Android is an operating system openly developed for mobile devices . its developed by open handset alliance for developers to take maximum advantages of latest upcoming cellphones ,

with android its possible to create applications accordingly with the power cellphone has . android is an open source platform built upon linux kernal .Applications are created with android according to or similar to core applications of the device , further more its develops much concrete database of user’s contacts , bookmarks , emails , other data etc … management is made much easier with this release of OS . beside that it has vast liquidity to power applications with stunning upmost functionality and performance , latest releases like top handsets of HTC , SAMSUNG etc are using Android as basic OS .

Android and symbian are top OS’s for PDA’s , Cellphones and other palm devices , android is new , modern and latest while symbian is still the most popular and widely used Mobile OS . are you thinking to switch to android from symbian or you want to switch to symbian from android ? lets have a brief comparison between two .

Considering UI ( user Interface)
Google Android is developed considering touch input methodology in mind while symbian was developed earlier to support nokia handsets with touch pads .almost 60% of new cellphone models are using touch pad . i have used nokia’s e51 with symbian and HTC magic ( 2nd model to use android as OS) if i compare both i personally found Google Android much user friendly / light and with easy navigation / browsing . tough there are some classic mobile releases like Samsung i8910 HD which is using Symbian OS and it easily beats the HTC magic with HD 720p video recording and playback .
Nokia recently launched N8 its only cell phone with symbian 3 OS , comparing google android and symbian 3 would be a perfect competitive match , i am getting N8 soon would compare both soon , as far my personal suggestion , idea is concerned Google’s Android is much better than Symbian OS.
