The mobile smartphone and
tablet
industry seems to have a very prominent divide, with a lot of consumers
having their favorite operating system and choosing to stick to
hardware which is powered by their chosen OS. Obviously fans of Apple’s
iOS use the
iPhone and iPad devices, whereas
Android lovers have a wide range of hardware to choose from due to the fact that the OS is available to multiple manufacturers.
But what happens if you are a die hard fan of iOS, or Windows Phone
but you still want to sample the delights that Android Ice Cream
Sandwich has to offer? I personally am an
iPhone
user for the last five years and will continue to be for the
foreseeable future. But after recently getting my first taste of
Android, I am severely tempted to shell out for a second device so I can
have the benefits that both provide. For those that can’t, or won’t,
purchase a second device then why not run Android 4.0 in virtualization
on your desktop or laptop in order to see the Ice Cream Sandwich
experience first hand?
