The Competition of Indoor Navigation

GPS is now used widely when people need help, but the indoor navigation is rarely used. When you go into a strange building or place, you will find that it is very difficult to find the place you go. At this time, people need a indoor navigation service to help them to find the place fast. This article will talk about indoor navigation and hope it will be helpful to you.

I believe most of you have the same experience that I have. When you fist step in a new building, airport or school, you will feel loss and do not know what to do first and where to go. For example, you are in a hospital. It is difficult for you to find the place you want to go. Many hospital use a not that effective way to solve this problem, of course, it does not work at most of the time. They just set different kinds of sign post or just use different colors to guide people. However, now we have a really nice way to solve this problem, using intelligent map system in mobile phone. It makes it's easy to find some places in a building and other indoor places.

In the latest Android map, it includes US IKEA and Macy's and other 18 airport's detailed layout. Almost at the same time, Nokia announced they will release indoor map suing Bluetooth 4.0. Although use two totally different technology, we can smell that the war of indoor map is already begin.

For a long time, Bluetooth has a poor reputation. It maybe because that the headphone looks not like a human or something else. It makes people feel weird. However, Bluetooth is actually a really nice technology: powerful, simple, cheap. And it will be much more smart after the release of Bluetooth 4.0. Nokia's Location Extension Protocol uses the connection of locator transmitter on the ceiling and Bluetooth 4.0. And triangulation method that is similar to GPS. Through this way, your mobile phone can find the place you want to go accurately. It is said that the degree of precision is less than 8 inches.

Nokia has spent over one billion euros and hope this breakthrough technology will bring superiority in the competiton of indoor map. They have also discovered the different application of this tech, from game to indoor navigation. Nokia is now trying their best to persuade Bluetooth SIG to make one uniform standard and hope this kind of mobile phone can come out into market in 2013.

Just like that if there is no specific map, GPS can not work, the indoor navigation system can not work without a detailed architectural and structural drawings. Now Google allows uses to upload or add architectural and structural drawings to Google Maps as they do the same to SketchUp. This is a simple process, users just need upload the picture of the floor's layout and then connect with satellite images of Google Maps. Through this way, Google not only gets many users' support, uploading indoor maps data day and night, they also uses the data for other users, such as services based on location and ads based on location.

What I have said above is not considering the crime, privacy and other safe question. People are now really sensitive to Google Street View. I believe this kind of indoor map data will bring bigger controversy. In conclusion, we need indoor navigation when we are in a strange building to find places fast. However, we need to use it carefully. Hope Google and Nokia will solve these problems and provide us indoor navigation one day.

The Winner of the War of Video Encoder: H.264

According to the report from MeFeedia, over 80% videos are using H.264 as their encoder. If the video is using HTML 5 video tag, it can be played on iPad directly without any help. Of course, this is not mean that you must do that or do that at present. This only means that if you do hope using the same version of video for iPad and other ways, you do not need to reencode you video with other encoder, you just need to use HTML 5 instead of Flash. This report also points that H.264 is now used widely and really popular. A research on Jan. 2010, at that time, only 10% video was using H.264. And the number rises to 80% after only two years.

Thanks to the iPad and other devices's popular, H.264 now dominates the world of video encoder. Most of the devices such as iPad, iPhone, etc support the H.264 hardware acceleration. At May, 2010, the report from MeFeeia showed that only 26% video use H.264 as video encoder.

It's clear that the file which supports HTML 5 is now influce the Giant more and more in video market. Such as Adobe announced that they will no longer provide Flash Player for mobile devices's web browser, all kinds of operation system and other devices. Although WebM from Google has been become open source, it develops really slow. A report from MeFeedia, only 2% video use Google's VP8 as their video encoder. That means that the Google's purchase of On2 Technologies benefits Google nothing at all.

With more and more devices support H.264, the share of it will be higher in the future. Only in case that there is a competitor with enough competitiveness and widely used in the devices which support hardware acceleration, H.264 will be the winner in the war of video encoder.

What is H.264?

H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) is a standard for video compression, and is currently one of the most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of high definition video. The final drafting work on the first version of the standard was completed in May 2003.

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is a block-oriented motion-compensation-based codec standard developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It was the product of a partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team (JVT). The ITU-T H.264 standard and the ISO/IEC MPEG-4 AVC standard (formally, ISO/IEC 14496-10 – MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding) are jointly maintained so that they have identical technical content.

H.264 is perhaps best known as being one of the codec standards for Blu-ray Discs; all Blu-ray Disc players must be able to decode H.264. It is also widely used by streaming internet sources, such as videos from Vimeo, YouTube, and the iTunes Store, web software such as the Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight, broadcast services for DVB and SBTVD, direct-broadcast satellite television services, cable television services, and real-time videoconferencing.

For Reasons for Apple to Launch The 7.85 inch iPad

On this Friday, there was a rumor from Apple supply chain that Apple will launch the 7.85 inch Tablet PC in late 2012. The technology blog GigaOm make a analysis why Apple should promote the small dimension Tablet PC.


Imaginary 7 inch iPad
Athough Apple is leading the Consumer Tablet PC market, and sales of iPad are far above Android Tablet PC, there are still four reasons why Aplle should launch the smaller screen Tablet PC.

First, Smaller Tablet PC is more portable

The smaller size tablet PC with higher frequency of ultilization, can be used in more situations. For example, the Samsung 7 inch Galaxy Tab tablet PC can be carried with you, but iPad is inconvenient in carrying. When the users sit in the yard, or go to Starbucks, iPad can well meet your needs. But in the process of moving, 7 inch flat panel computer is more convenient. The tablet can be packed in your pants or jacket pocket, but iPad can't. Smaller size also makes weight lighter.

Second, Outstanding 7 inch Tablet PC has already been available

Although 7 inch Galaxy Tab brings much convenience, there are still some disadvantages compared with iPad. However, some better 7 inch Tablet PCs have been available such as bookstore Nook tablet PC and Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet PC. The two products are very popular in this Christmas season. Portability is one of advantages, but more important is the lower price. These 7 inch flat panel computers sell for $199 to $249. Although these tablets can only provide 80% functions of iPad, the price occupies only 40% of it. Maybe Aplle will not throw away the market to Bookstore and Amazon manufactures.

Third, iPod Touch has been less attractive than ever

Some people think that since iPod Tough exists, there is no necessary for Apple to launch the smaller iPad, but this is just one of the reasons that Apple should launch the smaller iPad. As Apple communicates with more and more Operators, consumers are purchasing iPhone more, leading the iPod Touch sales gradually slide down. Some Android mobile phone users may purchase iPod Touch as a supplement, but iPhone users will not do so. Recently, the investment put into iPod Touch is less and less, among the product line update items only increases the white version. This suggests that, as one product line, iPod Touch is gradually towards the end.

Fourth, Price of the smaller iPad can be reduced to the level of iPod Touch

If Apple eventually gave up iPod Touch, it will be lack of products whose price is from 199 to 399 dollars. Apple can launch the small size iPad, whose price is $199, to compete with Kindle Fire. Similar to iPod Touch and the current iPad, the $199 iPad can be the product of WiFi version unrelated to operators, and with 3G module version, the price will be improved. To those consumers, who wish to obtain iPad experience and think price of $499 is too high, 199 to $399 products will meet their needs. Industry insiders guess that, the price of smaller size iPad may be associated with iPod Touch, while the larger storage capacity will have the higher price. Although the launch of small size iPad is appropriate, it does not mean that the current 10 inch iPad is not good. However, the small size iPad has a living space. The best opportunity for Apple to launch the small size iPad will be in September, 2012, the traditional iPod conference. This will help Apple develop better the next Christmas market.

Is Apple iPad 3 coming out in early 2012?

According to a Citi analyst, Apple’s next-generation iPad -- likely called an iPad 3, is expected to come out in early 2012. If recent analysis about Apple's imminent tablet plans are true, the third-generation iPad will arrive sometime between February and April 2012. In a research note sent last Thursday, Richard Gardner said "several sources" indicated that Apple would launch its next-generation iOS tablet as much as a month earlier than it released the iPad 2 in 2011.

Such a device would be similar to the iPad 2, but include Apple's high-resolution retina display technology found on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S by doubling the iPad 3's screen resolution, said analyst Richard Gardner in a research note. The analyst also said that "there do not appear to be any significant technical hurdles remaining" to prevent the launch of a high-resolution iPad, which contradicts previous reports that fitting such a dense screen into an Apple tablet was one of the reasons Apple iPad 2 maintained the 1024 x 768 resolution of the first iPad. Both the first iPad and iPad 2 displays have a pixel density of 132 pixels per inch.

It’s reported that another feature of the next-generation iPad will have the same screen size but will be a bit thicker than the iPad 2, in order to support hardware that would increase the display resolution from 1,024-by-768 pixels to 2,048-by-1,536. iLounge's best source thinks that the iPad 3 will be 0.7 mm thicker, and trade magazine Digitimes has reported that Apple is at least considering a thicker unit in order to accommodate the sensors necessary for the better, so-called Retina Display (so dubbed because, according to Apple, the human eye cannot make out the individual pixels on the screen). If the iPad 3 does come out with a thicker body, it will join in on the great American tradition of emerging from the wintertime fatter than before.

Production of the new iPads is expected to reach 9.5-9.8 million units in the first quarter of 2012. Sales of iPad products totaled 25.06 million in the first three quarters of 2011 and are likely to reach 40 million units for all of 2011, the sources estimated. However, the new Android tablets like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime look to be much better direct competition for the iOS-based iPad than the first generation of tablets based on Google's mobile operating system. Cheaper, smaller device like Amazon's Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet, and even a sub-$100 tablet using a MIPS-based chip are starting to appear.

Apple could head off competition from similarly priced Android tablets at the pass by getting its latest, greatest tablet technology out a bit sooner than expected. That would also have the effect of reducing prices for older versions of the iPad, which would encourage consumers attracted to the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet to instead climb aboard the iOS platform at a discount.

Carrier IQ Meets with FCC and FTC, Explaining Privacy Concerns

Carrier IQ, the embattled phone-monitoring software maker, sought meetings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to educate the two agencies about the functionality of its software and answer any and all questions this week. Although Congressman Markey has asked the FTC to investigate the practices of Carrier IQ, we are not aware of an official investigation into Carrier IQ at this time.

The Federal Trade Commission is the US organization that protects consumer privacy and enforces privacy-related laws, and would be Carrier IQ’s primary foe if an investigation is undertaken. “Consumers and families need to understand who is siphoning off and storing their personal information every time they use their smart phone,” Markey said. “I am asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate this practice, and I will continue to monitor this important privacy issue.”

However, the FTC did not immediately respond to a request for information, the agency does not generally reveal the subjects of its investigations unless the company at issue makes it public. For those who need a refresher, Carrier IQ made headlines in recent weeks after a researcher, Trevor Eckhart, suggested that the technology is secretly embedded on many popular phones and can gather personal data about users. Carrier IQ said its technology is used for diagnostic purposes and denied logging keystrokes or being able to read the content of emails, text messages, or Web sites.

Lawsuits have been filed against Carrier IQ and some carriers, while lawmakers are peppering Carrier IQ with questions and asking the FTC to investigate - which looks like it just may be happening. The public backlash has been fast and furious, in part fueled by the company's reaction to the initial report - Carrier IQ served a cease-and-desist order on Eckhart. The company eventually backed down after the Electronic Frontier Foundation got involved on Eckhart's behalf, but the damage was done as the move made it seem like Carrier IQ was trying to censor a whistleblower and had something to hide.

More recently, there were reports that the FBI was using Carrier IQ software. A blogger filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request asking for details about the agency's use of the technology, but that request was denied because, the FBI said, it might interfere with law enforcement efforts. Someone speculates that "What is still unclear is whether the FBI used Carrier IQ's software in its own investigations, whether it is currently investigating Carrier IQ. The response would seem to indicate at least the former, since the request was specifically for documents related directly to accessing and analyzing Carrier IQ data."

Carrier IQ came out on the charm defensive, releasing a comprehensive FAQ detailing exactly what – and what not – was supposedly collected by its network monitoring tools. Nonetheless, many carriers themselves have been quick to put distance between them and the analytics firm.

Carrier IQ was found in New Android Applications

The company behind the now-notorious Carrier IQ software that has been found to log every keystroke pressed, website visited and text message sent by 150 million mobile phone users. Carrier IQ, of course, professes its innocence, but the company has also received some public support from security researchers who say Carrier IQ software is only tracking diagnostic information and likely is not violating user privacy. Now, Carrier IQ has elaborated upon many arguments with a more detailed breakdown of how its software functions, and a more substantive defense of its practices.

During a recent interview with the Register, Carrier IQ VP of marketing Andrew Coward acknowledged that his company's mobile software logs keystrokes, intercepts text messages and gathers geographic data, but insisted that the overwhelming majority of this information is discarded almost as soon as it comes in, thereby posing virtually no threat to user privacy.

Carrier IQ only retains text messages or keystroke patterns that carry proprietary tags. These tags identify all transmissions that could be used to populate analytic data, including some that may be considered sensitive. If a user drops a call, for instance, the system will note his or her location, and the numbers of each party. In other cases, the company may receive a special SMS, which provides Carrier IQ with important diagnostic information.

Now, Carrier IQ has legal and publicity problems to handle. One new class-action lawsuit names both Carrier IQ and HTC, accusing the companies of violations under the Federal Wiretap Act. Another lawsuit was filed against Carrier IQ as well as HTC and Samsung, both of which have confirmed installing Carrier IQ software on their Smartphone, saying they do so at the request of wireless carriers.

Why Android only? Carrier IQ is no longer supported as of iOS 5 (Apple insists its customers have to opt-in before any information about their Smartphone is shipped off to Apple HQ), and blocking its effects on your iOS 5-based iPhone is super-easy: Click on your Settings button, then General, About, Diagnostics & Usage, and select " Don't Send."

However, Carrier IQ is a bit more integrated within the Android OS – so much so, that you'll need to root your device prior to attempting any removal efforts. But the first step in the process is finding out whether your Smartphone has Carrier IQ installed to begin with. And Lookout's new application makes this a one-touch affair.

Carrier IQ boasts that its software is deployed on more than 141 million handsets, and has operated for several years without any major level of controversy. Clearly, Smartphone would be capable of tracking much of our activity even if Carrier IQ never existed. But the lawsuits filed against Carrier IQ and its customers, and forthcoming responses to Franken's letters, should shed more light on exactly what information is collected and how it is used.

Inside Apple’s new flagship store in Grand Central Terminal, New York

Apple’s new flagship store, occupying 23,000 square feet, is one of the world's largest Apple stores, opening on Friday at Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal in New York. It is located in the heart of the historic terminal and convenient for commuters and tourists alike. Apple signed a 10-year lease with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) for the space, once occupied by a restaurant. The store is so huge and owns a staff of 350, bringing the number of Apple's New York area employees to more than 4,000.

The company’s newest retail location will offer everything Apple customers are accustomed to -- a full product line, a “genius bar,” and personal training -- as well as a few amenities designed for time-strapped commuters, according to Bob Bridger, Apple’s vice president of retail real estate and development. “Whether you are on the train, in a taxi or walking to the store, when you arrive to the station, just pick it up,” You're greeted with an iconic glowing Apple, under which Apple's best-selling products are available right at the front of the store, meaning if you want an iPad, you can be in and out in a flash.

Besides, Macs and two Genius bars are located through the doors to the left and iPods, iPhones, iPads, and accessories are to the right. As you browse through products, you look out over the enormous hall, with the station's beautiful mural on the ceiling above you and various commuters below. The store seems to have been carefully crafted to fit in with the architecture of the building, which is no surprise since Apple has stores in historic spots all over the world, like underneath the Louvre and London's Covent Garden.

While many customers have been expressing frustration at difficulties with getting the attention of store employees to complete simple transactions, the new self-checkout avoids that situation entirely while freeing those staff members for more specialized consultation and training with other customers. Apple has reportedly noted that it envisions self-checkout and another system in which customers can pickup online orders in-store eventually being the primary ways in which customers make purchases from Apple retail stores. As an extra bonus to commuters, Apple is providing free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. Also, the store will be the first to offer 15-minute Express Workshops of "tips and tricks in a streamlined format to serve customers on a tight schedule".

Like all of Apple's stores, the new digs are set up as a place of learning to explore Apple products along someone who can guide you in your purchases and get you up and running before you walk out of the store. The mega-brand is sure to get lots of foot-traffic, with the crowds passing through Grand Central each day and over 1,000,000 people during the holidays. And Demographics listed on Grand Central Station's website show that an average 7,500 people an hour pass the corner of 42nd and Vanderbilt Avenue, making it one of the busiest intersections in the city. Apple recently renovated the Fifth Avenue store and is in the process of expanding its SoHo location.

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said: “Android has been leading Apple iPhone”.

Google Cairman Eric Schmidt said today, in intelligent mobile phone market, Android has already been ahead of the Apple iPhone.

Google Cairman Eric Schmidt

Today Schmidt at the LeWeb meeting in Paris said: "Android is now ahead of the iPhone." After Schmidt published the speech, that room is filled with the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Having heard Schmidt's remark, the audience suddenly fell into silent for a moment. Maybe they doubt on Schmidt's speech.
Schmidt then gives his own criteria:" huge volume, high performance Android 4.0, lower price, as well as many mobile phone manufacturers’ support."

Industry insiders said, in the intelligent mobile phone market, Android is developing rapidly. But compared with Apple iOS, the obvious disadvantage is Android has not become the preferred platform for developers. Notebook application developer Evernote today only released a new application Hello for iPhone.

Social News reader Flipboard has already launched iPhone application. Flipboard CEO Mike McCue said:" We have been concerned about the iPhone. As with the Android version, we are still waiting."

Schmidt believed that, with the Android 4.0 and huge volume, Android will win. Schmidt said: "in the end, application developers will be affected by the volume, and Google's open strategy will promote the shipment growth. So many manufacturers promote Android mobile phones to the world, whether they like it or not, people will support this platform, even considering it as the preferred platform."

Acer and Lenovo will release quad-core Tegra 3 tablets early next year

Rumors have surfaced that Acer and Lenovo are lining up Android 4.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) tablets with NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 GPU for launch in the first quarter of 2012. The companies haven’t specified what models they’re going to launch, while the devices are designed to compete with Asus's forth coming Eee Pad Transformer Prime, a hybrid tablet that also packs a Tegra 3 processor. Digitimes suggested that Acer’s Iconia Tabs, the upcoming Lenovo tablet, and a future Samsung Galaxy Tab would all be unveiled at CES or Mobile World Congress next year.

Tablet and Smartphone zealots have been salivating over the quad-core ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 3 for some time, and the processor is at the tipping point for appearance in real, purchasable devices. The Transformer Prime's Tegra 3 is clocked at 1.3GHz, though it is shipping as Android 4-capable, there's a window for Acer or Lenovo to slip in as the first tablet to market with that OS.

The new quad-core tablets should be much more powerful than their dual-core predecessors, while the latest generation may not much better against Apple’s upcoming iPad 3, sources say, as they potentially wouldn’t be “fundamentally different than their predecessors and would be trading mostly on their speed”. The sources also speculate that “since non-Apple players’ machines have no advantage to compete against Amazon or Apple’s tablet PC devices, non-Apple players will together account for only 10-15% of the total tablet PC market.” That is to say, the iPad is indeed still king.

It is reported that you'll be able to snag a nifty Acer and Lenovo’s Tablet with a quad-core GPU for between $459 and $599 in 2012. Since neither Acer nor Lenovo have a direct advantage over Apple or Amazon's tablet devices, the mathematical formulas prove that owning a reasonably priced tablet with a quad-core GPU does make you the coolest kid on the block. This would put them essentially in direct competition with the iPad.

Android 4.0 VS iOS 5 Let You Know Which You Want

iOS 5 and Android 4.0 are now the best two mobile operation systems in the world. Which is better? No one can tell. In this article, I will show you iOS 5 and Android 4.0's advantage and disadvantage together. After reading my article, maybe you will know which one do you want.

After the release of iOS 5 and Android 4.0, people always talk about which is better. It is really difficult to say that iOS 5 is better than Android 4.0 or Android 4.0 is better than iOS 5. Today I will compare the features, advantage, disadvantage, hardware and other features from the two most popular mobile operation systems. I believe that you will know more about them after read my article.

From iOS 4 to iOS 5, we can not find big surprise, instead we can see the perfect in details, such as drop-down menu and other new features borrow from Android. That maybe because iOS is already powerful and perfect. People can not find any big disadvantage on it.

In contrast, Android 4.0 has more improvement than the previous version. We not only see the redesigned interface and many upgrades in details, but also we notice the integration of Android mobile phone and Android Tablet in the brand new Android 4.0. Of course, you can understand this as the integration of Android and this is a good news for developers and hardware producers. However, in today's mobile phone area, all the customers care about the apps more than hardware, a well-developed platform can attract more app developers. This will brings more business to them.

As we talking about above, apps is now more important than hardware and game plays a big role in app. In iOS 5 and Android 4.0, which one provides a better game experience for users? I think iOS 5 is better than Android 4.0 now. The game experience in iOS is absolutely better than Android. This is not only because iOS has its own Game Center, but also because the hardware of the devices. For example, the new iPhone 4s has dual-core Graphics processor, while in Android phones, only Samsung Galaxy nexus is comparable. In Android 4.0, we only find the new 3D driver. Now I can not say how much it can improve the game experience.

In the new iOS 5 and iPhone 4s, Apple's iCloud becomes a highlights. In fact, it is developed from MobileMe service, which aims to keep the consistency of data from different platform. In addition to the new features, such as photos, bookmarks, presentation's sync, it also can sync your apps from iOS 5 to Cloud.

Although Android 4.0 does not provide this kind of service, users can also enjoy the convenient brought by cloud services. Now Android users can update and sync data with multi devices in 24 hours and Android also provides Gmail contact backup and other services.

Though there are many rumors about the NFC in the new generation of iPhone, Apple still choose Bluetooth 4.0 as the way of its data exchange in close distance. While in the Android 4.0, Google brings us Android Beam function. It can help users to share app, webpage, map and video with NFC tech. It is definitely the trends in future.

That is not only because google published its Google Wallet Service, but also many producers from different area add NFC tech to their products, especially Nokia, the biggest mobile phone producer, add NFC as a standard function to their mobile phones. We can see clearly that NFC is becoming the trends in future. So, even though iPhone 4s does not add NFC, Apple will use NFC in their next generation of iPhone for sure, just as the rumor. What is different is that Apple may show his creative and use it to give users a different experience.

I believe that many people may think that in future, except better hardware, what's the future of smart phone. So Apple released its voice assistant service, siri, which is a really creative thing that provides users a totally different experience, and become the focus of the smartphone field.

While, back to the topic, Apple releases siri is under a certain situation that hardware update can not attract users' attention any more. Just like iPhone 4's facetime, Apple always can find the advantage of the design to show their personality. However, after the first few month's fresh, I don't think people will speak to their smart phone on the street.

Voice assistant appear on Android system long before. But due to the limitation on content, voice assistant on Android is far behind iPhone 4s's Siri. Even though Android's voice assistant also has a nice performance. It can help you to make a call, send SMS, open GPS, play music and take a note and so on.

SNS is now play a big role in all the smart phone producers. In this section, both Android and iOS have their own killer. IOS 5 only built-in Twitter and iMessage function can be used after you turn on the iPhone 4s, do not need to register and it can match your friends automatically.

While in Android 4.0, Google releases new function People, it makes the contact as the focus and it integrates Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and communication tools and it will support custom third party service in future.

I have to say that multitask gestures is used more and more than before in the two operation systems. For example, in iOS 5 you can turn off an app by folding four fingers and without using the home button. So it is possible to cancel the home button in future.

In conclusion, Android 4.0 has more upgrades and update than iOS 5 and it has more powerful hardware. But the two mobile operation system have their own advantage and disadvantage and different user experience. Users will get their own point of view on them. Just as the saying that Android system tells you what you can do, but iOS do that for you. Here I can tell which one is better than the other one and the competition between Android and iOS will becomes more and more intense for sure. So when you choose smart phone yourself, choose the one you like.
