1. Introduction
Symbians Introduction The Smartphone operating system Symbian OS is produced by the software development and licensing company Symbian Ltd. Symbian Ltd was established in June 1998 and is headquartered in Southwark in the UK, and the current CEO is Nigel Clifford. Research We had in mind Symbians background, the whole history and development behind this operating system, his capabilities, security, performance and so on.

Hardware support and connectivity were, as well, one of our research points.
The native language of the Symbian OS is C++, there for, our research will passes through the programming languages that can be used on Symbian.

The advantages and limitations will be the last tasks well talk about.

1. Introduction
What is Android?

A software platform and operating system for mobile devices Based on the Linux kernel
Developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) Allows writing managed code in the Java language Possibility to write applications in other languages and compiling it to ARM
native code (support of Google? No)

Unveiling of the Android platform was announced on 5 November 2007 with

the founding of OHA

2. Platform
Operating System(s)

Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management, process management, and networking.
The next level up contains the Android native libraries. They are all written in C/C++ internally, but youll be calling them through Java interfaces. In this layer you can find the Surface Manager, 2D and 3D graphics, Media codecs, the SQL database (SQLite), and a native web browser engine (WebKit). Dalvik Virtual Machine. Dalvik runs dex files, which are coverted at compile time from standard class and jar files.

2. Platform
Network Connectivity
It supports wireless communications using:

GSM mobile-phone technology 3G Edge 802.11 Wi-Fi networks

2. Platform
Security
Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the system) runs in its own process. Most security between applications and the system is enforced at the process level through standard Linux facilities, such as user and group IDs that are assigned to applications. Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a "permission" mechanism that enforces restrictions on the specific operations that a particular process can perform, and per-URI permissions for granting ad-hoc access to specific pieces of data.

2. Platform
Future possibilities

Google Android Sales to Overtake iPhone in 2012

The OHA is committed to make their vision a reality: to deploy the Android platform for every mobile operator, handset manufacturers and developers to build innovative devices

Intel doesnt want to lose ownership of the netbook market, so they need to prepare for anything, including Android Fujitsu launched an initiative to offer consulting and engineering expertise to help run Android on embedded hardware, which aside from cellphones, mobile internet devices, and portable media players, could include GPS devices, thinclient computers and set-top boxes.
More Android devices are coming and some will push the envelope even further

2. Platform
This Operating System is used in Samsung, HTC mobiles.

3. Software development
Programming Language(s)

Java officially supported

C/C++ also possible but not supported

4. Overall evaluation
Limitations
Bluetooth limitations o Android doesn't support: Bluetooth stereo Contacts exchange Modem pairing Wireless keyboards But it'll work with Bluetooth headsets, but that's about it Firefox Mobile isn't coming to Android Apps in Android Market need to be programmed with a custom form of Java Mozilla and the Fennec won't have that

4. Overall Evaluation
Conclusion

We can only hope that the next versions of Android have overcome the actual limitations and that the future possibilities became a reality

1. Introduction

Hardware

Windows Mobile Professional runs on (smartphones) with

touchscreens Windows Mobile Standard runs on phones with regular screens Windows Mobile Classic which runs on 'Windows Mobile Classic devices' (Pocket PCs).

1. Introduction
There are many types of Windows OS such as:

Windows Mobile Classic devices (Pocket PC) Windows Mobile Smartphones Windows Mobile 2003 Windows Mobile 2003 SE Windows Mobile 5 Windows Mobile 6 Windows Mobile 6.1 Windows Mobile 6.5 Windows Mobile 6.5.1 Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Windows Phone 7

2. History
Windows Mobile's share of the smartphone market has been in decline year-on-year. Gartner research data showed that while the total smartphone industry grew 27% between 2008 and 2009, Windows Mobile's share of the smartphone market fell 2.7% in that same period. In 2004, Windows Mobile accounted for 23% of worldwide smartphone sales. Windows Mobile was projected to overtake Symbian to become the leading mobile OS by 2010. But by 2008, its share had dropped to 14%. Microsoft licensed Windows Mobile to four out of the world's five largest mobile phone manufacturers, with Nokia being the exception. Although Microsoft apparently has 50 handset partners.

2. History
At one time Windows Mobile was the most popular handset for business use, but by 2009 this was no longer the case. An Information Week survey found that 24% of planned business deployments of mobile application were for Windows Mobile, putting it in 3rd place, behind Blackberry (61%) and iPhone (27%). In October 2009 Gartner predicted that by 2012 Windows Mobile would remain the fourth most popular smartphone platform during the rise of Android only due to BlackBerry falling from second to fifth. Samsung announced in November 2009 that it would phase out the Windows Mobile platform, to concentrate on its own Bada operating system, Google's Android, and Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.

3. Software development
Windows OS is programmed in C++ language. Developers have several options for deploying mobile applications. These include writing native code with Visual C++, writing Managed code that works with the .NET Compact Framework.

4. Overall evaluation
Conclusion Windows Mobile 5.0 is about providing the strongest base for
hardware innovation
