Launch of new smartphones over the last half of the deacade marked a shift of paradigm for the mobile phone world.
No doubt Apple’s revolutionary product iPhone paved the way for innovating a common man’s smartphone. Because Apple iPhone was exclusively for the enterprise class users.
Smartphones that could be used to phone, email and browse the web have been a huge hit and eversince Apple iPhone there came a league of smartphones that joined the bandwagon.
The many smarphones that are sweeping the market are acknowledged as much as iPhone killer, and the new kid on the block is the Droid.
Looks like its time to check if iPhone will have its foot grounded in the smartphone market.
Google Android
Google didn’t concentrate on hardware design but designed Android OS (Operating System).
What Google has been doing is to partner with hardware makers to roll down newer smartphones, and the Android OS running smartphone is the Motorola Droid, and it is pitted against the Apple iPhone.
RIM and Blackberry
Then, BlackBerry smartphones simply outsmart Apple iPhone when it comes to sales and the RIM builds its own startegies to beat iPhone in attracting consumers and its recent models; Blackberyy Curve, Blackberry Storm and Blackberyy Pearl are raved by Blackberry consumers. However, Blackberry still needs to evolve to impress the browse-savvy consumers. If only RIM can innovate a better browser interface it can think of kick butting the Apple iPhone.
Palm smartphones
Palm had been ruling the smartphones market for so long and Palm takes credit to release first smartphone in US and with time they only became better.
Palm Treo was the first and then with the touchscreen interface the smartphone Palm Pre hit the market. The Palm Pre features new WebOS. However, Palm Pre didn’t live to the expectations of smartphone lovers. Then Palm Pixi had been the new bet in the smartphones market. It featured same WebOS operating system, but Pixi had been aimed to attract the low end of the smartphone market. Palm Pixi is an affordable smartphone which has some of the Palm Pre features.
If Google evolves its own hardware, it might well kick off the Apple iPhone from the smartphone market, and even RIM and Palm will have to improve hardware. Maybe Palm if improved it can well become iPhone killer.
