Recently the blogosphere has gone a bit crazy, excuse my lack of hyperbole about the Android platform. Was this ‘Android’ supposed to do battle with the iPhone?
Just because no operators or manufacturers have openly commented about their smart phone sales figures doesn’t mean its bad news. Looking at the number of Android powered phones out now or due in the next 2 months shows a lot of promise
- HTC Hero – some bloggers say it’s the best Android yet
- G1 – the funny one with the flip out keyboard, still only with T-Mobile
- Magic – Vodafone took this and the Android platform global
- HTC Tattoo – out this week
- Motorola DEXT – a lifesaver for Motorola – probably the phone that stops a sinking ship. Reviewers go crazy about its Moto Blur interface
As well we know that Sony Ericsson has an Android phone coming and the other manufacturers have been toying with this platform.
As far as smartphones go though – Nokia admitted this week they have lost some of their steam – losing out to Apple and not being able to come up with a device that is just as iconic. Sales figures for Q2 2009 still show Blackberry as the most popular.
