Development of using Gadgets in Market




I remember the time when newspaper, an old radio, a landline telephone set, and a gigantic TV set which were just able to broadcast national television programs, were the only tools of entertainment available in every household of Pakistan. People use to watch national channels for every purpose like news, entertainment etc. The only channels of communication were landline telephones and post. Radio was the only thing which can play music. And we all were quite happy back then too. But as we all know that time never remain the same. It keeps on changing. But if we talk particularly about gadgets, then time has changed in Pakistan in quite a revolutionary way. Almost every latest gadget and technology is now available in Pakistan. In this article I will talk about the changing trends of using technology in Pakistan and most particularly I will talk about gadgets.

The father of all gadgets

 

Let’s start with the first gadget, which I would say has proved to be a father of all gadgets. It is none other than Mobile phone. After the technology boom in Pakistan, this gadget has gained the immense popularity. Almost 80% people living in Pakistan’s urban cities are using a mobile phone. Mobile phone has been dedicated as a technology of the decade internationally, and it should be in Pakistan as well. Today, it is the toughest job to identify a single adult or even a teen ager who does not possess a mobile phone. The great contributors in Pakistan’s great mobile revolution are Nokia Mobile, Samsung Mobiles, Sony Ericson, and other companies. The latest mobile phone technology is Smartphone technology. And Pakistan is the most potent market when it comes to smart phones. And this can be witnessed by looking the number of unofficial iphone Smartphone sales all around the Pakistan. It is one of the bestselling phones in the history of Pakistan.

Television the most commonly used gadget

But it is now in the smartest shape ever. Statistics tells that more than 70% household in Pakistan are having a television set at their household. This gadget has faced so many revolutions, from simple TV to Plasma, from plasma to LCD, and now from LCD to LED. It is getting slimmer with every passing day. People in Pakistan who do not afford a new LCD and TV buy used LCD or a Used TV, but they do have this technology no matter what and how. Another worth mentioning thing here is that trend in changing technology of a television is also increasing quite rapidly. People who once used to have a television are now having a LCD of minimum a plasma TV.

The others

Then comes other gadgets like gaming devices, Cameras and music players. The launch of gaming device from big players like Sony and Microsoft the trend of buying gaming device has clearly gone up. Youngsters are buying both portable devices along with classic devices. Music players are another bestselling gadget in Pakistan. So many companies like Audionic came into the small, and big sized music players industry, but they haven’t got the desired success because of the officially launched IPOD in Pakistan. Another most widely spread trend is of cameras. After the official launch of Sony, Nikon and canon in Pakistan, this trend seems to be increasing day by day because almost everyone nowadays posses a handheld camera.

What is missing in IOS that Android already having

If we talk about operating systems in the long run, then no deny in it that Android is open and you can customize it whereas IOS is not allowing you to customize it. That’s why Apple has started to modify IOS and its doing it by announcing iOS7 for iPhone5. Because people are expecting more personalization and Apple is trying to provide them full privacy with so much ease. At wwdc Tim Cook said in this regard that apple wants to make IOS more open but not at the customer’s risk to have bad experience. Apple is intended to apply some Android option for IOS. User are now more matured, it was five years ago when Smartphone are driving the users but now things has changed now users are in this position that they can fully understand what they really need using an iPhone. Tim cook said “people don’t need any training to operate their iPhone Smartphone. They are well-conversant in this regard, and are getting more prone to their Smartphone.
Apple is only interested to provide the new user as much ease as they can. If a newbie install any app on his Smartphone and don’t know how to remove the old one it’s a bad experience on ser end. Apple is committed to make it user friendly in such a way that the old user should not get confused or get stuck. In order to achieve the highest level of accuracy IOS user needs some of the capabilities needs to discuss below.
Keyboard substitution:
IOS users are looking forward to replace default keyboard, because people find inconvenience while typing the text especially when they were doing it single handed. On the other hand Android allow you to replace the default keyboard by using the third party keyboard like SwiftKey that can predict the words you are intended to type and the Swype gesture typing keyboard that offers you the option to tap your finger between the letters and speeding up the communication Widgets: The iOS screen looks very inert due to so many information out there, that is consists of weather, finance, updating notifications, with so many icons and folders. Android simply raw all your data from apps and dislocate it from your lock and home screen so that you can have quick look. To make the IOS interface more user friendly the experienced users have to rotate all the things by their won.
PHONE APP MODIFICATIONS:
When one app is configured in a mobile, it has the ability to change the most basic function of the phone. Such apps will not allow the callers to disturb you, the insistent callers who keep calling you, you can easily customize the phone mode by suing do not disturb as reject call SMS as a prewritten text. Such Apps like Mr. Number can’t be configured on IOS due to the functionality on IOS 6 or any other version IOS.
HOMESCREEN / LAUNCHER Substitution:
Launchers are used by Android users, but it is FaceBook home that create issues regarding mainstream that reflects how your entire phone can be at risk. Facebook Home only allowsyou to read the news feed from your lock screen while Go Launcher,EX,Launcher will allow you to navigate to other settings for quick access. Android offers plenty of personalization options, no matter, which mobile you are using; either it is Samsung mobilesor Nokia Smartphone which includes automatic scheduling tasks like quick access to wifi, Apple is inclined towards innovation it’s a trend setter, but with the addition of the above mentioned features Apple can create more opportunity for developer. In this way they can give the feel to the users that the internet device they are using are their very own.
