Android vs iPhone

I recently read an article on CNN.com about Android outperforming iPhones  and Blackeberry in a market research report  by comScore. According to the article, two and a half years from its inception to the U.S market, the google Android is the most popular Smartphone in the U.S. According to the market research by comScore, the android is rising above the iPhone and Blackberry. (Sutter, 2011).

            Being just in the market, the Blackberry seems to be popular, and belonging to Apple,  the iPhone seems to be the coolest phone. However, consumers are more drawn to the Android. The reason according to CNN is the variety of options the Android provides. While there is only one iPhone, there are dozens of android options. While the iPhone is only  with AT&T, Android phones are major U.S wireless networks  as well as smaller carriers . Having oprios makes it attractive to consumers. (Sutter, 2011).

            The Android versus iPhone tug of war has a lot of things said about both phones. The iPhone faithful call Android developers not capable of original thought and their rise is just temporary. This is a war that will be interesting to watch. Whether Android will completely outweigh the iPhone or the iPhone will regain its glory, only time will tell. But for now, more consumers use Androids compared to iPhones.
