Its been quite some time that main stream social media has hit the mobile markets! Gone are the days when people used to sit hours in front of big computer screens and in the process making themselves fall a victim of the looking glass.
With social media services like Facebook and Twitter fine-tuning their sites for apt mobile accessibility, the war has begun to develop the ultimate mobile operating system, suited for social media applications.
Smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers and information appliances have attractive yet varied operating system, each different from the other in many particular way! The Apple iOs have many loyalists who would never be ready to opt out of the Apple brand.
One of the key factors which determine the success of an operating system in a mobile phone is the availability of applications. Apple iOS has close to 380,000 apps for its users. Take for example the success of Android based devices (about 300,000 apps). The open ended operating system makes developers flock to use it as a base to showcase their creativity and talent. Browse through the apps gallery in the Android market and it won’t be difficult for you to just find any and every thing under the umbrella. Sounds simple and obvious? Well you might be right to point out to me the inevitability of the huge number of apps available in the Android Market considering it being a project of the search engine giant Google. But when you contrast the success of Google’s Android OS with Nokia’s Symbian OS, the difference is glaring. Nokia dominated the mobile markets until the arrival of smartphones. Its applications were not dynamic leading to the switch of users to Android based devices. This resulted in Nokia adopting a possible game-changing move by launching the Lumia series of smartphones run on windows 7.5 Mango OS. Windows in phones is definitely a positive for users who would like to connect their hand held devices to the pc. With its launch, Nokia has up the ante in the war of mobile operating system, which holds huge prospects in 2012 for the development of Mobile Operating System.
And what if you add BlackBerry BBX, WebOS(HP) and iOS ? Well, the result would obviously be benefitting for the end users. With BlackBerry deciding to step into the non-corporate segment of the market, expect some major changes in the BBX. With rumours having it that Mozilla has started to develop its own open source OS, the battle only becomes all the more interesting than ever before. At the end of the day, users need to decide and adopt a given Mobile OS according to their taste. Carriers too remain a huge determining factor in markets such as the US. All we wish for as users is to get the best out of this Mobile Operating System war!
