Good question, . The replies here run the usual spectrum — calls out hype, reminds everyone that “Android” is many vendors, and back particular brands, and focus on form factor and specs, and warns about upgrade churn. Rather than picking a single brand name, it helps to judge contenders by concrete, repeatable factors.

The platform that becomes dominant usually wins on a combination of:

  • Ecosystem: services and accounts that keep users inside a platform (cloud, payments, media).
  • Developer mindshare: how attractive the platform is for building and monetizing apps.
  • Distribution: carrier and retail reach, especially in key regions and emerging markets.
  • Update/support cadence: who keeps devices secure and current.
  • Price segmentation: ability to serve both flagships and low-cost buyers.
  • Hardware+software integration: repeatable experiences that competitors can’t copy easily.
  • Supply-chain and margins: scale to fund R&D and services.

Watch measurable signals over time rather than single leaks or reviews: growth in active installed base, developer activity and app releases, services revenue and ecosystem stickiness, OS update rates, and carrier distribution deals. Those signals separate short-lived hype from a durable platform.

For readers deciding what to buy or bet on: focus on which factors matter to you — app availability, privacy, long-term updates, or a particular hardware feature — and prefer platforms that show strength on those signals. Also heed and : “what’s cool” drives attention, but sustainable dominance comes from real network effects and support, not just hype.

Whichever can envelop the "in" crowd will be the victor.

There is a lot of money to be made through the use hype.

APPLE

Samsung Note Series will start to dominate from this year except for those Lovers of iPhone that are hooked on the marketing. The Note Series are mini tablets with awesome power and large screen area. Kogan have the best deals for phones on the net as far as I know. Go check out the Samsung Note II 64 gb storage with mini SD to expand to 128 Gb and plenty of RAM to handle anything.

No doubt Samsung will dominate the mobile industry. I think Tabwar is growing rapidly this time.

If apple can do something amazing with the next iphone, then yes... they will rule. ATM, they are in a tough duel with Samsung...

The next iPhone should have better resolution, better battery, bigger screen, better camera, and so much more...

Apparently Apple are supposidly releasing 2 iPhones this year, the 5S and a cheaper iPhone for people with a lower budget . . . all a load of Bull to me, they churn them out with new thing that aren't even ground breaking anymore and people that are hooked on Apple witll buy them (or people that have invested too much money in accesseries to changed).

I bought my sister's old 3Gs a few months ago, they are a good bit of kit but there's no point in paying for "the next big iPhone" every 6 months.

That is why you wait every 1-2 years before you buy anything apple... The cheaper iPhone is probably going to be 10 dollars cheaper...
