Top 10 Mobile Operating System In The World by Jensenelizz(m): 5:20pm On Jan 02, 2014
Top 10 Mobile Operating System
1. Google Android OS
Source: Google Android
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 - Key Lime Pie. Haven't
eaten it.
One of known smartphones running on Android are
Samsung Smartphones.
Google Chromecast
Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming
Media Player
Amazon Price: $34.98
List Price: $35.00
2. Apple iOS
Source: stuffpoint
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.
Visit Apple Store for more info.
It's the Apple's product that beats the Research In
Motion's BlackBerry. And talking about BlackBerry.
3. BlackBerry
Source: BlackBerry Z10 Screen
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.
Like Google's Google Play and and Apple's App Store,
BlackBerry has its own - BlackBerry World.
Kindle Fire HD now only $159
No Amazon products found
4. Symbian OS
Source: Symbian Foundation Logo
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://symbian.nokia.com/ was already
closed last 2012.
5. Firefox OS
Source: Forbes.com
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.
For developers, you may interested in visiting this site.
6. Windows 8
Source: Microsoft
Windows 8 is Microsoft's newest operating system. Design
not only for PCs, Windows 8 is also for Tablets and
Smartphones - it's Microsoft's way pf 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. Ubuntu Mobile
Source: Ubuntu
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
Source: Tizen Phones
Formerly LiMo, Tizen is also an operating system for
tablets, smartphones, 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 smartphones yet running on Tizen
platform, However, demonstration was done during
Mobile World Congress and expects it to be released at
the endof 2013.
Developers may already download its SDK at Tizen
Foundation site.
9. Bada OS
Source: Bada
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
Source: Mobilestore1
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.

Of course I know you use an Android phone with 512mb ram , why won't it freeze and close some apps? It's probably overloaded too...

Dude would you just stop comparing Android and Symbian? You run 16 games on your Symbian phone at a time? Okay then. .tell me if any of those games are more than 2mb. But on Android,....

And why would any sane person run all those games you mentioned at a time? In fact, why would someone run more than 5 apps at a time?

You prefer Symbian right? Then stick with it but stop comparing it with Android

Actually you have a point. A Nokia N8 with 256mb of ram can multitask way better than any Android phone with the same amount of RAM, but then again symbian apps and droid apps are different, Android apps are more intensive with less optimization.
In other words you are right, android phones multitask less better due to the intensiveness of their apps.

this argument is baseless, an operamini app on my android may suck up close to 30mb of ram, an operamini on my symbian sucks up only about 6mb of ram, so why wont symbian multi task more..


i multitask both operamini, chrome browser, instagram, bbm always running, hogging up 24mb of ram.. whatsapp always running.. my system ui always running.. then playstore always active... yet none gets killed on my android... try tht same on symbian, note apps must be same size, your symbian wont only kill the apps, it will fry its chip..
