The iPhone Has Competition, Big Time

Everybody knows the iPhone. Sleek, Speedy and expensive (Couldn't think of another 'S') But, the device from Apple could have some major competition.

From, not a phone, but a whole generation of phones. The one thing they have in common:

They run Android!

And, what exactly is Android?
Android is a Mobile Phone Operating System.
And, that makes it a bit like Windows for your mobile, but it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

It can be used on any mobile system, and will power a lot of phones, all sharing apps and basic functions. See why it's so good yet?

Because, major phone companies are using it to power their phones.

Sony Ericsson will use it in their X3
HTC have it in their Dream, Magic, Hero and Tattoo phones.
The Samsung Galaxy will use it
Motorola have confirmed that they are working on Android phones.

So, any of them phone companies can produce phones that are better than the iPhone.

Good luck Apple.

Sony Ericsson X3

Look at it!

Flash On Smartphones

New smartphones will have Flash built in, allowing you to watch HD videos, internet games and just normal Flash content. This is exciting, and I hope it will be included in the Sony Ericsson X3!
