What Made Android the People’s Choice?

Symbian all these years has been the people’s favorite for mobile operating systems but not now. Symbian OS’s reign in the mobile world has now been nullified by Android and this comes with numerous reasons. Android has advantages over other mobile OS. Below are listed some of the main reasons that sidelined Android from other mobile OSs.

Efficient Mobile Operating System

Many multitasking phones are notorious of being inefficient in many terms. In short the phone isn’t being optimized according to the mobile phone’s features. This inefficiency can be in the form of fast power drain, slow processes, non-responding applications, phone hanging now and again, etc. and you would not like these things happening in the midst of your work. This is not in the case of Android powered phones. Android is also preferred by mobile application developers of any softwaredevelopment company for the same reason.

Incredibly Fast Web Browsing

What do one look for while surfing the internet? First thing that comes in the mind is the speed. If the speed of browsing is slow, there is nothing more frustrating than that. Most mobile phones offer inadequate browsing features. You may experience that the internet is too slow, web pages failed to load, the type of page is not supported and the most frustrating of all is the incompatibility of flash contents. There is nothing we can do with such phone when we look for such feature but most Android phones comes with features that support Flash and problems as such mentioned above will never pose a problem to its users. It is because of the Android platform that comes with Flash content support which will allow users to browse the web with incredible speed.

Applications

When it comes to applications, each mobile operating system has their own vendors and types of application. Android Market however has the highest number of applications meant for Android powered handheld devices. Recently, it is also known that the market registered a landmark with more than 10 billion download, a feat that no other mobile OS could ever achieve. This by itself shows that this OS is indeed the people’s choice. Applications are mostly cross-compatible between Android phones and there are more numbers of Androidapplication developers than other mobile application developers. There is also a steep rise in the number of software and web application development companies that already took up developing Android applications. Therefore, when it comes to applications, there will be no such problems of incompatibility and unavailability.

As you can see, there are reasons why this particular mobile OS has dominated the mobile market. Inefficiency is no more a question, quality web browsing is in your hands and when it comes to applications, there are thousands you can choose from. These advantages made Android the mobile OS the most preferred mobile OS. Developers of other mobile operating systems are also trying to surpass or even come to equal level with it. Will they ever get to their goal or not is now left suspense.
