steveroberts   10 #1 Posted August 13, 2010 Apple have dominated the mobile device market for the past few years; both my wife and I have iPhones (mine out of sufference due to the constant nagging of my kids ) and have proven to be very useful.  Recently, my business partner (who is 20 years younger than me) got an Android based phone which he swears by.  He showed it to my kids and they were hooked...rather than wanting iPhones they have chosen Android based phones instead.  I'd be interested to find out from everyone if they think Android will become the O/S of choice? What about Microsoft's new O/S? What does everyone think will be the commercial opportunities for business? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

JonnyRandom   10 #5 Posted August 13, 2010 Good thread here http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=623637. I recently had to make the choice and went for HTC Desire and am not disappointed. Apparently in the U.S android is outselling the iPhone. Personally I think there's a lot of hype with the iPhone and Apple do a great marketing job.

JFKvsNixon   11 #9 Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) A more important question for both Google and Apple is which operating system will work better on tablets, as it's all about finding new markets.
