Android and Windows: Creating Differentiators

Android and Windows: Creating Differentiators

Manufacturers can save on development cost and faster time-to-market by using third party OS offered by Android and Windows. The downside is a lack of unique differentiators in the crowded, highly competitive smartphones and tablets markets.
