With the launch of Apple iPhone in Korea, the giants Samsung and LG are teaming up with Google Android to keep their market share and increase their brand awareness in the smartphone segment.
The Google Android with its open source platform provides a tough competition for Apple. Today, many cell phone manufacturers have teamed up with Android technology to offer its users a complete Internet telephony experience.
Portable Media Player (PMP) has adopted Android on their device to link it with the Internet and protect their market share from being confiscated by smartphone segment. Companies like Cowon, iRiver, iStation and Viliv are looking forward to launching their first Google Android based PMP. Why? Since many users prefer to keep their entertainment mobile phones and use PMP to access the Internet. Korea’s top mobile company Pantech has announced Smart Multimedia Player (SMP) based on Android technology and will be released in June. This product will hold close resemblance to their existing Android smartphone versions without voice call feature.
After the immense success of iPad worldwide many PC makers are engaging in Android based tablets.
Android E-book, Android PMP, Android SMP, Android Tablet and Smartphone are no more science fiction!
However, all these companies must have GPS, 5M camera and accelerometer in their products before venturing with Google Android.
