And again…

The question behind Apple, android or RIM has been in the centre of attention ever since the explosion of smart phone users. Now that RIM has clearly fallen behind, what will entice a consumer to purchase an iPhone rather than a HTC touch?
Although there are strong supporters for the iOS5 system, as both Katrina and Alice pointed out, users are not satisfied with the features of the iPhone 4S. I also discussed in a previous post of mine the disappointment surrounding Apple’s new release as many features were already available in various android phones.
Other then the overlapping of features, Android also has much more flexible regulations for its apps making them “better equipped for global presence”. This allows developers to fully customize them to the needs of specific target markets. Also, Android boosts the major advantage of having the support of Google, which we all know rules the internet empire. On the contrary, Apple has always been known for its limited and strict system that has served the company well; however may hinder its future innovations. Though the two providers are currently matched, perhaps Android should be more aware of their lack of imposed expectations and Apple should open up to more possibilities.
