The statement that Android will come among topmost OS was laughable few years ago. But now in 2014, everyone will agree that Android is an unbeatable OS. Eight years have been passed since the release of first android version and now its version 4.4 (Kitkat) which is the latest version of Android.
In year 2013, android hits approx. 81.3% activations. According to a report from research firm Gartner, actual Android device shipments will top 1 billion in 2014. Not too shabby!
Those billions of handsets which will be shipped in 2014 will be coming from lots of manufacturers. Except the huge number of manufacturers, there are plenty of reasons for the success of Android.
Endless Options :
Apple is Apple because Apple has an image to maintain. That means that options in the world of Apple translate to case colors and memory figures. There are simply more choices in the world of Android – spend a lot or a little; big or small; grownup workhorse or family-family entertainment center – chances are that whatever the consumer's needs there will be an Android device that's a perfect fit thanks to hardware diversity. But let's take the concept of choice one step further. For the layperson, there are widgets allowing for customization beyond the normal range of options. And for the developer, the sky is the limit.
User Friendly :
Google's OS is just plain solid. Apple enthusiasts love to talk up the benefits of the iOS, but for those who aren't in the Apple fan club Android can seem more intuitive and overall easier to use. There are also more sharing opportunities, more apps and more opportunities to customize the user experience – and at this point, no sacrifice in computing power compared to the iPhone or iPad.
Available For All The Price Groups :
There is an Android device for nearly every budget. At the top of the scale there's the cream of the crop and at the bottom there are tablets so inexpensive you can put them in a toddler's Christmas stocking. In between there are plenty of high quality devices that are more than adequate for the average user. Buying through a carrier can sweeten the deal.
So that's what's happening now. The question people are asking is "What's next?" And the answer depends largely on whether Android is thriving simply because it's the default OS on the low-cost alternatives to Apple devices or on the momentum created by its own virtues. A couple of years of strong sales showings mean chances are good that Android has now come fully into its own but in either picture, 2014 is shaping up to be a defining year in the OS race.
