If you haven’t kept up with the mobile
market, we got news for you—Google's
mobile OS is kicking ass. That’s right. Andy Rubin’s operating system,
which Symbian, Nokia, Microsoft, and yes Apple, considered “no major threat” a few years back is
now the leading U.S. mobile platform. But Android phones aren’t just killing it
on American soil. Recent reports from Gartner have the mobile OS
selling over 427.8 million units worldwide in just the first quarter of 2011. The little OS that could has definitely
come a long way since 2008 when the first-ever
Android device, the T-Mobile G1, was released.
Last year we looked at the market and picked out what we thought were the best Android phones. That list included powerhouses like the HTC EVO and the Droid Incredible.
One year later, we’re ready to break down the next batch of industry-leading
handsets. Dual-core processors, 4G connections, Gingerbread OS, and
accessories that enhance the mobile experience—if you want it, there's an Android phone out there for you.
