Android is the phone of the future

Phone of the future!

According to internet and cellphone expert Arthur Goldstick Android will be the smart phone of the future. He said If Blackberry will not adapt to the ever changing mobile industry most blackberry users will move over to android within the next 2 years.

"Any phone can use the Android software, unlike Apple [iPhone] and RIM [BlackBerry], which are specific to their phones. This means that many manufacturers can produce a cheap smartphone and they can all communicate," Goldstuck said.

"While data use is growing experimentally in SA, people are still being held back by the high cost of data and are being careful about how data are being used.

"In Kenya, it makes sense to use SMSes to interrogate market prices, but in SA it's more expensive than taxi fare, so it's cheaper for consumers to get in a taxi and go to [the] shops," he said.
