During Monday’s World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco, Apple officially announced the iPhone 4. While on stage, Steve Jobs made a big deal about the new LCD-based Retina Display, which quadruples the pixel density of the iPhone 3GS current display… so tightly packed that each individual pixel is invisible to the human eye. Jobs confidently asserted that the Retina Display was far superior to existing alternatives… particularly AMOLED panels.
Samsung’s not having any of it. While conceding that the Retina Display’s 960×640 panel is higher resolution than their own Super AMOLED panel, a representative says that “structurally, IPC LCD technology [as in the iPhone 4] can not catch up with AMOLED display technology.”
Why? According to Samsung, AMOLED is still superior in contrast ratio, color reproduction and response time.
Worse? The high resolution of the Retina Display apparently significantly impacts battery impact. “The visibility difference is only 3 to 5 percent. But raising resolution to that level increases battery consumption by 30 percent,” the spokesman said.
Having seen side by side pictures of both the iPhone 4 and Samsung Wave, I’m not sure I agree that the visible difference is only 5%…. but Samsung may well have a point about battery life. Even so, though, Apple’s got around that by making 60% of the iPhone 4’s physical footprint made up of battery, and the iPhone 4’s still got more battery capacity than previous models. It’s a hit I think many of us can live with
If you are thinking that having an 8 megapixel camera and a 4″ touch screen makes any smartphone great, then you are wrong. Nowadays successful smartphones are determined firstly by their OS – better UI, more apps, easy to use and of course reliability built on latest hardware platforms.
Apple may be the game changer in the Smartphone industry, but it seems like Android will turn out to be the leader (we judge about it from the following 5 points). The arrival of Apple and Google into the mobile industry was quite unexpected but their leadership has already made them the top competitors in the market. As a result, previous brands such as Symbian and Windows Mobile are already losing the most part of their market shares. Why are we seeing such change in the trend?
The change in the trend is the result of consumer’s rising expectations from Smartphone. Previously considered to be the only device for corporate professionals, has now turned into a fashion statement and a gadget of geeks. Android and iPhone became a cult similar to iPOD, and has already become an identity of the people. In this competing environment, Microsoft is finding it hard to stand as a strong brand. Much of Microsoft’s failure comes from their reluctance to innovations and being the leader of the industry. Leaving iPhone behind, which has already gained 30% of the market share; it’s more reasonable to compare the Windows mobile with the new Android Phones.
So what are the advantages of Android over Windows Mobile? Here are the five key points, which make Android a better choice than Windows Mobile. It doesn’t sound fair to compare devices with respect to technologies because they can be upgraded and improved with time. Hence, it might be better to look at them with respect to their business and consumer values. Here are my fives.
Open platform ensures continuous innovation and fairness in the product. Large support groups will always be present to help customers to figure out their problems and solving the issues. It also confirms large repository of knowledge which will allow each individual to put some of his/her effort in making the technology lot better.
On the other hand, Windows Mobile is similar to Windows and has a lot of legal bindings. Windows may have led the industry due to their initial domination but the current situation is quite different and changing. It’s a new field with new challenges and we have many great companies in the market which have potential to gain the highest place on the leadership. Unless Windows Mobile understands the importance of consumer’s demand, it has less possibility of increasing its market share.
Further, the increasing awareness of consumer over open platform will certainly promote Android. Hence its Android has a great PR value over Windows Mobile.
Despite Windows leadership for some years they failed to grasp the potential of application store and were reluctant to provide them to users. But Apple changed this bag tradition. Though Windows finally made their Windows Market Place live they are too late in the game.
The developers are already starting to prefer Android due to its potential and openness. It can be inferred that due to their association with Open Software, Android is bound to be more popular among the hardcore developers. This provides a great opportunity for the consumer to take advantages of new application and technology.
Currently Windows Mobile has around 13 different mobile manufacturers including LG, HTC (it also has already launched top Android phones), Sony Ericsson etc, whereas Android has around 18 to 20 companies including some of the top PC makers Dell and Acer.
Lastly, it’s all about being in the trend. Would you choose a technology that is not performing well in the market?
After the arrival of iPhone and Android, Windows mobile and Symbian have seen major falls in their market share. Research shows that Windows Mobile lost 70% of their market share though its newer version of Windows Mobile 6.5 is still struggling in the market. Symbian, the other major OS for majority of mobile on the other hand held devices saw 29% fall in the market Share. Symbian is Nokia’s own Mobile OS.
Currently, new Android powered Motorola Smartphone, Droid, has smashed the sales record by 250 thousand sales in the 1st week of its launch. This is a significant achievement for a new OS that establishes Android as a major player in the industry.
Besides all the advantages of Android over Windows Mobile, there are some segments of users who are comfortable with Windows mobile due to its stability and their enterprise solution. Further, Microsoft is due to release its Windows Mobile 7 which might work on their weakness and become better.
Right now if you are looking for something that is at the tip of technology trend that Android is the operating system. It has great future if they keep their innovation cycle running continuously.

All the breakthrough technology in iPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass — the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable.
