Android Market VS Apple Apps Store - Battle Of The Giants

There are quite a number of discussions lately regarding the differences between Apple's iPhone and Google's Andriod. This is a largely debated issued with the operating systems and the gadgets themselves that are in use today. There is less emphasis on the apps stores though. There are a few differences between the Apple apps store and Android market, and you should decide which is the best for you.

Clearly, Apple is closing its doors to open apps. Applications must be submitted to Apple for reviews and Apple will then decide if that app can be sold or not in the Apple App store. On the other hand, Andriod Market is an open system, where developers can directly publish their apps to the market without having to go through any authority. This would mean that the Android Market wil have more varieties, but you migh need to sacrifice quality for quantity. Thankfully, there is a rating system and comments section which can help eradicate those poorly designed apps. The iPhone and Android-based mobiles are probably one of the best gadgets today, thanks to these apps.

Android Market also allows a full refund if you are unhappy with your purchase. All you have to do is to uninstall the app within 24 hours of buying. This is a lot better and makes shopping for the right apps more convenient. If the app does not work properly, or is something that you don't like, then uninstall it and you get a full refund. Apple does not allow that though. Make sure you like the app before buying it! If you wish to buy either of these gadgets, please check your right for more information!

Samsung Jet mobile gadget


Samsung has come up with a feature gadget that is even smarter than a smartphone, that only push people and review sites gaming for a test. The touchscreen phone packs an 800 MHz processor, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support and a series of other wireless features.

It is compact and fits into the pocket rather well, and the buttons are well designed. However, you can leave your fingerprints rather easily. No real complains about it, since most mobile gadgets have this problem anyway.

There is a hexagonal button that lies below the screen, which looks rather cool I think. the Samsung Jet runs on TouchWiz 2.0. You have a 3.1", 800 X 480 display screen, and you can display your widgets on the 3 home screens there.

You can find 2 quite a number of cool widgets such as the weather, news and apps, which require an internet connnection. There are 34 preinstalled widgets, which is not too bad, and you can find tons of others through a simple search. There is a shortcut button where you can access the Media Gate. The motion recognition is quite interactive, and you can shake the mobile to end applications and also double tap to play music and take pictures.

There is this Speak call accelerometer-based functions found on the Jet. Moving the phone away from your face during a call and placing it on a flat surface activates the speakphone. I thought this is rather cool. With an onscreen alphanumeric pad or a QWERTY keyboard, you can send messages with ease. All in all, this is a cool gadget that is worth looking into.

Google pumps money into Zynga, the company behind FarmVille

There are some sources that cite Zynga will be the cornerstone for a new service by Google, the Google games. It is set to be launched at the end of this year.

It seems like there is no stopping Google. They are everywhere, from search engines, to social sites, to mobiles, to news, to books, and now games. In April this year, they hired Mark DeLoura, a gaming expert to be the mastermind behind Google games. TechCrunch also reported that Google has invested $100-$200 million in the FarmVille mastermind Zynga.

What does this signify? The Google games can take a huge share of followers off Facebook this time round. This is especially so, since there are many privacy issues that surface from FB recently. We are now looking at what Google is coming up next, probably a profile portal as well? Be prepared for the onslaughter!

With the Wii looking for take the world by storm, I hope Nintendo can come up with more Wii games. There is a serious shortage of games these days. Blah!
