchases are no longer available for purchase directly from Google and you just can find more information by asking its help center. I know it is sad but if you really want to get one, Vodafone still has some units left in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom and if you can afford this and don’t think too much about money, you can just go and buy one from Vodafone.
You won’t have many troubles on getting the Android devices to work in North America because they are GSM devices–what’s more, Google is going to bring the smartphone to Sprint and Verizon ,giving an opportunity to Droid Incredible and HTC EVO 4G.
So it’s better to wait patiently for the Nexus One. It is not only a good hardware but also it’s the only device now supporting the official Android 2.2, Froyo. If you really like it, seven months’ waiting won’t drive you crazy, right?

Through Google mobile searches now are returning hits on Android and iPhone apps, it does not seem that Google is going to miss all the potential search traffic. The hits they can get from people, who search for Android and iPhone apps will not decline.
At the same time, recently the search giant Google has quietly created a new feature, which will make any iPhone OS- or Android OS-powered smartphone go straight to a direct download link with a special app. As it is said by the Slacker Radio app, when you are searching for an app by an iPhone, Google will produce a result that will make you directly to the Slacker Radio AppStore page on your iPhone automatically and freely. If you are clicking the download link on an Android phone, it will kick you out of the Android Market.
The new mobile search app is not only supporting the direct download links for both the Android and iPhone version of an app, but it can also automatically make out which phone you’re using with the query of your online. In addition, Google will only show a link to an app store, which is the most appropriate for your device. At the top of the picture,you can see a Google search result for Shazam on the iPhone App Store.
Are you interested in it? Maybe you can try it next time, if you are looking to download an app. Moreover, it is much better than built-in search Android Market’s functionality.

Have you remembered that not too long ago, Google did not agree China to hack intos network causing a lot of China’s angers. As a result, the Google’ giant search engine is pulled out of the country of China completely.
Well, the cyber tomfoolery semems that China did not give enough freedom on Google, causing Google associated with a version of Microsoft’s flagship operating system to exploit a security Windows. It is certain that Google was going to prohibit their employees to use Windows computers, instead providing them with the option of using their own Apple’s OS X Chrome OS, or Linux. Of course, the employees can choose one of them by themselves.
Microsoft knew about the banning and came forth to respond on it. It wonders that whether it will make any effects on the users of running Linux or any other operating system. Because, Linux, Windows, Mac has the weaknesses for the users of those systems.
Various security exploits who has fallen victim to in the past has criticized Windows. However, was it right for Google to ban the operating system completely? Maybe they just wanted to make their network as secure as possible, but not taking a shot at Microsoft. There are mass chaos would surely ensue, if Google and all of its services were to be banned. I cannot image that.

We all know that Google TV is going to release in the coming fall. I really want to know what apple thinks about that. Maybe that is a good refresh to wake Apple to make some difference about their existing TV platform. I think it is a good measure to make a makeover about its appearance that will take customers attraction.
As present, the figure of Apple TV is very like an Apple. However, there is lack of creativity, and the meaning is closed and limited. The important refresh would probably into the existing Apple TV, when it integrate the iPhone OS, it seems like that there is no a trend to go away soon.
The same as Google TV, a refreshed Apple TV may be available to the third-party applications of App Store’s robust selection. Users can get access to it immediately. A refresh may also provide the users to get into more content that is different from their iTunes library.
It is also rumored that Apple TV could cut their price as well. At present, the price is for $229, but it will go down to the price only at $99.it is really a challenge to Google TV.
Google needs to meet that price point, if not undercut it. Though prices were not released for the upcoming Logitech products, I’d expect them to be around $200. Let’s hope that with the news of Apple’s revamp of their service, Google’s TV products will be priced competitively.
Whatever it happens, it is really a good thing for customers. Apple and Google competed with each other, consumers is going to benefit from this long fight between the two-behemoth companies. In this situation, I think the 2010 will be the year for TV to get a much-needed makeover.

Palm webOS, which is a respectable operating system about mobile, will make a big change about its higher lever after HP has purchase all Palm webOS. This big change will lead to series of results about its product which will be released on some day in the future.
Now, you may have a question that who is the designer of the respectable operating system about mobile. And the designer must be dominate the entire mastermind and regarded to be very important. From my source, it is Matias Duarte who is the UI (human interface and user experience for short) senior director that designs greater part of the mobile operating system work.
However, Matias Duarte was recently announced to get a new employment to Google. He will be heading to Google and do their operating system about mobile by his own which is Android. It must be more or less a loss to Palm and HP. But we can not make sure that the new place would be perfect to Matias Duarte. As mentioned, the new title on Android for Matias Duarte will be the director of User Experience.
