Nokia Android, Why Not?

As we all know that Nokia phones do not have the Android Operating System. Therefore, I was so surprised when visiting the Ubergizmo website and found an article about the Nokia N9 boots up in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

 

This is a different experience when we play Android on Nokia phones . How could that happen? This is a modified Nokia by enterprising users which re-install the Nokia N9 OS with Google’s mobile operating system or called NITDroid with an alpha release that sees Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. 

Nothing is too different is happening on the touch screen. It's work. Some of the Nokia N9′s hardware buttons also work, in addition to the headset buttons. Edwin Kee in ubergizmo.com said that YouTube video playback is choppy, so you might want to take note of that, audio and video playback are good to go, while Bluetooth and USB connectivity plays nice as well.

So, if we want to real android so we have to use the real Android Phone. With real Android Phone we get full experience of Android, not false any more.

Rumor has received a negative response, why not? The previous generation of iPhone it has a 3.5-inch screen replaced with a 4.65-inch. It seems that people are accustomed to using the iPhone with the usual size not "jumbo" size.

iPhone 4S | apple.com

Zdnet said "this is a bad idea." But, i think retina display which use in iPhone 5 is awesome. Apple imported it from Korea, and Apple sure that the display is best quality. Apple might be able to bump the screen size up a big - say to 3.75-inch or 4-inch in size - and stick with the current resolution, but both would mean a drop in pixel density compared to the iPhone 4S. Having said that, at around 300ppi and 280ppi respectively, the screen would have a higher density than the new iPad.

In jumbo size, iPhone 5 is more comfortable in gaming and surfing internet and give a free space in the activity in a smartphone, but not practical in terms of mobile. It looks bigger and hard to get into our pockets.
