When Google looks into the future it looks extremely bright for their Android smartphone platform. If you don't want to go that far you could at least say that the future looks much more bright then it did around 2 years back when the Android smartphone platform made its debut. Back then it was just one single smartphone and didn't have much in terms of add-on application offerings.
During the presentation there were some rather impressive figures that we being touted.
* 100,000 new activations of an Android device every day
* 50,000 new acquisitions with the Android Market ever day
The Google team also demoed the new version of the Android software. Many are arguing that this is a major breakout for Android and a larger technological leap that there mere version number of 2.2 indicates.
Some of the interesting and breakthroughs offered within the version upgrade bundle that were out line within the presentation are:
* Much faster performance
* Flash support - There are many who find flash frustrating but having such is good as there are still many videos that require Flash. Important to note is that the iPhone can't play Flash and the Android phones can.
* Backup's automatically
With all of the good things being said about 'Froyo' perhaps the biggest turn off will be that one will have to contact one's cell phone carrier/service supplier and see if the carrier is going to be getting the upgrade. Many aren't right away and HTC for example is stating that all cell phones shipped in 2010 will more than like get the upgrade but only those in the second half of the year.
With extended battery life, this feature should have been advertised as one of the advanced features.
Down the hall from the keynote address was a glass case filled with cell phones and tablet computers which all run the Android software. An impressive demonstration of just how far and quickly the Android software has come. One could view the current hardware and was also given a glimpse into the future from countries/areas such as:
* Sony
* Samsung
* LG
* HTC
* Motorola
From viewing the line up one could confidently conclude that the if there isn't a phone to match your size and shape criteria now there soon will be - even if the hardware is not as elegant as that of the iPhones...
Perhaps with the given line up, people will finally stop asking about the Verizon iPhone.
