Google Android-based phones will fall to silly prices in 2010

Google Android-based phones will fall to silly prices in 2010

2009 was a strange year in the world of cell phones, Google Android based handsets has been taking the world by storm but would you believe that only 10 were launched. However, things will be a little different in 2010 as more than 50 Android handsets by different vendors will be launched.

If Apple thought that the iPhone was under attack in 2009, then they have not seen anything yet. We know that these handsets did not bother the iPhone this year, but how would the smartphone king be able to handle the assault from 50 Google Android handsets?

We have heard a number of rumors that Apple plan to launch the iPhone 4G in 2010, but this will come at a premium. According to PC World, these new Android smartphones will fall to silly prices in 2010, this could certainly persuade users to make the switch to Android.

We recently mentioned that Android based smartphones would takeover the iPhone in 2012, this is because Apple only have one handset running the iPhone OS, whereas there are more handsets running Android.

This has certainly got me thinking, Apple have done a superb job with just one handset. Apple also has another trick up its sleeve, what if the iPhone was made available to Verizon Wireless users.

Would Android ever be able to close the gap to the iPhone then?

    I think that the Apple are already sweating about the hype of the Android area. Especially with the HTC Hero. It does exactly what the iPhone does, the only down-fall of the Hero though is publicity. The iPhone is known to all, is more-or-less owned by all who want something of the like, and is the one that the shops will recommend to them when looking.

    Once phone manufacturers start making revisions like the iPhone does (3g, 3gs, and so on), then this is the time when it will over-take the iPhone. Otherwise people will just be switching from device to device, needing to know the new layout.

    I reckon that in 2011, Android-powered handsets will cotton to this fact and re-produce and improve their current handsets…and i’ll stick with them throughout!
