I Want That Phone

Android phones are becoming more and more popular as each day passes and for once we can say there are phones and operating systems that can finally compete against the fantastic Apple iPhones. Whilst many argue the Android phones aren’t quite there yet, others are suggesting that it’s only a matter of time before Android phones become even more popular than the iPhone.

A couple of examples would be the T Mobile G1 and the MyTouch 3G.

The G1 has been recognised as the first phone to use Google’s Android OS. However, perhaps the hype has fallen a little short as it’s been said that those who bought the phone were a bit disappointed. However, having said that, perhaps we shouldn’t judge too soon as the Android platform is still in its infancy.

What’s nice about the MyTouch 3G is that it has a much better camera phone than the iPhone. Although most people accept the fact that Apple needs to improve this aspect of their phone, the MyTouch has a better camera with 5 megapixels. The T Mobile MyTouch is powered by the Android Cupcake and supposedly has improved on its internal memory of up to 192MB.

What’s nice about the Android system is that apps, similar in nature to the iPhone app store, are being developed and over time there should be just as many, if not more, apps available to those who own a phone on the Android system, which is great news.
