Smart Phones: Windows vs. Android
With time, phones have changed drastically. First from the house phone to the “brick phone,” flip phone and now touch screen. Not too long ago Google and Microsoft Windows created smart phones that were really similar to the Apple iPhone, which was the phone that achieved better management of apps—BlackBerry being the first to launch phone applications.
