Google’s Android has been grabbing a fair share of the market over the last year or so. While it may have struggled a little out of the gate, Google has worked hard to improve the OS and bring it to a wider audience.
There’s no question that Microsoft’s Windows Mobile has declined over the same period of time. Lack of updates combined with a core OS that hasn’t changed in almost 5 years, has lead to a significant decline in consumers perception. Its been said that Microsoft is done in the mobile space and version 7 of Windows Mobile will be the final version. There’s no doubt in my mind that Microsoft is in this for the long haul. They haven’t come this far just to stumble and hand it all over to Google. I expect we’ll see some significant changes from Microsoft before the year is done.
Over the next couple weeks I will be posting a number of articles that compare the two platforms in an effort to help shine a light on the strengths and differences between these two dominate players.
I know that there are other companies working hard in the mobile space like Apple, RIM, and Nokia. This series of articles is aimed at comparing Google and Microsoft as I find these two platforms are very closely aligned. For a number of reasons that I won’t get into now, I feel that Apple, Rim and Nokia fall into a different category.
