Top 10 Mobile Operating System by Idrismusty97(m): 1:06am On Oct 19, 2013
1.Google Android OS
Simply Android, Google
Android OS is the most
popular open-source software
created by Android, Inc. and
was purchased by Google, Inc.
If you have an android phone,
you are familiar with the
Google Play (formerly known as
Android Market) where you can
download ranges of apps for
free or for a fee. It is estimated
to have 700 000 apps
registered there. Too many
right?
Current versions of android are
as follows: Donut, Éclair, Froyo,
Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice
Cream Sandwich, and Jelly
Bean. Did you see it? letters
starts with D E F G H I and J.
So we may assume the next
version starts with letter K and
guess what it is.Tadaa - Kelishi
pepper soup. Haven't eaten it.

2.Apple iOS
Yes. Anybody knows it. If you
are an iPhone or iPad user you
know what I mean. The
smartphones from apple uses
the iOS software. Unlike
Android, iOS not an opensource
software.
Users that I interviewed [I'm an
android user/programmer -
sorry :-)] applauds iOS's
performance - fast, smooth,
and it doesn't slows down.
Worth the price they said. But
we can also consider int
hardware for good
performance.

3.Blackberry
Once the leading in
smartphone, Research In
Motion's (Now BlackBerry)
mobile operating system is
back on track with its new line
of smartphones.
With its open platform,
developers can create
applications using different
languages like C\C++ Native
SDK, HTML5, ActionsScript,
you can also port existing
Android Apps, and more. You
may visit BlackBerry Developer
site to start developing apps.

4.Symbian OS
Symbian is one of the mobile
operating system used by
Nokia. During year 2009,
Symbian Foundation made the
platform "available open source
and royalty-free ". However it
the foundation then shifted to a
licensing entity.
It was taken over by Nokia. The
website discussing Symbian's
future http://www.symbian.nokia.com/ was
already closed last 2012.

5.Firefox OS
Once a desktop browser, the
leading in free and open
platforms now introduces the
Firefox OS for mobile phones.
Same thing, it is intended to be
an open platform free from the
rules and restrictions of
existing proprietary platforms.
Firefox OS was made using
HTML5. The free and open
platform was backed by
different names in industry
such as eBay, Twitter,
Facebook, SMART, LG, Alcatel,
and more .

6.Windows 8
Windows 8 is Microsoft's
newest operating system.
Design not only for PCs,
Windows 8 is also for Tablets
and Smart phones - it's
Microsoft's way of keeping up
with the consumer demands.
As you see, people now prefers
a mobility.
Thousands of apps can be
downloaded at their store . The
new OS from Microsoft has its
unique metro style UI.
Developers interested in
creating Windows 8 apps may
find their Windows Dev Center
useful.

7.Ubutu mobile
What I like with Ubuntu is its
simplicity and elegance. I run
Ubuntu together with my
Windows operating system.
Simple, elegant, and free.
"Ubuntu is an ancient African
word meaning 'humanity to
others'. It also means 'I am
what I am because of who we
all are'. The Ubuntu operating
system brings the spirit of
Ubuntu to the world of
computers." - So they say.
About Ubuntu.
Now Ubuntu's simplicity and
elegance will be on your phone.
Being backed by Canonical,
Ubuntu for phone is hoped to
compete with leading
proprietary platforms. They
also provide resources for
developers .

8.Tizen OS
Formerly LiMo, Tizen is also an
operating system for tablets,
smart phones, and smart TVs.
Samsung has plans to shift
from Bada ans Android to
Tizen.
The operating system was built
using Linux. Samsung has not
released smart phones yet
running on Tizen platform,
However, demonstration was
done during Mobile World
Congress and expects it to be
released at the end of 2013.
Developers may already
download its SDK at Tizen
Foundation site.

9.Bada OS
Bada OS is Samsung's
smartphone platform. previous
devices from Samsung runs a
Bada operating system.
However, Samsung is currently
known as competitor for Apple
by releasing smartphones
running on Android platform.
Samsung has plans to release
smartphones running on new
platform Tizen. Bada in Korean
means ocean or sea. They also
have website for interested
developers.

10.BREW OS
Short for Binary Run-time
Environment for Wireless.
Maybe you never heard of it -
until now. It seems unpopular
because of lack of branding.
BREW is an application
development platform by
Qualcomm for CDMA mobile
Phones. Resources for
developing BREW Apps can be
seen at brewmp.com .
BREW is used by LG CDMA,
Hwuawei, INQ Mobile, Amoi,
and Samsung are some
manufactures that uses BREW
OS.

Well, that's all folks. List should
not end here. Is there some
Mobile OS you wish to share?
