...why it is easier to develop apps that run on the Android platform. However, Android did not start off as an operating system for mobile phones when the idea was conceived by Andrew Rubin, Chris White, Nick Sears and Rich Miner. The initial idea was to develop an intelligent operating system to handle digital cameras. Midway through the development, it was realized that the market for such a system was inadequate, which is why all the efforts were redirected to creating a mobile operating system. At that time, the market was dominated by Nokia's Symbian and Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating systems, none of which were open-source or open to development from individual app developers. The endeavor was quickly noticed and appreciated when Google took over the entire project and started developing the Android system on the Linux kernel. This became a huge turning point for Android, as the Linux-based kernel provided it with much-needed stability and security. After years of speculation regarding Google's intention to enter the mobile market, an "Open Handset Alliance" was formed that includes handset manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Sony; network carriers like spring and T-Mobile; and hardware chipset manufacturers like Qualcomm. This consortium promised to collaborate on a unified operating system that can be installed and run in most modern mobile phones. The first Android device was officially launched in 2008, when HTC unveiled the "Dream" model commercially. Over...

Now Microsoft is trying to break into the search advertising market by joining up with Bing and expanding its dominance beyond the PC desktop and into the new mobile platform. Search advertising is where Google dominates the Internet search. Microsoft offering Bing has grown to about fifteen percent of the search market, and the rest basically belongs to Google. Then we bring in Apple who dominates as the leader in mobile software applications. Apple has several advantages in the battle for mobile supremacy. The IMac, iPod, iPad and the iPhone have all contributed to Apples huge success which was totaled well over sixty five billion dollars in 2010. Apple already offers approximately 500,000 applications for their devices and apple takes a thirty percent cut of all app sales. Google is acting quickly to enter the battle for mobile supremacy while they still can. Apple is reliant on sales of its devices to remain profitable. So far this has yet to be a problem, but now Apple has to contend with Google spreading its advertising networks onto these devices to make a profit. Not to mention Google also provides Android at no cost to smart phone manufactures, as well as making its biggest purchase in August 2011, buying Motorola Mobility...

...Mobile Operating Systems: A mobile operating system also, called OS, is an operating system that is specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones smart phones, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices. The mobile operating system is a software platform on top of which other programs called application programs can run on mobile devices. The Android operating system has grown from a small development project into the most frequently used mobile operating system that people use on a regular basis. It has had several stages in the development that has lead into the technology that powers many smart phones and tablets today. Android Inc. was founded in the United States in 2003 by Andy Rubin and Rich Minor of Palo Alto who then teamed up with Chris White and Nick Spears who work together to develop the software and associated technology to produce the most efficient Android operating system possible(itd_24 2012). While there have been many different versions of this technology, is important to realize that each version of operating system has helped to develop the most efficient operating system that is best for the consumer of that point in time. The android operating system has gone through a number of different names and versions before settling on the name android that is commonly known now.

...Android: Is Open Source Better for the Masses? Jarrod R. Worlitz ITT Technical Institute, Sylmar Campus EN1420 Abstract This paper makes the argument that Google’s Android Operating System and the open source platform it provides is superior to its major competitor, Apple’s closed source iOS. The focus will be on how the ecosystem of “smartphones” and other mobile devices (such as tablets and phablets) has been impacted by Google, Inc.’s decision to release the Android Operating System as “Open Source Software” (OSS), allowing for a wider adoption of the platform than was achievable by Apple Inc.’s iPhone, whose marketing strategy and decision to is control both hardware and software. The claim will be supported by explaining the superiority of Android in terms of its benefits to manufacturers, consumers, and software developers. Android: Is Open Source is Better for the Masses? One of the fastest growing technologies is mobile computing. This fascinating trend in communication was propelled in large by the introduction of smartphones. Smartphones provide instant access to information and programs only previously available users from a desktop PC. To be clear, there are many other such mobile devices on the market that do not qualify as phones, such as tablets and “phablets” (a hybrid phone and tablet) however their roots can be traced back to two major platforms. These platforms are maintained by some of the largest companies in a competitive market. The two...
