THIS FAR WE'VE COME!

Buckle up Guys am about to take you on a trip down Memory lane as I review the developments in the mobile industry that history has had the pleasure (displeasure too) to experience.

I do remember back in the day when my Dad bought his first phone (felt like a chunk of wood in the pocket). It was a Siemens,I cannot remember the exact model tho’ but I do remember that it had a red-yellow backlight and text was only in Black. It didn’t give us the pleasure of changing themes when we felt like and the ringtones weren’t that good either:all polyphonic. Imagining that one day phones would have full HD capabilities with Pixel density higher than some PC’s was all but a dream.

Snake Xenzia was todays Angry Birds and Space Shuttle was todays Temple Run. I remember my first phone,a Nokia 1110,I could operate it with my eyes closed,now try that with a Nokia Lumia and tell me what happens.

We owe the emergence of the current smartphones to competition. Though not so good to the manufacturer, it is the best thing that could ever happen to consumers; One man’s trash…

Apple inc. was the first company to create a smartphone after which other companies like Samsung copied the idea and developed their own phones, better than their predecessors but still couldn’t match the iPhone's brilliance. They weren’t entirely Touchphones per se but Pressphones. It was a milestone tho'. Apple revolutionized the Smartphone market with it's iPhone, and soon after Samsung and other companies would produce their gadgets to compete with the iPhone.

In the technological market, there are always two key players in the industry. Initially the smartphone market was dominated by Blackberry and Apple(What's with this guys and fruits?...totally weird!)... Blackberry nearly collapsed and new entrants like hTC came and conquered the market. hTC encountered its share of problems and was overtaken by Samsung. For the past year couple of years Samsung and Apple have been 'Head-to-Head' in the multi-billion dollar industry exhibiting competition like never before. Nokia is now making its way to the table of 'Big Boys' with its new brand of phones; The Lumia series. I gotta say, Lumia 920 is not only the best  Lumia, but the best phone created by the Tech giant-Nokia, and according  to me  currently the best Smartphone in the market.Its operating system is way stable than android, its transition super smooth with a friendly GUI(Graphical User Interface)GUIand some amazing inbuilt apps like the people app. It feels girlish in the hand, looks girlish due to its variety of skins, unlike the iPhone which fells like an expensive heavy metal people app(an it surely is).  The Lumia runs on windows 8 platform which was voted by PCmag as the most user friendly mobile operating system. It seems like the Lumia is the only Nokia phone 'Connecting People' (well Motorolla is still saying Hello to itself)...Am not so good with cash but am going to save for this one.Yea,It’s that Good!

But here’s the thing;the Tech industry is like a Vicious cycle, one minute yo on top, after a blink yo nowhere to be heard or seen.

Yea,that's how far we've come and we're not there yet!
