The Future of Smartphones
Whether you own a Nokia C3, HTC Hero, or a Samsung Omnia, which are examples of the latest smartphones today, there's a slow merge starting to occur. Their OS or Operating Systems. Most of the major smart phone manufacturer's prefer to use Adroid as their newest phone's OS. Why so? Why not Symbian or iOS(iPod-iPad OS)? For the past few years, they dominated the mobile phone OS market.
But then came Android. The little green guy as some call it. It was more aesthetically better, performed faster, easier navigation and others more. The most important thing about Android is it's compatibility with most phone manufacturers. Most of the phone giants like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC and Motorola. Android's flexibility even extends to PC tablets!
Now, I'm not trying to tell you to worship the Android OS. My point here is that in the near future, we might be using very flexible smart phones. Just like the PC or Laptops and Netbooks, you can change the OS. Imagine a future where you could buy a smartphone and if you don't like the OS, just swap it!
But I don't think this would be happening real soon, this might take time, in my estimation about 7 to 10 years for manufacturer's to agree on this new innovative idea since they would still need to give up on their own OSes or convince their loyal consumers that it is time to change. What do you think? Feel free to share your views!
