There is no doubt now, Android is everywhere! Not only on smartphones, but also on tablets, on netbooks, on portable media players (PMP), on mobile Internet devices (MID), on set top boxes (STB), integrated in cars, in airplanes… This very specific Operating System is more and more the prefered choice for the consumer industry.
AndroidConvergence.com has the ambition to reference all devices powered by Android in the US market, to provide all technical references and pointers for each single device, to regularly report technological trends.
Don’t be afraid of fragmentation anymore, AndroidConvergence.com is ready to be the reference !
In nothing but 3 years, Android has gain 25,5% of the worldwide smartphones market share and is growing so fast that more than 200,000 android smartphones are activated each day.
You would be suprised by the number of new created android smartphones being populated into the US market each month. One could easily be lost among all the devices which integrate various hardware capabilities coming with a specific Android version.
It's now time to have a clear idea by browsing the smartphones category of AndroidConvergence :)
Tablets are the 'big thing' of 2010. Consumer industry is establishing a solid market foundation on these devices and 2011 will surprise us in this area. People are enthusiastic about tablets which bring a very new usage at home, at work, while travelling and so...
Android is proactively bringing new software (i.e Android 2.3 out early december) to enhance user experience on such high screen devices.
Netbooks are small laptops, often cheap compared to other laptops and come with limited hardware capabilities for basic usage (Internet, wordprocessing and so...).
The performance of the Android Operating System make it a perfect candidate for enhancing user experience on such devices. This is all the more relevant as Android has made its reputation on even less powerfull devices such as smartphones.
With thousands of applications on the market, netbooks on Android are no more for basic usage :)
Portable Media Players (shortly PmP) & Mobile Internet Devices (shortly MiD) are quite interesting devices for Android users as the Android Market is gaining lots of high quality games (angryBirds) as well as rich featured multimedia applications.
Imagine your TV full of apps. Imagine browsing the Internet on your TV. Imagine controlling your TV with your phone. Imagine interacting with your social network directly through your TV. Imagine your TV has a homepage custumized by yourself. Imagine your TV being a photo frame.
Don't imagine anymore, this is what is called : GoogleTV.
We are happy to announce you that today is a great day. Indeed, AndroidConvergence.com is now launched. As you can notice, the website is designed to be the cleanest and the most easy to use in order to offer you the best user experience. We are the world's first website entirely dedicated to reference all android devices in the US market. And we want to make it great. So forget about heavy websites with irrelevant data. AndroidConvergence.com is now your reference :)
The website is divided into several sections in which devices are highlighted either on grid view, or on list view or even on design view (which gives a very new dimension for browsing devices). With 40+ android devices, we have a solid foundation and we are planning to double this number by the end of the month.
So more and more devices will follow up very soon. You can also share with us your feedback.
