Choosing the right mobile OS is, as important as, choosing OS for your PC. Choosing wrong mobile OS may lead you to disappointment in using the hardware, apps and different features of your mobile to the fullest. Windows mobile OS is developed by Microsoft. It replaced previous Windows OS mobile platform. Android is a Linux-based operating system mostly used in smart phones that has touchscreen and also used in tablet computers. Initially Android was developed by Android, Inc., which was later bought by Google in 2005. Android is open source software that allows anyone to freely modify and distribute using permitted license. Moreover, Android has a lot of apps that are written primarily to attract consumers. As of March 2013, there are approximately 7 million apps available to download in Google Play. Latest Android version has unlock by swiping to the right and also other applications can be opened by swiping left. It also has a notification of different apps when user swipes the mobile from the top. Windows interface avoids list of icons and replaced with live tiles. However, the notification system in windows is not effective as Android. windows interface is simple but not impressive. It’s different but not up to the mark! Many top apps are still missing in Windows. For example: Instagram, Viber, Pinterest, HootSuite, Runkeeper, Google+, Spotify are completely missing in Windows. Further, some apps, like YouTube, are just pointers to the mobile sites. People who moved from Android to Windows claims that they are not satisfied with windows apps at all. Windows will definitely take at least 2 years to catch up with Android. At this point it is very safe to say that Android mobiles offer wide range of options in terms of hardware, features, matured interface and apps.
