Question 1

Android OS is a Linux-based platform for mobile phones. Android was released under the Apache v2 open source license. Android was developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, a coalition of hardware, software and telecommunications companies. More than 30 companies were involved in the OHA, including Qualcomm, Broadcom, HTC, Intel, Samsung, Motorola, Sprint, and Texas Instruments.

Android default user interface is based on direct manipulation using touch inputs that loosely Correspond to real world actions like swiping, tapping, pinching. The response to user inputs designed to be immediate and provide haptic feedback to the user. It also has internal hardware such as accelerometers, gyroscope and proximity sensors.

Apple iOS is a proprietary mobile operating system that runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Apple iOS is based on the Mac OS X operating system for desktop and laptop computers. The iOS developer kit provides tools that allow for iOS app development. Designed for use with Apple's multitouch devices, the mobile OS supports input through direct manipulation. The system responds to various user gestures, such as pinching, tapping and swiping.

Apple iOS has the following features for example: Integrated search support, which enables simultaneous search through files, media, applications and email, Gesture recognition supports  for example, shaking the device to undo the most recent action,   Direct access to the Apple App Store and the iTunes catalog of music, podcasts, television shows and movies available to rent or purchase.

IOS is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its hardware. It is the operating system that presently powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Popular Mobile Operating System

Comparison between Android OS and Apple Iphone operating system.

1.      Android operating system is developed by Google and designed for  touch screen mobile devices like smart phones and tablets while apple ios was developed by apple inc mainly for hardware’s.

2.      Android os is open source because the developers of it do not own the source code and android like LiMo, MeeGo are based on Linux and are all open sourced mobile operating systems and people can take that source code and create custom operating systems while apple ios is closed with open source components and it does not allow video emulators and there is no real possibility of making a new operating system from it.

3.       In Android, file transfer is easier because it uses universal serial bus that is USB port and android file transfer desktop app. Photos can also be transferred through the universal serial bus without apps while  in apple ios file transfer is more difficult because media files can be transferred using iTunes desktop files. under this photos can also be transferred throughout universal serial bus without apps  Android was released on September 23^rd 2008 while apple ios was released in July 29^th 2007

4.      One can video chat on Google hangouts and other 3^rd party apps using android while with apple ios one can video chat on face time with apple devices only.

5.      Android os uses Google chrome for internet browsing and other browsers while apple ios uses mobile safari and other browsers

6.      In android os only 32 languages are available while in apple ios only 34 languages are available.

7.      Android os is Linux based because Linux is open source and googles android developers could modify the Linux kernel to fit their need. Linux gives the android developers a pre-built already maintained operating system kernel to start with, so they don’t have to write their own kernel while apple ios is UNIX, OSX because it is easy to install Unix program in an iphone like a node.js sever.  

8.      Under android os file transfer manager is available because you can move photos, music and other files between your computer and phone or tablet with the universal serial bus cable and you can also move files from your device to a computer while under apple ios file transfer manager is not available because since each app is sandboxed from each app, a rogue app could not much damage since it cannot mess with things outside its sandbox.

9.      Android uses Google maps because they provide tools that help one to get anywhere and see anything while apple ios uses apple maps they can provide a proactive suggestions for the best route to work that help in avoiding traffic.

 MeeGo operating system/ Nokia and Intel. This is a joint open source mobile operating system that resulted from merging two products based on open source technologies that are Maemo or Nokia and Moblin or Intel.  It was designed to work on a number of mobile devices including smart phones, net books and tablets.

 Symbian operating system /Nokia. This is a mobile operating system targeted for mobile phones and offers a high-level of integration with communication and personal information management functionality. This plat form was developed by Nokia for some modes of smart phones and is proprietary software.
