Android vs. Windows Mobile

If you are under the opinion that a great camera and a cool looking touch screen is what that determines the credibility of today’s Smart Phones they you are clearly mistaken. Like out PC, the Smart Phones today use an Operating System. And these Operating Systems are those which determine the speed, versatility and diligence of a Smart Phone.

The inception of Apple and Google in the Smart Phone business has increased the competition in this field which was once ruled by Android and Windows. The comparison was wide open few years ago but Android has taken a clear lead in the recent past due to two main points.

The first one is obviously the App Market which Android offers. There are millions of new applications arriving for Android on a daily basis which makes it the favorite among youth. Then comes Android’s relationship with Google. Quite frankly, without Google we can’t survive and Microsoft doesn’t have rights to access Google’s products exclusively in their OS.

Apple iPad vs. Kindle DX

Although an Apple iPad is like the ultimate pick, but its steep price is way out of reach for many people. The humungous starting price of $499 tag is attached to the gorgeous new iPad, hence comes the comparison between it and the Kindle DX.

The only similarity between the two is that both have an amazing 9.7 inch display but that’s it. Unlike the iPad the Kindle DX uses an electronic ink based technology, where as the iPad is a touch screen. Although at a glance the Apple iPad might look way more impressive than the DX, but if researched properly, it isn’t a bad buy after all. If, you are in the look out for just an e-book reader, the Kindle DX can solve the purpose just as good as the iPad. You get it for a lesser price and the purpose is well served. It is only when you want something extra along with your e-book and you are ready to pay the price, can you go for the iPad. Hence pick according to your preference and affordability and enjoy reading e-books like never before.
