I just read the september issue of Stuff magazine and there was a feature comparing these 3 companies so I thought I'd do a shortened version of it. First of all there's phones. The Samsung Galaxy S3 runs google android and has a quad core 1.4 ghz chip and 1080p high definition display. Currently it's the hottest phone you can buy. The iPhone 5 has had a bit of a mixed reception although don't forget usually when a new version of windows comes out you get a few complaints but as people get used to it they find they like it. Certainly iPhone 5 is a radical upgrade. I still use a iPhone 4 S at least for the time being. The Nokia Lumia 900 only has Windows phone 7 so you might be better off waiting for version 8.
The Google Nexus 7 is the best value for money tablet but only has a 7 inch screen. Actually the idea of a small screen is gaining in popularity. The iPad has the most features and the most apps. There's a Microsoft Surface due to be released which has a touch keyboard and will run a streamlined version of Windows 8.
Android 4.1 Jellybean is optimized for both tablets and phones and includes the chrome browser. Apples iOS6 includes Siri and you can even ask it how far it is to the office. Siri is a voice activated assistant. Windows 8 RT includes a full version of office.
In cloud computing storage Microsofts Skydrive offers the most free space at 7gb. Google Drive will save your Google Docs & Picasa files. iCloud only works with Apple products.
Google Chrome Operating System integrates with google products like Docs. Windows 8 has done away with the start button and got a multi button feature called a metro. Apple Mac OSX Mountain Lion is only available for Macs.
In terms of streaming products look out for the Google Nexus Q which has lots of features but may be quite expensive. The Xbox 360 of course is also a games console. The Apple TV only works with iTunes but is cheap.
Sony are building the NSZ-GS7 a google box which will be compatible with things like Google TV. Again Microsoft have the XBox 360 which will stream films and music. There are rumours Apple are developing a console although there's always the iPad.
Finally Google has plans to build a space elevator which will make it easier to get into orbit. They'll probably build it in the next few years.
