Where do you see Android and Ios in 5 years ?

Where do you see Android and Ios in 5 years ?

what do you think both operating systems will be capable of ?

who will have the bigger share of smartphones ?

and what do you expect from gaming on them in 5 years ?

5 years is a long ass time in tech.  May have even moved on from those two.  But android will probably still be out doing iOS, and WP may actaully start being honest competition for iOS

With physical controls, hopefully.charizard1605

all apps on are copying one another at this more then ios  has  which is depressing.

I think it has a ton of untapped potential. Phones will only get more powerful, but I would expect something along the lines of the Nvidia Shield that just happens to use Android to really push it in a way that mainstream gamers would enjoy--something akin to a Vita but equipped with Android. Hell, even Apple might get in on it now that Jobs isn't over there holding them back from expanding into the gaming realm. 

It's hard to say who will win out in terms of gaming: Android or iOS. While I like the open source nature of Android, the rampant piracy and diverse array of phones could really hamper it, whereas iOS doesn't have such problems to such a large degree. 

Only three companies will make Androids in 5 years: Samsung, HTC and Motorolla iOS will be what it will always be, a solid niche with a die hard fanbase bordering on cult. Android can do amazing things once fragmentation is solved. iOS needs brilliant and innovative minds. Android 55 percent, but split between Samsung, HTC and Motorola. Apple will have no such problem, and will not suffer from cannibalization. Gaming bubble will burst on smartphones, and handhelds could experience a renaissance.hiphops_savior

HTC has not been doing so well. And Google will probably continue "making" phones

I expect to see them decimating the consoles

They're already making consolites cry by getting games like Breath of Fire, and FFIV After Years, and it won't be much longer until they take everything else that was once sacred to consoles.

In the recesses of my memory, as I'll be back with a blackberry by that point.

If it was for only 3 companies would making androids in 5 years HTC probably wouldnt be one of them and probably neither motorola
LG thanks to Nexus line is doing decently ( turning up a small profit unlike HTC, motorola ) , Sony started getting its act together on smartphones thanks to some great mid-range phones and chinese companies like Huwaei ZTE and lenovo thanks to a strong chinese market are experiencing huge growth and are already above traditional companies like HTC,Sony and Motorola http://www.androidcentral.com/idc-samsung-still-largest-smartphone-manufacturer-lg-and-lenovo-see-huge-growth

 And Samsung of course is dominating sales but no one knows if they continue to do so in 5 years but they seem to be in a secure place thanks to Galaxy and Note series as well to have a huge line-up for every one and a global presence and been able to manufacture phones on their own using mostly their own parts ( such as memory chips )

As phones?

roughly the same place competing with eachother with ndorid firmly in the lead. 

As gaming devices?

Still pathetically far behind getting a aging port from nearly a decade old and phone gamers suddenly thinking they're relevant again.

Android and iOS devices are far more relevent to gaming then the 3ds and vita.

Dunno, but I'm very excited with where ios gaming is right now, though it has room to grow. Can't wait for Oceanhorn to get here.

Very awesome that these guys joined in. :D

Are there a lot of AAA studios on vita and 3ds? On Android and iOS, you have You got Gameloft, Epic, Madfinger, Square, Firemonkey, Phosphor games just to name a few. I don't see a lot of AAA studios lining up to make unique games for handheld gaming platforms.

Its expanding.

5 Years time, iOS and Android will have Nintendo/Sega games on them also.

Well, they have some sega games already.

Android still the unstable mess it is now, but with more super duper cores, and ios still showing better performance, usability, with a much better app selection. Dropping android was the best decision I ever made in regards to mobile devices.
