Infographic: Android’s rise to fame

Blair McClelland December 20, 2012 Android, Mobile

These days Apple's iPhones are not the pinncale of the smartphone world; and mainstream media outlets now refer to smartphones as smartphones instead of iPhones. Android is currently the most popular smartphone operating system across the world and could quite easily take the tablet throne in 2013.

The infographic below takes an interesting look at how Google has nurtured Android to its current day fame and some pretty amazing comparisons to the Big Mac. While the open source nature of Android and the large range of devices has undoubtedly helped Android as a platform greatly; quicker turn arounds for operating system updates for third party devices should be a top priority.

KitGuru says: We expect Android to only further cement its position at the top of the food chain in 2013.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
