1. Android OS remained undeterred in 2013. As the year ended with a bang, we immediately shifted
our focus to what will 2014 be all about? It doesn't come as a surprise that 2014 will also be
Android's year. The battle between Apple and Android is going to continue in this year too. The
highlight is: Android will continue to rule the mobile market, with Samsung phones taking the
lead.
