Cell Phone OS's and what will take the market

Remember the days's when every cell phone was bulky and had a screen that you could almost make out the number you were trying to dial. Well we are way past those days and now can do everything on a cell phone that you can on a actual computer. Most cell phone manufacturers are now using CPU's that are running at 600 Mhz and are hitting 1Ghz and will soon be even faster.

In this corner building a app market at a rapid rate and is creating a smooth and easy to use UI for the phones, Android. And in this corner we have Mac Mobil OS. Which has a app market with millions of songs, and thousands of apps that are both growing as well.

So as a iPhone user for a few years now, I have a small favor to the iPhone and its OS and app store. But now seeing some new emerging tech from places like HTC with the EVO and HERO (Evo will be out summer 2010) and other companies starting to follow by building phones with faster components and the ANDROID phone OS I'm starting to wonder what direction the big players will do to sway the buyer.

At&t has had the market for the iphone, but I feel a change coming, At&t will loose a lot of customers if they can't provide the best services for the all the iPhone can do. Yeah it works now, but there is so much more it could do, and can do better. Some of the other carriers have seen this and are giving more options and better features for the user.

Apple needs to kick it up several notches if (when) they get the new phone out sometime this summer. If they don't pull a trick out of their magic apple hat I think that they will suffer in every market.

I think that summer 2010 will be a time to watch and see what happens to the cell phone market.
