Android is the happening thing in the market at present. And the buzz has affected most of us, at least all of the mobile users. And Google promises to keep the buzz alive – with brand new Google Apps for Android users all around the world.
The idea of a smart phone from Google to compete with Apple’s iPhone dates back to 2007. Google fans and patrons were not really happy with the way things were, and wanted to come up with a smart phone that will compete with Apple. It was in November 2007 when the Android was first presented by Google Developers.
Now Google had been looking for partners to help them with the production of phones that will be based on this brand new platform. HC was the first to release an Android phone based on Google’s technology – in the September of 2008.
Motorola followed HTC the next year with Droid, which was released in November 2009. According to many users, Droid has been one of the most successful phones on the Android platform till date.
Google finally came up with its very own phone in January 2010 – again with help from HTC. Since then Google and Android have seen many versions, upgrades and releases, and these have quickly made it the second most popular mobile phone OS worldwide – the first being Symbian.
And Google promises more. The latest released Google apps give your mobile phone the power to carry out enterprise level operations with the maximum ease. Google is also paying special attention to release of season based apps, like special apps for Christmas, New Year, and of course the oncoming seasons.
Android, Symbian and Apple have all added more meaning to internet marketing, making it more mobile and real time.
No matter what Google or Apple (or the others) come up with, the future is definitely going to make businesses consider Mobile website design and development, mobile apps development and of course, mobile SEO and internet marketing!
Just as Google has multiplied its popularity with the help of Android and other Apps for their fans, businesses also need to consider where their consumers are looking, and plan their marketing strategies to show them success above their competitors!
