Phone Wars!

     So by now everyone knows about the ongoing rivals between all the major Smart phone platforms. But who is the overall champ? And is there really one that takes the gold. So is it the Apple's iPhone Os, Window's mobile, or Google's Android.

     I have tested and used all these phones platforms, but none of them seem to me as rich or as smooth as the iPhone Os. Over the few years that the iPhone has been out and I have been able to use it, it has shown that it is just at the threshold of were it can go. The iPhones multi touch kills its competitors in the sense of input (excluding the palm pre, not yet released). This Os shows apples simplistic design at its fullest, this platform screams simple but powerful.

     Personally I love Apple Products, hardware and software. But over the years I have been using Windows mobile for all my mobile needs. Even though I hate to say it Windows has made a platform that allows for many different developers to create what is needed in the community. Many of the programs for WM are actually amazing and mostly freeware. Yes you can find many of them on the iPhone but there are some that are just missing. Hopefully if we give the iPhone Os just a few more years we will truly see how powerful the platform is, even though we do know it is powerful and has already covered the ground that Windows Mobile has taken so long to cover.

     The newbie in the mobile platform arena is the Google Android platform. This platform mainly focusing on developers could in a few years with the development of a few new phones and apps. This platform could be the overall winner of the phone wars. Even thought the platform has very few apps available at this time the open developing platform could steal many of the iPhones developers and defiantly the dwindling Windows Mobile developers. The Android Os is the closest thing I have seen to the iPhone Os, it has its own app store, apps are fairly crisp and new, and it’s also a kind of polished.

     Right now its to early to decide who wins, but what i want to know is who do you think wins the war between platforms?

iPhone by far. Everyone copied the iPhone yet nothing can compare to the the iphones touch screen. Almost every single other touch screen phone has some sort of lag when you touch it.

Every other phone you have to pay for every single app and they are very limited. Other phones are just so hard to use and you have to learn how to use it. The iPhone just makes it so simple to find your way around and find something.

And people who disagree with that are just sorry old saps who couldn't afford the iphone or they couldn't switch service providers. They are just phone scrooges.
