Android is the Fastest Growing Mobile OS

Andriod OS, is gaining its grip on the market pretty fast. It is giving a tug of war to Apple.The recent release of Apple was iphone 4 which was pretty good hit on its records but still coudlnt stop its market share from going the Andriod way.
Andriod is a big thing in with the gadget freeks now. I have seen many of my friends choosing andriod mobiles. Most of them might not be aware of andriod but they still going for those phones with a minimal knowldege. So why there is a such a big hype for Andriod in the market. I say the main reason is , Andriod is into gadgets from Midrange to Highend gadgets which is available to the people of middle class and Andriod being opensource there are thousands of applications that can be downloaded on to the mobiles.

Now Why not apple is gaining the grip or in other way why Apple is loosing the grip? The simple answer for this is , Apple havent tied with some of the world’s largest mobile carriers, such as Vodafone and Verizon And when it comes to Microsoft, it has got its own sector or consumer sector.

When looking onto percentages, Android gained 5 per cent market share in the period from April to July 2010. RIM lost 1.8 per cent, Microsoft lost 2.2 per cent.RIM and Apple are still the top smartphone manufacturers in the United States with 40 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively. Android is third on the list but has gained momentum from 12 per cent in April to 17 per cent in July. Gartner also came out with its report last week which stated that Android is set to be the number two OS in global market share by the end of 2010. The report also stated that by 2014 Android will will be battling for market share supremacy with Symbian from Nokia.

Google App Inventor for Android

Google the internet giant has taken another step in approaching the masses for in developing Andriod software. This can be a really good step by google where i was talking about the major problem which is being faced by Microsoft, i.e Opensource. Google is offering a software tool, that is intended to make it easy for people to write applications for its Android smartphones.

Andriod OS has really picked by the opensource community and as i said always Mobile is the next big thing, sorry its already a big thing :), Google is concentrating more on Mobile technologies. Recently HP annouced the cloud technology which is focused mainly towards the mobile users where user can create some tasks on the cloud and they can use it even with mobiles which arent enabled for internet.

Now Google says the user should be a creater not just a consumer .. sounds cool :).Google wanted to allow its users to create applications on the mobile and then use them. They release free software called Google App Inventor for ANdriod.

The freesoftware called Google App Inventor for Android (http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/), has been under development for a year. User testing has been done mainly in schools with groups that included sixth graders, high school girls, nursing students and university undergraduates who are not computer science majors.

“The goal is to enable people to become creators, not just consumers, in this mobile world,”

The interesting fact about this software is, even a non technical user can develop any application on his or her mobile phone just by dragging some code snippets and put them together which results in as a new application :) so simple.

The Google application tool for Android enables people to drag and drop blocks of code —shown as graphic images and representing different smartphone capabilities — and put them together, similar to snapping together Lego blocks. The result is an application on that person’s smartphone.

On user testing of this app, a student created an application which automatically replies to the text messages while driving .. i mean to say "custom messages" like "please do message me iam on driving"... guys i have an idea include Artificial intelligence which starts chatting with your freinds while you perform some other task... :) sounds creepy ha but that day is not too far away i guess.....
