Nexus One Vs iPhone – The Battle Has Just Begun

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:19:35 +0000

Apple’s iPhone has cornered the smartphone market, right? Perhaps, but a new phone operating system, Android, has started making ground in the same arena. Android is Google’s mobile operating system, which, unlike Apple’s iPhone, has shown up on mobile phones from many different mobile companies, including T-Mobile and Verizon.

This cross company approach has caused Android to gain in popularity because it does not project the exclusionist attitude that many consumers see Apple’s iPhone as portraying. The Nexus One, the newest Android phone to hit the market, has taken this cross company approach even farther – Google is offering an unlocked version of the phone that can be used with nearly any mobile company’s sim card.

Apple’s iPhone does have an extraordinary and astronomical collection of applications available for the phone, but Android has an up and coming market place as well. In fact, the market place currently offers nearly 60,000 applications to android users, many of which are available for free. And while the iPhone has a lot of internal memory (either 16 or 32 GB), there is no way to expand it. The Nexus One on the other hand, comes with a 4 GB micro SD card, but the phone can currently handle up to a 32 GB micro SD card, and if previous Android phones are any indicator, as micro SD card sizes continue to grow, Google will offer updates to their operating system so that it can handle larger card sizes.

The iPhone also does not have a removable battery, which helps to make the phone slim and sleek, but can also be annoying when the battery dies. Though Apple boasts that the battery can last an extremely long time, everyone who has ever had any kind of cell phone knows that sometimes batteries just do not last and if or when this happens with the iPhone, you have to send it back to Apple to get it fixed. You can not simply go out and buy another battery for it. The Nexus One has a removable battery and is still very thin and sleek – only 59.8 millimeters wide by 11.5 millimeters deep and 119 millimeters high and still just weighs 130 grams with the battery installed.

Finally, though the iPhone does seem to have the market cornered on being a music playing phone, Android and the Nexus One are coming on strong as well. Android phones come preloaded with the Amazon mp3 marketplace, which enables users to purchase songs directly from their phone. The preloaded music player on Android is also very good and plays are variety of music formats, some of which the iPhone can not handle. Moreover, there is a multitude of free applications available on the Android application marketplace that offers a lot more music playing options.

Though the iPhone seems to be the popular choice, the Nexus One’s cross company approach and large amount of customization options makes it a strong competitor. And with Google always trying to improve its products through continuous updates, this phone may just be the top phone before you know it.
