Android And Market.

Android is finally beating up iPhone and blackberry phones, in U.S market. After evaluating the statics of the Android sale chart we can say that 33% of the U.S citizens owns a smart-phone, Android is on first number in the race and Blackberry stands second with 28.9 % and on third is iPhone with 25.2 % sale rate. But still android needs a lot of work to do so, that it can gain the trust of the customers in the market.


- The biggest draw back of Android application development platform is the inability of smart-phone to stay current on software. So, Android developers should reduce fragmentation. As apple stressing on new software to increase its portability and ability with new operating system like apple the android should also be in touch with latest software as the latest phones are using a version of android that became updated four months ago. So, its a time for something new.


- Android is very well known for its open source platform as codes are all ready available and you can just go on its store and develop any application with the help of given codes. It is heard from one source that Google is now paying attention to the " Non fragmentation clauses " upon licensees. It is quite upset for that users who always want to see his handsets different from others. I really appreciate this but it is very much risky concept for Google because if the other OS proves more attractive to users like Window Phone 7 they will ultimately move towards it.

Tips For Saving Battery Life- Android

The fast evolving Android mobile operating system has made android more popular and today they are preferred by more people .Daily we see number of new updates added to Android platform but still Android phones do have share of woes of insufficient battery power. Let's discuss how we can save battery life.


Switch off Notifications:- It will be better if you switch off your sound notifications and as well as LED notifications to save battery. It is true that they silently drain your battery power more than you can imagine.


Switch off unnecessary services:- Services such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS need not be kept switched ON always. Bluetooth is required only when you need to transfer files or use a Bluetooth headset, while GPS is required only if you are having difficulty finding your way around some place while traveling. Switch off GPS Geo location features in any other app that makes use of it as well.


Disable Adobe Flash:- Adobe Flash is required for the functionality of certain websites. Flash gives an enriching web experience but also consumes a lot of battery. Switching it off is one possible way of reducing battery consumption. You can set the browser to load Flash only when you want it to load. To do this, open the internet browser, go to Settings > Enable Plug-ins and set it to On Demand.


Use Battery Usage Screen:- Android phones have a nifty little utility, which lets you monitor what apps consume the most power and thus affecting battery life the most. This is the Battery Usage Screen and you can access it by opening Settings > About Phone > Battery use. You can then decide what action needs to be taken.

The Impact Of Mobile Phones.

The communication industry in India is one of the rapidly emerging sectors and is estimated to the surface as the 2nd biggest international Mobile Application Development platform market. As per TRIA report Indian communication industry has registered a 3.5 % hike in its telecom subscribers in Dec 2009. The sector touched 562.21 million. Yeah ! Its quite surprising. You will be more surprised if you start evaluating others countries stats. This hike is all because the mobile experts are updating everyday a new smart phone in the market with new set of applications. List of some smart phones which are popular in the mobile market are as follows:-

iPhone Platform:- iPhone Programming is fully based on iOS . It has features like video camera, text messaging, visual voice mail, portable media player,web browsing. It supports Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity and has a virtual keyboard rather than physical one. The third party applications are also available on apps store which are nearly 300,000 in number. These apps are based on diverse functionality which includes Games, GPS, Face Time, Social networking sites and so on.
Android Platform:- We all are familiar with android programming which is based on open source platform. The Android's operating system is based upon modified version of the Linux Kernel. There are currently 150,000 apps available for Android store run by Google and they can also be download from third party sites.

The HONEYCOMB'S Platform

The biggest achievement which the Android developers can count is that they have launched Android phones very late but still it is emerging high on a great speed and have become one of the biggest enemy of iPhone platform or you can say that it is the competitor of iPhone mobile market.

Now a day such phones that run on android operating system is people's first choice. All the mobile brands are making android phones and are seeking attention of people. There are lots of reasons for high demand of Android phones because they are easily available in the market but Apple iPhone 5 are only available in the Apple stores.

Revolutionizes the tablet experience:- Android 's widgets allow you to scroll and view through inbox. flip through the latest news stories and thumb through your upcoming calender appointments. When we receive an e-mail, android tablet briefly flashes the info at the bottom of your screen .You can customize notifications service whenever you want.

Voice-to-text technology:-You can also use Google 's voice actions system -accessible via an icon on the home screen. Honeycomb tablets have fully integrated support for voice-based input. Anywhere you can type text, you can speak it.

Suopports browsing technology:- Honeycomb's browser is as close to the desktop experience as you can get on a tablet. The browser allows you to have multiple tabs, to open pages in "incognito" mode, and to automatically stay synced with your computer's Chrome installation. That means your bookmarks are always available and always up-to-date, wherever you go -- no PC connections or service subscriptions required. Honeycomb will soon support flash based browsing content.

Fell free to use services:- Android gives to opportunity to use your tablet freely whenever you want. It is free from Apple -enforced restrictions on how you can customize your device and what you can do with it.

The Mobile Cloud and The World Of Mobile Technology.

The word cloud is stated as a metaphor to describe the broad scope of mobile technology services. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a somewhat more objective and specific definition: "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction."The Mobile cloud service has open the field to a large number of mobile developers. The concept of creating apps for MC (Mobile cloud) is very different one as comparing the development procedure of apps for other mobile platforms like Android, iPhone ,Blackberry and so on.

The mobile applications and Web services:-

Some technical experts believes that in future all the mobile applications will be migrated to cloud rather than run directly from handset. So, for installing these applications we need good browsing speed mobiles so that we can access and execute them in less time and save our valuable time. Serval handsets are available in the market who are structured by keeping this cloud computing services concept in mind for example 4G mobile networks, like LTE and WiMAX, are fundamental for supporting large-scale mobile cloud deployment. The important thing that handheld devices must contain is HTML5 so that the user can experience and enjoy uninterrupted services levels.

Enabling mobile technologies

The mobile apps developers have not to spend to much money for submission process as few mobile solutions providers, such as appMobi have started offering integrated mobile browser that allows users to download and access apps directly from the websites.


But, still we need to cover this by expanding our knowledge.

A Salute to Android

It had beat up iPhone and Blackberry with the gap of 2% . The mobile market graph tell that Android market has own up at 29% and rest iPhone and Blackberry products sales is only 27%. So , now this story is old which says that iPhone is still ahead in the race . Now the most loving phone is android only. With rose there are thorns too. As Android platform is developing side by side Android developers are worried too as they wants to make it a secure one because of following reasons:-


The popularity of Android devices:- When any thing comes out with name and fame all tries to get it through good and bad means. Same is the case with Android application platform. As it is being popular so hackers are trying to take it and the cyber criminals are realizing that and acting and preparing themselves according to this. The popularity of android can become an inviting target for malicious hackers.


The existence of malware:- The concern about the android programming security issue is very sensitive one because malware is present over there. If the concept of malware not present in android than the google have being feeling safe but now they have to think and make their platform a secure one.


The security companies are observing:- As we all know that the android platform is open source one and there is always a chance for hacker to hack any programming while other brands like apple are regarded as secure one so every company is pointing on android platform


Source foe revenue potential:- We all adopt illegal methods to earn money and we choose only that platform which is finacially a stronger one and is collecting great earning in the market i.e economically strong. The cyber criminals attacks only that operating system that have most users. So mobile technology have to make android a secure one because we all know that this is today new smartphone and in future it will be at high level due to its wonderfull apps.

Think Android!! Think App!!! Think Globally!!!

Google is the mother of The Google Chrome and Android operating systems. Android is built for touch, while Chrome OS is meant to be used with a keyboard and pointer.The Google Chrome and Android operating systems are Google's two newly developed systems that they're working on. Google OS is mainly based on the Google Chrome browser that runs internet applications. It is designed to be a really simple, user-friendly computer operating system that can be used on numerous devices. Now you ask,, where will the platform actually fit in?

Some say that Google is on a diehard mission to take over the world. They already have a world-dominating search engine, PPC program, Android OS, Google maps with an eerily accurate portrayal of everyone's neighborhood, and much more! What other Google features can you think of off the top of your head?

What operating system will ultimately come out on top? Android or iOS? If Android can manage to tackle Apple and the touch screen tablet market, will it stop there? Knowing Google, probably not. Since 1998, Google has been effectively taking control of the web. Android started on phones and is now being used for tablets. Where will we find Android next?

In my opinion, I think we're going to find it just about everywhere. From the next generation of kitchen appliances to WiFi connected cars.

It’s a two-horse race, iPhone versus Android.

It’s important to remember that the iPhone is one, singular smartphone. When people say Android, they are referring to numerous phones from different manufacturers that employ Google Inc.’s Android operating system. So, this is a battle of one versus many, and the one continues to win. Also remember that an iPhone apps programming has all the functionality of the most advanced iPod, so an iPhone is also an iPod, an absolutely ubiquitous digital music device that’s a must-have for countless consumers.

How iPhone runs past BlackBerry and stays ahead of Android?

According to Nielsen Co.report just released smartphone operating system market share data for the month of November, and things are really heating up. 28.6% of smartphones in use by U.S. adults run Apple Inc.’s iPhone operating system, 26.1% use Research in Motion’s BlackBerry operating system and 25.8% run Google Inc.’s Android operating system.

The iPhone apps development has been trending up, but only a bit. Android, on the other hand, has been growing significantly, and it’s now within 2.8 percentage points of tying the Apple device. Here’s how I see things going in 2011. The Android programming, based on its stupendous growth curve, overtakes the iPhone. But at some point this year, Apple’s exclusive deal with AT&T ends and it begins offering the iPhone through Verizon. At that point, a massive number of consumers who hate AT&T but have drooled over the iPhone for years move to the iconic Apple device. And by the beginning of 2012 the iPhone takes the lead back from Android.

Best choice:-

Knowing that the iPhone and Android operating systems are the ones to beat is key to success with a mobile commerce endeavor. You want to be optimizing with these devices in mind. For the foreseeable future it’s all about the iPhone and Android. And what a prizefight this is going to be. When Verizon gets in the iPhone’s corner, I’ll stake my money on the iPhone. BlackBerry has been dropping like a stone. Unless they very soon create the greatest thing since sliced bread, write them off (sorry, BlackBerry). BlackBerry users are business users, anyway. They don’t do the same things iPhone and Android users do, like have fun—which would include shopping.
