3 Introduction

 An operating system (OS) is an interface between

hardware and user. It manages hardware and
software resources of the system.
 An operating system which controls mobile devices is

36 Conclusion

 For developers the operating system is an ultimate

platform to develop apps innovatively and publish in
market very easily. Not only in mobile phones, the OS is
diverging in various fields like Tabs, Smart TVs and
Cameras etc.
 A mobile OS should be a result of factors like user
experience, battery life, cloud readiness, security and
openness. A successful mobile OS is a result of a
design between software and hardware together.
