Introduction

Two major Company's, who is best?

During this Blog I am going to look at the recent 'Phone War' that has broken out between two very large behemoths of the tech industry. Google, which is bringing along the Linux based operating system called android, while apple is bringing their very well established operating system, iOS. I will be comparing the different services (or lack of) within these different operating systems as well as discussing any news that comes along the way. 

I will also take a look of the hardware that these operating systems can be found on, comparing the different specifications of the phones. I will be looking at things such as RAM, the graphics card, the available memory, as well as cosmetic things such as screen size and phone weight. Not forgetting what  a lot of people consider the most important part, I will compare the availability of apps found on the different operating systems. While the power and beauty of a Smart phone is what gets you to buy the phone, truly it is the apps that keeps you wanting more. 

I expect I will be updating this blog regularly as well as when any major news about either of the company's arrives. I hope that my first post will be coming soon.

    1. Usually you'll find that the iPhones have a larger screen to most android phones as well as usually having faster performance. However Studies made online suggest that many users prefer the interface of android over I OS.

    5. The iPhone offers different services than the android as well as people often just wanting the "Lastest Thing".
      Look at the first article I linked for more information on the difference.

    6. That article only shows different layouts of the different apps. That wouldnt be enough to convince someone to buy a more expensive.

  2. I noticed a spelling mistake in the first paragraph, 'while apple is "bring in" their very'. Also the objectives you set yourself in the intoduction have not been done :)
