A number of years ago, Apple announced a new way to communicate while on the go. We all know this as the iPhone. Since then, it has undergone several upgrades via hardware and OS. With each iteration it’s gotten better. Other manufacturers have tried matching the pure simplicity, beauty and power of the iPhone. Mostly, this turns into a patent war. Yet what Google did with the release of Android, was to provide an alternative end user experience, and rely on those already with smartphone building experience to meet them in the middle. This has led to some very great phones (Nexus S, G2, Evo, etc) and some colossal failures. Now though, with Google acquiring Motorola, the Android game is going to change.
