Google buys Motorola!

Google has recently bought Motorola Mobility at a deal of $12.5 billion. Motorola mobility is a major mobile phone making brand which has a few decently designed yet powerful smartphones and now as it has been taken up by Google, Androids might get a new personal identity like iOS. Apple has kept the iOS compatible only for Apple portable devices which have a touch User Interface. Android is an open source mobile operating system and can be used on any device which makes the software of much lower quality as compared to Apple's iOS. This deal tells us that Google wants to leave Apple's iPhone, iPod and iPad behind which is a very difficult task and no brand is able to do it till now. Will this deal bring Apple down? Will this Google and Motorola together become the number 1 mobile device brand? Let's see what are the tactics and possibilities behind this deal.

Google's Android is an open source operating system and was available to every mobile device of any brand except Apple. This compatibility with so many devices led to creation of so many versions of Android and by versions I not only mean the software versions but I also mean the UI versions like every mobile will have difference in the resolution and for that Google has to make a new version with particular resolution and features according to the Mobile Device. This re-sizing of the OS again and again makes the UI of the Apps look very boring. At the other hand Apple's iOS is available only for Apple Mobile Devices and hence the size ration never changes although the resolution changes and thats why they have less versions and are give much more sharper and better quality UI for Apps than Androids.

Google Becoming a Threat for Apple?

Will this tie-up of Google and Motorola Mobility become a threat for Apple? I think it is possible for a sometime but when Apple will start launching its long rumored iOS devices like iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5G, iPad 3S/iPad 4 and iPad Mini then Google will not be able to do anything other than just sitting and watching the success of these devices and the long lines at Apple Stores during the first few weeks of launch.

iPhone 5 : Is It Just The 5th Row of icons?

The most awaited iPhone is finally out with an all new design and features. The new iPhone almost seems like the pictures of the iPhone 5 leaked before the launch. This iPhone doesn't seem quite different on the first sight but when you go deep into it's functionalities then we see the difference. iPhone 5 now has a 4 inch screen whose height is increased to keep the width same as before so that typing with one hand is easy. The iSight camera just got even better with the panorama feature which gives a resolution of 28MP but the normal camera remains 8MP. iPhone 5 is much lighter and thinner than ever which some people think is a disadvantage of the iPhone. Some people say that expensive and valuable things like an expensive watch should be heavy not light. Some say that lighter iPhone have more chances of falling as we may not feel that we are carrying it. I don't think the lightness is a problem instead it is an advantage because first of a...

A lot of iOS devices expected this year!

We are now getting a lot of rumors that Apple will launch its new generation of iPhone, iPad etc. but I don't think that bringing all these innovations together will be a good idea. So, first of all lets have a look at all the rumors that are turning up for this year. 1. iPhone Because of the launch of such great and new smart phones by Samsung and HTC like HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy SIII, Apple really needs to launch a new generation of iPhone which would be named iPhone 5 rather than putting some other alphabet to the number of the generation. iPhone 5 is expected to be Tim Cook's first own designed product after Steve Jobs. We all know that the iPhone 4S's design was already given by Steve Jobs before he died. 2. iPad Although the bringing of new tablets to the portable computer segment is now slowing down a bit and because of this Samsung might prepare himself to give us a new generation of their 'Tab'. The newer tabs can be more powerful and m...
