Get ready for Android apps mania

| Wednesday, March 9, 2011
From health tips to free books, Google is set to woo its users with new apps.

The battle between Microsoft and Google in the tablet and mobile space is heating up. But, if the response to Andriod devices in the biggest technology fair – the Mobile World Congress 2011 – is anything to go by, Android seems to be pulling ahead in the race.

Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt in his keynote address said Android was seeing 300,000 activations a day. The operating system (OS) can run on 170 different devices manufactured by 27 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in 69 countries and boasts of over 150,000 applications in its app store. Whichever way you look at it, these are impressive numbers.
Google stole the show with innovative applications on the Android at the fair. This, despite the recent Microsoft-Nokia tie-up to use its Windows operating system on smartphones. The Symbian operating system used by the world’s largest mobile handset manufacturer had earlier failed to compete with the Android and iPhone OS.
