Inventor of Mobile Phones is a Google Android Kind of Guy
Ever wonder what the creator of the original mobile phone has to say about modern day smart phones? Well, Martin Cooper happens to be an Android fan. At least for now. The 81 year old mobile phone inventor has expressed his belief that Google Android smart phones are just as capable, if not more so, than an Apple iPhone. The inventor has also mentioned that the iPhone is more suited for younger consumers, which explains why he gave his unit to his grandson.
This is definitely great news for other Android fans out there. Even if this does not determine how well the Samsung Galaxy S or the HTC Desire will fare against the iPhone 4 in terms of sales, it still is quite interesting to note that even the man we have to thank for inventing the first handset is behind the Android OS all the way.
Mr. Cooper has been known to express how he thinks a lot of today’s mobile devices have too many features. And this may mean that other, more essential attributes, are neglected. Considering his vision for mobile phone use, he must be referring to the dependability of a mobile device when it comes to its call features.
Sad to say, Apple’s reception problem is its biggest Achilles heel. Smart consumers know that the issue is hardly fixable through a software update, because it can be attributed to poor design. At any rate, the father of mobile phones has been using an Android device for a few months now and is quite happy with it. That does not mean that he will use it forever though, he is always checking new developments of modern day mobile phones.
Mr. Cooper keeps a number of mobile devices and actively participates in testing upcoming handsets too. Currently, he is testing a Vertu for a company in Europe.
