By late 2011, Android is going to capture the mobile market offering the most popular smartphone platform. Android is growing at lightening speed in all the countries taking lead in smartphone market worldwide.
This rise in popularity makes people compare it to Windows. Is Android acting the same role in the mobile world that Windows does in the computer world? No doubt, there are a number of similarities. Like Windows, the Android operating system is available for use on multiple devices by multiple manufacturers. This means that Android users have broad choices in device form factors, capabilities, quality, manufacturers and wireless carriers. You can buy android based device from various companies just like you can buy a Windows computer from almost any manufacturer except Apple, and there's an immense selection of devices, features and prices.
Leaving Android for the moment, the two next most popular smartphone platforms in the United States -- Apple's iOS and RIM's BlackBerry OS -- offer users a far smaller range of choices, from just two manufacturers. This takes away the flexibility of telecom usage from the user making them move towards Android where consumers can purchase Android phones that range from about $50 to $500 or more; choose from almost any wireless carrier; and choose from a wide array of contract, no-contract, and prepaid plans. The BlackBerry is very competitive in terms of price, carriers, and plans but not in terms of manufacturers and features.
Over-viewing various aspects from customer point of view, we can easily observe that Android not only gives flexibility but also offers competitive price and outstanding features. That's the reason why Android seems to emerge like Windows of Mobile platform.
