The iOS, a very great OS that has been developed since the making of the iPhone 2G made it out in 2007. Since then, it also has made an App Store that contains lots and lost of Apps that are available to use in the iPhone. This OS is now available to be used on all the Apple products worldwide, for example the iPod, iMac, and the new Apple TV.
The iOS is really great because it really supports user-friendly interface, it allows the user to really set what is inside the phone and set most of the stuffs, like settings, wallpapers, etc. But, you can't really edit the whole OS, maybe to keep the confidentiality.
And then there's the App Store that has been going for 4 months from the first release of the iPhone 2G, and since then has developed and produced lots of apps that has made worldwide scale right now, like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Plants vs Zombies (adapted from the computer game), etc. This App Store is able to open from any type of Mac, even though you don't have the Mac, you could still open it in iTunes which is a free music organizer for your computer, whether you are using Mac or Windows, you can install it inside. But, if you like to create things and would like to upload Apps to the App Store, your app would have to be really good to make it to the App Store, because every criteria that the App World tells you to cover, you have to cover it.
And now, the iOS developers have developed a new feature, the 'Game Center', it automatically integrates with games that are registered within the Game Center, you can play with your friends, share your score, etc., just like an online rank. Another app besides the App Store is the built-in iTunes, it's just like the same iTunes in the computer, but this is only to download songs, podcasts, anything to fill your built-in iPod feature.

The Green Droid
If you are a fan of the technological world, you will notice a very large growth of popularity for this new OS, the 'Android'. The OS was made by Google, and was released to the public on 5th of November 2007 on BETA version, this OS really shocked the world by it's 'Free to edit feature' so that it allows users to easily modify the OS and put it on their PC, Phone, Tablets, etc. Lots of phone companies have taken this OS and put them in their phone models, and lots of modifying have been made to take the function of the phone completely useful and great.
The OS history has taken a lot of versions, starting from the BETA version on 2007 and then it quickly moves on to the 1.0 (released on 2008), 1.1 Banana Bread (on February of 2009), 1.5 Cupcake (on April of 2009), 1.6 Donut, 2.x Eclair, 2.2 FroYo, 2.3.x Gingerbread, 3.x Honeycomb, and the latest Ice Cream Sandwich on 2011. Besides the 'Free to edit' feature, there is the very large and growing App World of the Android which is accessible worldwide for you to get apps, just like a similar smart phone.
But, the App World in this OS is very different from the other, the users are able to just upload their homemade apps right away and it will automatically be right there in the App World, so there will be a large amount of App waiting in the App World to be downloaded and to be used in the Android phones today.

The Big App World of Apple
The BIG App World of Apple was created when the first iPhone was made. Now, there had been billions of apps created by many creators out there. There are lots of categories where you can narrow down the billions of apps out there, like for business, entertainment, music, etc. But, there is a big gap that is the $... value (for us who wants free good apps). So, to get your great free app (sometimes they are great) you could just use the 'Top 25" feature right on the App World Application and tap 'Top Free'. Sometimes they are great apps, showing a new game that is launched and has produced a LITE (Free) Version to try out.
A little thing about LITE version, it gives us the privilege to choose from apps, so that we don't recklessly pick apps in the App World that has some $... value. And another great thing to do is to ask the great Google! to use a keyword like 'Great iPhone apps for ...(fill with the categories [business, entertainment, etc.]) and there you go. VOILA! The Google! finds out the best possible app suggested by many people.
Here are some Apps that I suggest are possible to be used:
1.) For Entertainment:
- Tap Tap Revenge 4 (Play rhythm games, test your thumb skills)
- Cut the Rope (Test your logical and critical thinking)
- Angry Birds (The most booming app in the world right now)
2.) For Business:
- You can find currency, dictionary, gold tracker, etc. Just enter the keyword in the search bar
3.) For Education:
- You could find periodic tables, scientific calculator (just horizontal view the iPhone and it turns into a scientific calculator), etc. Just enter the keyword in the search bar

iPhone 4
The year 2010, the iPhone 4 was released. The new iPhone 4 came with the new iOS 4 and also the new A4 processor which is promised to upgrade the processing speed of the iPhone 4. Also, with the retina display to show incredible colors. But, the rumors say that the first batch of iPhone 4 had a problem in the antenna, so you can't cover the back of the iPhone will calling somebody. But, besides that there are more problems that are found by people across the globe which you could search from Google! But apart from that, the iPhone 4 has many features that the 3Gs doesn't have. For example, a longer battery life, the super A4 processor, the retina display, and the ability to make a personal hotspot by Wi-Fi connection. Overall, the iPhone 4 is a super-cool and super-new phone....
But... If you really want to know about all the flaws of the iPhone that I really find annoying (after searching through Google) are:
- There has been an error in the proximity sensor, so when you call sometimes the screen doesn't go blank and you could press one of the functions accidentally with your face
- The design although is thinner, it's still easy to slip, so you have to buy the silicons, which makes the iPhone bigger and fatter (but there are silicons that doesn't make the phone bigger), and the back of the phone is made of plastic, that could brake and be scratched
- From rumors, the iPhone 4 could only use the Bumper casing made by Apple Company themselves, because of the design that if you use other casings, the back side would be totally busted (but depending on real world situation, I think the casings other than Bumper would work just find on the iPhone 4
- etc.
