iPhone 5 To Crush The Competition

In tech industry there is nothing better than winning over new customers. After all when your product is of quality enough to gain serious attraction of people. However, even winning over a customer isn't always a guarantee of long term success. The beautiful thing about technology based industries such as the


mobile communications sector is the fact that customers can be "re-won" again, meaning that in order to be successful the company needs to constantly better their products to prevent consumers such as you and me from being blown away to other products.

Said that, the next generation of Apple's iPhone is going to be up against stiff competition in the constantly growing mobile market. Just like past, Apple is going to have to compete with RIM's Blackberry OS, Google's popular Android platform, Microsoft's up coming Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) and last but not the least Nokia's /out-dated/struggling-to-keep/ symbian Anna OS or whatsoever. Now, seeing the global mobile users chat it is now clear that Nokia is struggling to keep up its market share as iPhone OS(iOS) and Google's Android is taking over the share market of global mobile OS.

Starting off with Blackberry, you have to realize that RIM's mobile operating system never had satisfied general consumer like you and I. It is always being used by business personel and enterprise users. But the fact is, all of the features that we see in BBOS have been implemented and improved upon iOS and Android OS.
But iOS 5 is going to take this a step further. The implementation of iCloud will give business users all of the synchronization features they would ever need and do it all for free. So when you really think about it, iOS is becoming more flexible for enterprise smartphone than blackberry was or is. And I still don't know why Ncell is providing corporate services only with Blackberry smartphone.

Moving onto the topic of Android, I really do think that Google is going to need to do quite a bit of damage control if they want to keep its OS as popular and productive as they are now from its release back in 2008. Android is and as I believe iOS major competitor and this OS has been improving every time with new innovations and ideas.

In the case of Finland based Nokia, it is sure that the company is struggling at the moment and I feel very poor on the Nepalese people that they still take Nokia as the best and blindly gets to market to buy it. Tell you what Nokia is playing gamble with its OS releases at the moment last year or so the company stated it will be developing so called MeeGo OS but that all went in vein and Nokia is now presenting Symbian Anna as the indicative smartphone for its high end devices. Hope this gamble works for them...

Throw in the fact that the iPhone is not exclusive to Nepal. I now see lots of people carrying iPhones and iPods in their hands. Tell you what, if you use iPhone for just a week then I'm sure you wont move from it, it makes lure everybody towards it, even the anti-apple geeks too. With the availability of hundreds of thousands of apps, you can now choose everything you desired and wanted in a smartphone to be smart.
These floodgates are opening for iPhone to strengthen its hold on the smartphone industry. Again!
