Operating Systems for Mobile DevicesFeatures of Different Mobile Operating Systems20/4/2014BHARATH. RAZHARUDDIN. TEM Operating Systems Developed for Mobile DevicesIntroduction: This document basically includes information about mobile operating systems and their features, advantages and disadvantages. The competition in the mobile industry is increasing day by day. Every mobile company wants to offer the best features in their mobile operating system. As a result, we see various mobile companies offering different mobile operating systems, with different features for competitive advantage. In this research, I will talk about different mobile operating systems and their features, advantages and disadvantages. Through this article, I will compare these operating systems and attempt to provide brief descriptions on the current major emerging mobile operating systems.
