The Rise Of Android

The Growth of Android seems to be unstoppable. With its growing number of users and the opensource developer group, the day is not far when anyone's first choice would be Android. iPhone has shown the way for a need of a phone which had something other than performing the ground task of calling. But limitations.. Three versions of iPhone and not much of upgradations.. The maturity since its launch has remained the same since its launch(apart from a 2g to 3g phone). It was really disappointing this times Apple's WWDC ,there was no major announcement regards to the iPhone..

On the other hand.. look at Android.. Just an year old.. Feature Rich and Growing .. Seems even sky is not the limit of Android.. Handset Manufactureres choice of the day today.. (Of-course Nokia is not and I'm happy about it.. Its always good to have some nake-sake rivals who were giants once upon a time)... The year ahead is the year which is going to experience the power of Android.. With a dozen launches from Motorola.. Half a Dozen from LG.. a couple of Sony...samsung..Kyocera....Haeir.. Acer.. Dell...Asus...Qualcomm..Phillips... Huawei..Lenovo..Toshiba. Barnes & Noble..aa Ohhh.. How can i forget HTC.. which is shifting from its hardcore Windows Mobile business towards Android ... with their lines of Handsets..They are the Giant...

Motorola has had a tough time for the last several quarters...Its been under continuous loss.... One major citation what i feel about Motorola is.. they have always had the best hardwares manufactures.. They have one of the best processes defined in their Organization.. They have one of the best talented employees .. Motorazr was Successful.. But then after that!!!!What went wrong they have been just losers in the market!!! Was that the luxury of Motorola to launch Windows devices instead innovating one ??? Or the the wrong eye perception!!! I remember the day an year back when it decided to scrap all their windows production and go boldly ahead with Android.. And i strongly feel the decision could bhave been ever best to save Motorola from getting buried away ... Today.. Though its still not yet started making out of Android as its not yet out in market for sale.. look at the deals with Verizon!!! T-Mobile.. Its back in the limelight...

Nokia.. Its very interesting to see to stay away from Android.. Its surely not about the scariness that "One Trial phone and may not work out".. Nokia declined on statements for supporting a linux based mobile sets.. Then What blunder is Nokia Maemo....Is that the reason Nokia is not promoting much??? Trying out some copy on the same linux version...Its like to stay single everyone mingles.. But i still smell Android becoming the Transit point for every mobile device manufacturer.. And hope so One day Nokia passes via this transit point...

The power of Opensource in Mobile.. This is first of its kind...

Snow Leopard- the Beginning

First hands on in Snow Leopard- the new operating system for the  Macs by Apple.. I can say one thing.. Apple knows very well what needs to be  delivered and what the user needs it. Excellent performance improvement over the Leopard ...I really couldn't believe   the boot up speed and shutdown(shutdown within 3seconds in-spite so many apps open)... 

I'm just in the beginning of hands on on  Snow Leopard... and everytime i get on to it.. i find something faster.. in-fact speed.. performance has been extended very well..

Apart from this.. Apple has not worked on any new projects for this release.. Good for me.. as I still love the Leopard feel..(Changes always is not good either unless there is a revolution....)

Well... Apart from all these.. what wondered me was the QuickTime Player.. This time, finally apple has shipped the QuickTime Pro for free to all the users// hmm. QuickTime Pro... Great Software...Any doubt!!!!!

Technically.. while i was going through of the re-design factors in snowleopard, major changes from the ground level.. Less coding.. less code... After installing the OS, i regained 7GB of Hard Drive space.(worth for the money what i paid to my OS)The OS is very light weight.. Finder ha been re-written again ... but first time ever in native cocoa...

More updates later on these....
