Android Mobile phones take the lead

Its seems that Apples ascendancy isn't going to be without its challengers. In the US in the 6 Months to August 2010 Android Operating System powered mobile phones (which includes the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S, Sony X10 Xperia and HTC Dream mobile phones) have taken the sales leads over Apples iPhone. 32% of Phones sold had Android OS, 26% Apple iPhone OS and 26% Blackberry RIM OS with the balance being made up by the rest of the available mobile operating systems.

While it has taken multiple vendors to achieve knocking Apple iPhone OS off as the number 1 mobile Operating System, this says something about the Android Operating Systems rise in popularity and the pending launch of Google TV wont hurt sales at all.

Also in the the short future will be the release of the Windows Phone 7 devices. Industry experts are predicting that Microsoft will have looked very closely at their competitors in an effort to avoid a repeat of the no so successful Kin operating system. Initial reviews are saying the Windows 7 Mobile Operating system is even more intuitive than Android and Apple OS. In stead of static icons the windows 7 is composed of live tiles that move up and down the start screen based on how often they are used. The live tiles also update in real time so if you use face book for example the last post/contact will be sitting on the tile or you can elect to have the tile just display latest posts from anyone.

The tiles lead to hubs one being the people hub that holds contacts and social info, office hub that has  a range of commercial applications such as one note, office 2010 integration, word power point etc, Games hub which will allow X Box integration and uploads, Picture hub, Music & Video hub for music video etc and a store application with the now ubiquitous Music and apps downloads. Texting seems to be very fast and intuitive

 Australia the handsets will be available as the HTC HD 7 and the LG Optimus 7.
