Apple, Inc. - Is it only a matter of time before time runs out?

Apple technologies are some of the most popular and innovating pieces of technology on the planet. The marketing skills of the company have developed technology for many years, and as they continue to gross, one can only wonder, is it only a matter of time until their demise?

With Apple selling well in both the tablet and phone markets, is it ever possible that they could run out of ideas? Apple's technology is great, but could we soon be opening the door for Android? Android have also caught fire, developing great technologies, and having a variety of tablets and phones that run Android. Android and Apple both target the user-friendly approach, but it seems like Android's innovation could catapult them above Apple.

The opinion of consumers is very varied, some think that Apple is better, because of it's simplicity, yet ability to do such great things. The branding of Apple also seems to be a great sellpoint, as it is well known, and many assume that Apple is always good, is this the case?

However, Android systems can be more practical. And many choose Android because the technology is much smoother, and it also depends on what layout you prefer. Apple's products are known to have glitches, and it is frustrating sometimes for Apple products owners when their technology freezes. Apple's high expense is to justify how good their technology is, but personally I think it is just taking advantage of brand popularity.

As Apple and Android continue to battle at the top of the market, something has got to give. And while Android continues to gain momentum, could they catapult themselves into a firm frontrunner ahead of Apple? It's all about innovation, but who will be more innovative? We will have to wait and see.
