SWOT Analysis of Google’s ANDROID By: Prince Patel 10118060 VI Semester Information Technology The concept was smartphones was simple –“To know every need of user”. Apple was the first company to introduce its users that a mobile phone is more capable of doing things other than texting and calling. The only loophole was that it was limited to apple users. When Google acquired Android Inc. on 2005, the company knew that it will open the doors of company to people hands. Android Operating System has always been an eye candy for the upcoming generation of smartphone users. Here we will see a general SWOT Analysis of Google’s fresh product Android. STRENGTHS * The Google Brand -- The fact that they are behind the Android platform gives it credibility and viability in the eyes of potential partners, vendors, and developers. * Device Selection – Unlike the Apple where you don’t have any options of hardware suppliers other than Apple itself, the Android OS is open-source and any hardware manufacturer who chooses to do so can use it on their handset. This gives consumers a great deal of selection from which to choose from while also decreasing the lead time to the use of the latest hardware and technological advances in mobile electronics. * Competitive Pricing – The Android OS is very cost effective to develop for since it is open source and the licensing arrangements are vendor friendly. * Google application and services integration – The fact that the Android platform integrates so many of the Google services and applications into its base only strengthens its core capabilities and usefulness. Google items such as GMAIL, Calendar, Reader, Listen, and of course GPS and Maps to name a few integrate seamlessly with the Android OS and make it very simple for users to synchronize their data across platforms from the desktop to the cloud
