Google recently (last summer-ish) relaunched its app store in the form of Google Play. With roughly 45% of smartphone users owning an android phone (iPhones are around 27%) and with android tablets making a dent in tablet market, Google finally decided to invest its considerable talents and resources in designing a user-friendly store.
Same apps, different format. Nice experience. Movies, books, music, apps and more.
I just recently bought my son a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7 inch) for his birthday. He will be 9. As much as I love my iPad and use it as my main means of media consumption, I bought the Samsung for my son for a number of reasons:
- Price...$179 vs $329 for the iPad mini...great deal for a tablet.
- Customization...Android devices are much less restricted by software and "whatever" Apple is selling.
- Expandable memory
- File formats...much easier to watch, read, enjoy multiple formats for books, videos and documents
- Apps...Google Play and the Apple Store have the same number of apps available
- Challenge...for my tech-savvy soon-to-be 9 year old, I love the challenge that android devices provides. He might not excel at reading, but he overachieves in technology.
Check out the Google Play store.
