Many users are writing about iPhone 3G S performance and its features, in my last post you might observe that many reviews are against iPhone 3G S on top blogs but still it the most talkative device on blogs and forums now a days. Here i found an interesting comparison of iPhone 3Gs with the rest of the devices on one blog.
Andriod (G1 & G2)
Andriod was the first true competitor to the iPhone, and with more interest from cellphone makers and some promises of more Andriod Phones this year, Andriod is a growing threat to the iPhone.
The G1 never truly beat the iPhone to start off with, even though it came very close and is a fantastic phone for those of you attachted to T-Mobile. The iPhone 3GS continues the lead over Andriod’s army of devices, thought the mild changes don’t put it very far ahead.
iPhone OS 3.0 should do much more than the actual hardware of the iPhone 3GS. 3.0 will offer a lot of unique and compelling features that will bare over Andriod. Andriod still has some features that I would kill for on an iPhone (Push GMail, Physical Keyboard & Soft Keyboard, etc), but I think the iPhone pulls ahead of it, even with the still very apartent flaws in the iPhone 3GS.
RIM & Blackberry
Well, the Storm blew over and now one really cared, it wasn’t what RIM does best, but did try to give the iPhone a run for its money with Sure-Press. In the end, I think that RIM’s new generation of Blackberries poses a lot of threat against the iPhone, especially in the business market.
RIM and Microsoft already own the business market, but the iPhone has given good attempts to steal some of the market share from them. With exchange support, 3G networking, global search, push calender, push contacts, and push email, the iPhone offers enough to entice some of the busniess elite!
The business market has yet to taken by the iPhone, but the real war is in the genearl consumer market. Blackberries make great messaging phones and are more than business phones. The addition of the App World, better Media features, and better screens will push blackberries into the consumer realm and battle the iPhone, but it has a ways to go before it will truly challeng e the iPhone.
Windows Mobile
In truth, Apple murders Windows Mobile for Consumers, and gives it a good fight in the professional world. With the addition of more business oriented features, it will continue to push Microsoft back especially since Windows Mobile is fairly weak at the moment.
Mobile OS X is by far lap and bounds ahead of Windows Mobile, even thought Windows Mobile is more business oriented OS. If Microsoft doesn’t redo or make MAJOR changes to their OS, the preasure from both RIM and Apple could begin to take out Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile has yet to really compete with the iPhone.
Palm Pre and Web OS
The Pre is the first phone that really beat or at least matched the iPhone. Web OS seems really fast and its multitasking is something that the iPhone won’t have for a while (if ever!). Sprint is also better than AT&T, which makes the whole phone a little better.
With the additions of the iPhone 3GS, Apple definitely remains in battle with the Pre, but it doesn’t offer enough to knock it out. If anything, the lower price and features of the $99 iPhone 3G will make it a major threat to the other smartphones! Until Apple introduces some major changes like multi-tasking, switch to a better network (I really want them to go to Verizon), or something else game changing (I have faith that Apple could come up with something else that no one has thought of yet), the Pre is still on the level of the iPhone 3GS.
In Summary:
The iPhone 3GS retains all of the features of the older iPhones, which lets it pick up right where Apple left the iPhone 3G. This keeps it at the front of the pack and the changes that they’ve made have only helped it, but without any major game changing features, other smartphone makers aren’t too far behind. The lack of major upgrades also gives other companies time to catch up, which could lead to a smartphone that completely defeats the iPhone. For now though, the iPhone 3GS remains on top.
