With products highlights the breakthrough is the iPhone, Apple has opened up a “mobile market open”, also known as “Mobile 2.0“. While there are many products under study this excellent work, most of which are not a competitor and was the product of Apple discolor quickly. But will the iPhone has kept room of their own in the coming time, which is his big as Google and RIM begin launching the product in the world is not waiting for anything bad times released iPhone ago.
Beginning of this month, the G-Phone first named HTC G1 with the operating system Android was born, and in May 11, RIM will also be released BlackBerry Storm. The two products this will be a real competitor to the iPhone hardware, software and operating systems capable of real competition.
Of course, these devices are always great when you see versions of the product demos, and they are certainly has its own weaknesses, like the frustration that users have previously won for the iPhone in both versions (they I can point through a few examples such as iTunes are required to synchronize data, there is no functional cutting and pasting text, in each time only one application is operating, proprietary system developed, exclusive the right distribution system applications, poor security, a new operating system work slow and unstable …). But whether they are still not perfect, HTC and BlackBerry G1 Storm is really opponents of the iPhone, with the same goal lead to let users browse the web devices convenient, efficient messaging and the ability to come in in many applications are plentiful.
In the first, it seems HTC G1 towards consumers more popular than the U.S. business people, because it does not support system for enterprises such as Microsoft Exchange, and other security functions does not really been clearly identified. But no matter why this product will also have a lot of applications elaborately, as well as the ability to support Web equivalent iPhone.
About the advantages and negative points of the HTC G1, we can point through a few details:

Weak points: The Gmail compatible; only synchronize with applications on a host of Google (not synchronized with the desktop); limited support files; the number of applications it ỏi initial; not compatible iTunes library.
Meanwhile, the BlackBerry Storm vice versa, the product was directed to a user’s business people more clearly. Email system of BackBerry have long occupied the experience of users through professional strength security of it. At the same time, this new product also promises web browsing features similar to iPhone.

Talking about opponents such as Palm OS and other devices using Windows Mobile, on the theory recreate them are opponents of the iPhone. However, since the iPhone is formed companies are not really have any products to attract attention. Both Palm and Microsoft are developing new versions of the operating system for your mobile, and they will soon be able to participate in races. But both manufacturers this necessarily must overcome many challenges to be able to open “Mobile Brand Names“
