ANDROID VS IOS

Android vs iOS war is going to intensify in the months and years to come. Google has just claimed that Android will get 1 billion activations in a year

Google dreams of attaining 1 billion Android activations within a year. Eric Schmidt, chairman of the Mountain View web giant, hopes that Android will surpass the magical 1 billion mark in a year. As of now, Android gets 1.3 million activations a day, meaning that it will easily hit 1 million before a year, the former Google CEO told to All Things D.

“We just announced 1.3 million activations of Android phones per day globally – per day,” Schmidt said. “Do a little math with me,” he asked. “If you’re at 1.3 [million activations per day], times 365 [days a year], and of course that number doubling every six months or something like this. This is well more than a billion devices globally perhaps within a year,” he added.

Android Vs Apple
 NeedlessNeedless to say, Apple is the chief rival to Android. Reigning over more than half of the global smartphone market, Android has always been in a clash with Apple iPhone. The Google chairman is well aware of the threat from Apple. He has admitted that the Android Vs Apple is the defining fight in tech market today. “I believe that the Android-Apple platform fight is the defining fight in the industry today,” he said.

He went on to laud Apple for an enormously large platform for devs, cloud services and others. He also admitted that Apple has lots of talented engineers and the company is great in managing content, content, apps and partnerships. But, he added that “the Google platform, Android, is even larger” and it is going to get further dominant over all its rivals.

“Surveys that we’ve seen of unit volume indicate that there are four times as many Android phones as there are iPhones,” he recalled. The battle between Apple and Google has entered into a new level with the launch of a set of new Android devices and iPhone 5. The new iPhone 5 with iOS 6 has received lots of gripes from consumers over some of its downfalls that Apple even admitted. Meanwhile, Android is doing well with fresh updates like Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.Android Domination
