Mobile Platforms News
An important change in the mobile market recently has been the adoption of fully fledged operating systems and software platforms. Once reserved for PCs, these have found their way into the smartphone, which now accounts for almost half of handset sales. In turn, this has led to a battle between different software platforms and their key supporters.
Initially it was all about Symbian, with some challenge from Windows Mobile and BlackBerry. Then Apple changed the rules with iPhone and iOS, and Google with Android. And now a range of new platforms is looking to grab share including: MeeGo, Chrome OS, Windows Phone 7, RIM INQ, HP/Palm webOS, Symbian^3 and Samsung bada.
To help make sense of this complicated market Rethink Wireless provides daily news updates on all the key elements of the new platforms, and the user experiences and services they enable. We use our industry knowledge to highlight the most significant developments, and provide expert insight and commentary.
