Cellular South Will Get Android This Year

by

This is some great news for all of us living in Southern US! Cellular South is planning on releasing an Android Phone later this year. Nothing is known about Cellular South’s Android Device other than that they are in fact planning on releasing one. I did think it was interesting how smaller Carriers are looking for other ways to get more involved with smartphones and challenge AT&T’s success with the iPhone. Cellular South thinks that:

Android-powered devices are one of the fastest growing sectors in the wireless industry with worldwide sales expected to soon eclipse the most popular smartphones on the market today, including the Apple iPhone(TM), according to a March 2009 report by Informa Telecoms and Media, a London-based research house specializing in the mobile, broadband and television industries. In 2009 alone, the Android mobile operating system is expected to see a growth rate of 900 percent, according to a May 2009 report on the worldwide smartphone market by Strategy Analytics, a Newton, Maine-based global research and consulting firm.

While agree that Android will cut into some of the iPhones thunder, I don’t see the Android Devices “eclipsing the most popular smartphones on the market today”. Time will tell, but in the mean time, we will keep you posted about the upcoming release of Cellular South’s Android Device.
