There has been a lot of buzz in the news about Google’s Android phones and with good reason. For years the iPhone has been the “product to beat”. The iPhone has become most popular for its apps and I have to admit that the number of apps are impressive. However the iPhone has a key flaw that has kept me from owning one…it is only available with AT&T. Now I know that there are alot of people that love AT&T and so I am sure there will be some disagreements from those who have iPhones but I think the new Android has the potential to not only beat the iPhone but overtake Blackberry as the new standard in business mobility.
One of the best thing about Android phones is that they are available on just about every network. Phones like the HTC Evo from Sprint and the Motorolla Droid are changing the game and creating many opportunities for business clients. Having a presence on multiple carriers and all sharing an app store gives Google a distinct edge over Apple. Now a business doesn’t have to sacrifice the carrier they are satisfied with in order to get the features they want.
As a long time Blackberry user, it is almost a bitter pill to swallow but this year I will be trading in my trusted Blackberry for the HTC EVO from Sprint. If you are using an Android phone leave me your comments, I would like to hear your favorite features of Android.
