Published on Sep 03, 2023

Abstract

Tracking all your expenses and incomes so as to put you on the path to financial stability and Tracking expenses and incomes by week, month and year as well as by categories. The Android Market is one of the newest App place around. With that being said, it has the greatest growth out of any market anywhere. This include Apple's iPhones. It's growth rate is substantial and there are even well over 450,000 apps on the Android Market. When we, as a human need something, we need it now. Convenience factor comes in. Android is the "convenience factor". If you need something to occupy a kid's time, you go to the market and get one.

If you heard about a new song, you can easily check it out on Youtube or on your browser. If you need something, you can get it. Another thing about convenience is the built in design. It comes with a music app, camera app, ect. and it is extremely easy to find. I found myself a little lost when I played around with an iPhone for the first time.

The last big thing in this section, and the sole reason I chose Android, is its app deck and app list. When I played with the iPhone I noticed there was an excessive amount of horizontal scrolling. Now why would you emphasize something with horizontal scrolling? If you know websites at all, you know the best ones are strictly vertical. That's what appealed to me about Android.
