The World Of SmartPhone(Android/I-Phone)

Hello Friends,

    Welcome to my world of Smart phone(Android/I-Phone) Application Development..

Hey Android fans, do you know these facts?
- 60% of Android users are under the age of 34

- For 45% of Android users, Android is their first smartphone.

- 46% Android users prefer touchscreen over a physical keyboard

- 33% of Android users have 50 apps on their Android device

- Android was developed by Android Inc in 2003 by Andy Rubin and Rich Miner and Google Purchased Android Inc in 2005 for $50 million

- The first mobile phone based on android operating system was TheHTC dream. It was released on 22 October 2008.

 Hey I-Phone fans, do you know these facts?

-Before deciding to build the iPhone and iPad, Apple considered other product  categories, including crazzy stuff like cars and cameras.(Wired)

-The iPhone was code-named “Project Purple.”

-When Scott Forstall, SVP of iOS software, started hiring what would become the iPhone team, he was told by Steve Jobs he couldn’t bring in anyone from outside Apple. (AllThingsD)

-Once the team was in place, they took over a floor in a building at Apple HQ, added extra security, and hung a Fight Club poster outside. As in, don’t talk about Project Purple. (CNET)

-Even as the iPhone’s popularity has soared, Apple has continued to lavish more millions on campaigns advertising the device. It spent $97.5 million in 2008 on iPhone ads in the U.S., $149.6 million in 2009, and $173.3 million in 2010. It spent almost that much, $149.5 million, on iPad ads in 2010. (AllThingsD)

-Because it lost a bid to keep a customer survey secret, we know more about iPhone owners’ buying habits. Like that they are a cautious bunch: 78 percent of them buy a case for their device. (WSJ)
