Android And Android : The Most Popular Operational Systems ( Os ) For Mobiles

This project is a composition of several reviews collected from users who used and are currently using the mobile devices which run on Mobile Operation systems: Apple iOS[1], 8th version and Google’s Android OS[2], Lollipop version. The devices running these operating systems are Apple iphone6 running on iOS and Google Nexus 5 running on Android OS.

To compete with the Apple iPhone, any new device must offer consumers something new, something better. A daunting task considering the technological advances that Apple’s iPhone has brought to the world of smart phones since it was first launched in 2007. The most recent release of the iPhone has new added voice command features, upgraded camera capabilities and an intelligent interactive voice system. All of these features and the glamour surrounding the iPhone have made it a must have device for many. There are some features however that have not been addressed that could provide an opportunity for product differentiation. Many enterprise customers are reluctant to switch to the iPhone platform because of the known security risks. The iPhone is designed primarily for recreational use with enormous focus on music, texting, and gaming applications. A new device that incorporates these features, but also meets the stringent demands of enterprise customers

iOS is a mobile operating system designed by Apple Inc. to support Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod. iOS provides various features including security and inbuilt iCloud. In this research paper, we are going to study the overview of the mobile operating system and how it is different from desktop operating system. Then, we are going to explore iOS operating system on various bases such as different layers of iOS, iDevices, its features, security and its limitations.

The world has become more technologically advanced than ever before. In today’s society, people have become overly concerned with keeping up with the newest and hottest gadgets on the market. Like the majority of Americans, I never leave the house without my smartphone. People have become reliant upon their phones as a form of communication, navigation, entertainment and much more. September 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook released two new, advanced smartphones, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple fanatics, including myself, had been anticipating the launch of the new phones for months. Several hardcore fanatics even lined up outside of Apple stores across the nation anxious to hold Apple’s latest release in their hands. [Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, both smartphones with advanced computing capability, seem very similar; however, the two differ in size, battery capability, screen resolution and price.]

Smart phones are continuing to grow and advance. The Android and the iPhone are two of the biggest smart phones bought in the world today; however, what attracts someone to the iPhone more than the Android or the Android more than the iPhone? Is it the way the iPhone shines in the sun or the Android's astonishing camera quality? These two smart phones differ and correlate in so many ways.

Currently, Google’s Android software dominates the global smartphone demographic with over 80 percent of the market share reported in 2015. To its continue success, Google should simply continue to do what it does best which is providing an experience to the smartphone user that cannot be experienced on any other device. When you ask the Android user what they like most about their device over the competition, they mostly reply with the abundance of options Google provides. Compared to the competition, Google offers the customer a huge selection of devices to fit every need and price range. If a customer wishes to have a simple device able to send email and text messages for under $100, there is such device, with multiple choices to choose from. Also, the Android software itself is unmatched in the eyes of the Android user. Unlike Apple’s iPhone, which is the main competitor, Android

Android operating system is used in many device such smart phone and tablets. Based on a report android in the fourth quarter of 2013 has a market share of 78.1% of all smartphone. [3] Furthermore, with the

Abstract: The expanding significance of Smartphone has activated surprizing competition among technology like Symbian, Google, Microsoft and Apple. This Paper exhibits a brief survey and correlation of the Android operating System from Google and iPhone operating System from Apple. The Comparison is done on the premise of their platform, their performances and the development in mobile area.

The iPhone on the other hand, today, easily compares to the phenomenon of the Razr in 2005. The iPhones’ of the world are the people who are tech savvy and love to sulk in new experiences. They like the comfort of knowing they have a mini computer in the palm of their hands—but yet is not too technical. The iPhone has a prestige for knowing how to do anything, and applications aid to that. There are about 70,000 applications, which are mini software that can do just about anything. They can check the weather, keep up-to-date with sports, easily access Facebook, offer many games, and even keep track of a bank account. They do all this in a matter of seconds with just one quick easy tap. The range of the iPhones’ of the world is vast, it ranges anywhere from a mom to a teenager to a business professional. These people also love new technology, they like learning every new feature, and keeping up to date with the rest of the world. iPhone’s are probably the most easy and straight-forward phones ever, each button and application is almost self-explanatory. It’s made for people who like quick entertainment and

To fully understand the Google Android operating system, you must look back beyond the development of the very first version of the Android OS. In 1999, former manufacturing engineer at Apple, Andy Rubin, joined with two other men, Matt Hershenson and Joe Britt, to found Danger Inc. The company aimed to provide hardware and software for mobile devices. Their most notable device was the T-Mobile Sidekick. The company spearheaded the idea of a client-server model and is credited with the creation of the App Marketplace. Danger Inc. was sold in 2008 to Microsoft, but the idea of the Android OS was brewing several years before this.

Android is becoming the most used smartphone operating system all over the world since the first version of Android was released at 2008. In this research paper, I systemize most important milestones from Android 1.0 to Android 6.0 based on the description from Google Inc. During the collection of Android versions, I highlight the most influential changes for Android’s development.

HTC is one of the leading manufacturers of smartphones. One of the HTC’s key selling points is its ability to enhance the user experience through applications. Since HTC has redesigned their products with the accordance of Google’s Operating System, its market share has been increased rapidly. Yet they are designing the high-end smartphones in the industry that are equipped with most advance

Android’s main advantage is its easy customization of devices with its operating system. Due to Androids open source applicationroach gives “third party application developers the opportunity to create a wide range of add on functionalities that extend beyond the OS’s intrinsic capabilities.” (Fort, 2014) This wide range of customization also gives the user the ability to change certain security settings which could exposing the OS to more risk.

Even though mobile phones have been in operation for three decades now, a fierce competition between mobile platforms has been going on since the spread of smart phones, which started in 2010. This struggle basically divided the world into supporters of iOS and Android giants, with others going for three more giants like Blackberry OS, Windows Phone 7, and Symbian. In fact, mobile platforms deal not exceptionally with smart phones, but also operate software on other portable devices like tablets or laptops. A must-have in a fast-paced world, mobile platforms have integrated into every sphere of life. Therefore, they are an extremely relevant and important issue to study in a research paper.

Android is popular with technology companies which require a ready-made, low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices. Despite being primarily designed for phones and tablets, it also has been used in televisions, games consoles, digital cameras and other electronics. Android's open nature has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users or bring Android to devices which were officially, released
