...Although the term Smartphone was first used in 1992, apple was the first company to release a Smartphone to a wider audience. This evolution is led by computer manufacturers and software companies and not handset manufacturers, which have controlled the market thus far. One competitor to apple Iphone OS is the android OS. Android originates from a small software company, acquired by Google and is now owned by open handset alliance (OHA), where Google is a member. OHA has over a hundred member companies such as mobile operators semiconductor companies handset manufacturers, software companies and commercialisation companies. Android is an emerging mobile technology still in the development phases. Early releases of the SDK have been made available to the mobile developer community to start writing applications before handsets are available on the market. Fully featured Android handsets are expected to start shipping towards the end of 2008 or early 2009. Android is a new mobile platform based on Java running on top of a Linux kernel. For now, Java is the only development language available, but eventually Android may support other programming languages.

...Keila Sharp, Operating Systems Apple Operating System Many people have smart phones, which are used for many different things. Every phone has a different type of software. In the United States over 700 million iphones have been sold in 2015. Phones get low on storage due to pictures, videos, games, etc. Updating your software lets your phone operate at normal speed after being crammed with a lot of data. You see people getting upset that their phones “lags” or they will throw it, this is probably due to not updating it. Updating your software is something that everyone should do. Phones get low on storage due to pictures, videos, games, etc. Iphones ask you to backup all of your information on a computer onto a flashdrive. This is very beneficial because it’ll clear out the unnecessary data, then update your phone which will also make your phone run faster. New applications are in updates, so there will be new shortcuts and more security. I myself have an iphone, I update it as soon as possible. Apple is very useful in many ways. Everyone knows that siri is available, she will research any question asked. You can also ask about any upcoming events or even schedule an event. There are three different voices to choose from. Samantha, Daniel, and Karen which were all made in 2005 and were put onto the Iphone 4s. Every question is sent to apple so you get a response for every question you ask.

...Operating system : An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers. Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, QNX, Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS. All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX. Smartphone A Smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA), including email...

...What is Rooting on Android? The Advantages and Disadvantages “What is rooting? Why should I root my Android device?” These are common questions that I get asked quite often. Today’s lesson is to talk to you about both the advantages and disadvantages of rooting your Android devices. But before we get started, a word of caution: rooting or modifying your phone in any way will void your manufacturer’s warranty and possibly “brick” it. What does “bricking” your device mean you ask? Exactly what you think… It means screwing up your phone software so badly that your phone can no longer function properly and is pretty much as useless as a brick. I do not in any way recommend anyone to root their Android device. This article is simply to introduce you to the subject of rooting and present you with both the pro’s and con’s so that you can make an educated decision on your own. *What is Rooting?* “Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device. In the iPhone world, this would be the equivalent to “Jailbreaking” your phone. *Why is it called Rooting?* The term “root” comes from the Unix/Linux...

...Operating Systems When you purchase a computer or mobile device, it usually has an operating system and other tools installed. As previously discussed, the operating system and related tools collectively are known as system software because they consist of the programs that control or maintain the operations of the computer and its devices. An operating system (OS) is a set of programs that coordinate all the activities among computer or mobile device hardware. Other tools, enable you to perform maintenance-type tasks usually related to managing devices, media, and programs used by computers and mobile devices. Most operating systems perform similar functions that include starting and shutting down a computer or mobile device, providing a user interface, managing programs, managing memory, coordinating tasks, configuring devices, monitoring performance, establishing an Internet connection, providing file management and other device or media-related tasks, and updating operating system software. Some operating systems also allow users to control a network and administer security. Although an operating system often can run from a USB flash drive, media in an optical drive, or an external drive, in most cases, an operating system resides inside a computer or mobile device. For example, it is installed on a hard drive in a laptop or desktop. On mobile devices, the operating system may reside on firmware in the device. Firmware consists of ROM chips or flash memory chips that store...

...International Journal of Electrical & Computer Sciences IJECS-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 25 Studying Main Differences Between Linux & Windows Operating Systems Lecturer/ Hadeel Tariq Al-Rayes Abstract—Comparisons between the Microsoft Windows and Linux computer operating systems are a long-running discussion topic within the personal computer industry. Throughout the entire period of the Windows 9x systems through the introduction of Windows 7, Windows has retained an extremely large retail sales majority among operating systems for personal desktop use, while Linux has sustained its status as the most prominent Free Software and Open Source operating system. After their initial clash, both operating systems moved beyond the user base of the personal computer market and share a rivalry on a variety of other devices, with offerings for the server and embedded systems markets, and mobile internet access. Linux and Microsoft Windows differ in philosophy, cost, versatility and stability, with each seeking to improve in their perceived weaker areas. Comparisons of the two operating systems tend to reflect their origins, historic user bases and distribution models. Index Term— Kernel, Linux, Operating Systems, Windows II. THE ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LINUX & WINDOWS (BEGINNERS LEVEL) 1- Drives don’t have letters, they have mountpoints The first thing that usually trips up people who come from Windows to Linux is that filesystems aren’t assigned letters the way they...

The navigation bar morphed into the Google menu in 2011, which offered a slicker, redesigned user interface ready to take users to their desired Google application and featuring a prominent placement for Google+. Starting with 2012, Google brought a major new element to search, the Google Now virtual assistant that debuted on Android and expanded on iOS and the desktop to deliver even more personal search results to users. Google has further refined Google.com in the following years, by offering a minimal navigation bar that doesn’t “steal” the user’s attention. The bar however still offers access to apps and Google’s Google+ social network. Google also added voice-based search support to Google.com, as well as quick access to favorite sites. Helping people get around online is still Google’s main product and everything else it does is somehow related to search – in fact, search-related ad revenue is how Google is actually able to pay for all other projects. Today, the world’s most popular smartphone operating system, self-driving cars, smart robots, and balloons that can deliver an Internet connection to remote areas are some of Google’s most interesting projects, but they wouldn’t even exist without Search.

Next, we will take a look at the current state of the PC industry and how attractive we believe the industry will be going forward. Lastly, after looking at Apple’s past strategy and how successful the PC industry today we’ll discuss if Apple will continue to succeed into the future. When Steve Jobs to over Apple in 1997 he quickly he established an overall differentiation strategy. He believed that having narrow product line of easy-to-use computers and other technological products would help separate themselves from their competitors. They went even further with their promotion of themselves, creating an image of being a hip alternative to the current PC market. This, combined with Apple’s ability to drive down costs with their streamlined supply chain helped them create a large profit margin that let them hold a competitive edge on the rest of the market and helped Apple hit every aspect of VRIO. They further differentiated themselves with the announcement of the iPhone in 2007 that combined in Job's words “a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and breakthrough communications device”. The creation of iLife, the App store and iTunes also set the company apart from their competitors by creating a unique experience...
