Mobile Application Development: Top Operating System for Development

Gone are the days when mobile applications had been just a mean to get entertained in leisure; at the present time, they are popularly used to get the best out of hardware attributes so that the user can easily carry out any sophisticated task. Mobile application development is the latest trend among the world of ‘web developing Monks’. A mobile application is always designed for a particular mobile operating system (MOS). A perfectly running application on Android is expected to display a ‘oops! What’s that?’ message on other MOS and vice versa.

So which mobile operating system should be chosen to design a mobile application? Is running behind the MOS that has the largest user following could be declared as a healthy deal? What are the key factors that could be used to judge the performance algorithm of an operating system? These all questions paste a ‘confusing note’ for every newbie and even the experienced minds. To thrust away this note from your shinning career; below I am providing you the important information about all the leading mobile operating systems and their positive & negative lags.

Android

With a huge market of 600000 applications; Android is the crown competitor in the ‘World Wide Smartphone Sale’. This MOS has a share of around 70% users in the Smartphone market. The programming language used to design applications on Android comprises of Java but some portion of code can be written in C and C++.

Pros – Android has the largest share and users all around the globe. This MOS has a rising future as predicted by the market experts

Cons – This Mos Has Just A Few Shortcomings Including ‘Offline Voice Recognition’ And ‘Undo Action’ Feature.

iOS

iOS is one of the most popular operating system around the globe. According to the annual report of Apple in June 2012; iOS devices have crossed the milestone of 400 million sell. Objective-C is used to design the applications in the iOS mobile operating system. According to the market experts; Apple is going to beat Android in upcoming years.

Pros – with a renowned name and static future; this MOS provides the important features like Guest Mode, Printer Support, Bluetooth Keyboard and Parental Control.

Cons – External storage encryption is not supported and End to End Encrypted Push notification feature is not present.

Symbian

A few years back; Symbian was the unmatched ruler of the mobile market but in the current scenario the stars of Symbian are lighting dim due to the other highly advanced MOS. Symbian based mobile applications are coded in the restrictive C++ language.

Pros – Symbian is the most popular name in the Mobile World. It facilitates the mobile application developer with excellent feature of External Storage Encryption.

Cons – The vital feature like Remote Device Locking, Non English Voice Recognition and Bluetooth Keyboard are missing.

BlackBerry

BlackBerry is one of the most renowned names in the mobile industry. According to the recent report around 6 million applications are downloaded daily from the Blackberry Apps world. There are around 99,500 applications available in the BlackBerry App House. The mobile applications designed for BlackBerry devices are coded in Java language.

Pros – Features like iCalender import, Unified Inbox, device picture categorization are embedded in this MOS.

Cons – Wired Video output, Desktop interactive widgets and Call Recorder features are missing.

Window Mobile

Windows mobile operating system is subjected as the future of mobile application development. The applications designed for Windows mobile are coded with the integration of both C and C++ language.

Pros - A less competition among Application developers and features like Proxy Server, On-device encryption, offline Voice command are integrated in this MOS.

Cons – Offline Voice Recognition, GPU Accelerated GUI, Screen cast and Offline Voice Recognition features are not present.

Conclusion

I hope that now you will be much more confident about choosing the perfect mobile operating system for your mobile application development. For more details you can talk to the persons who had already developed their applications in these MOS.
