Android complaint to the competition
Android furious
If the operating system market is generally a hostile and highly competitive market, what can we say the market for mobile operating systems? That everything is intensified more. No doubt about it. And if you still do not believe in this statement, the information you discuss them now will make them aware of the degree of competition that makes the world of OS for smartphones.
As you know Android is an operating system created by the folks at Google are the following characteristics: it is a concept designed for mobile use, and has an open source enables users to act as developers and transformers system they use.
Therefore, and for a large advertising campaign, no doubt-that Android managed to position itself in the most privileged in operating systems for smartphones.
Since its debut in 2008, Android has grown to become the most popular operating system in the world for "smartphones" with a market share of 48%, according to the second quarter of the consulting firm Canalys.
"More than 550,000 Android devices are activated every day through a network of 39 manufacturers and 231 distributors," said the manager of Google.

Alyun OS
If there is a market that is diverse, fragmented, and made an object of desire on the part of thousands and thousands of businesses, this is without doubt the market for operating systems. At some point will have been a fertile ground for investment, but after the advent of Windows, Android, IOS, to name the best known, is very difficult to get a good slice in the economic arena where competition appears to be fierce, and an intensity that there would decline to sign.
Now if this description be taken out the conclusion that this market is closed, that in this market and things are prescribed as if it were a fate would be distorted the most important aspects of the situation. And this is precisely what they understood in China to make the Asian market and launch a new operating system that will seek to shed some shadow on the body of the great competitors in the market so far have played effective demand.
We're talking about Alyun OS, a new fighter that while the attempt to disempower current OS, you do so from one type of strategy that we would call "parasite style" to the extent that has made borrowing some ideas from Android .
The operating system bet big decision to the clouds and applications. Promises in their mission statements to spare users the trouble of having to download the programs to use on your computer. Read more
What's new iOS 5
iOS 5
The dream that drives technological innovation is in our days is, no doubt, the removal of any and every link that bind us to earth. Flying, surfing, sailing: these are the search phrases of a utopian aims and hates of various materialities. So when we start to review the developments of the new iOS 5 preparing for next fall we can only link your updates to that dream that we mentioned arriba.Veamos why.
The first element of the new features that Apple recently published in relation to IOS 5 would be put on the table "OTA". What is OTA? Stands for a keyword: Over The Air. The idea is to free the teams that have iOS 5 so as not to have to depend anymore because of the territoriality of a PC or a MAC. Thus, users of an iPhone or an iPhone will not have to connect to a computer to sync or update via iTunes. This means that just having a Wi-Fi environment, users can "fly" without having to be tied to any material territory. Pure liquidity, actual navigation.
At the same time we can discuss a second element of renovation. We refer to the new notification system that Apple has built into iOS 5. Read more
Negative balance for Windows Phone
Windows Phone
There is nothing worse for a trader who does not meet the market with performance that approaches to early expectations when taking an investment risk. In effect, this indicates a gross failure by the operator and the very idea of risk tends towards the negative side, understood as objective possibility of investing in some new product.
This has happened to Microsoft, which has tried to catch up with the operating systems for mobile devices, and yet, perhaps for having taken over the account in deciding to create a Windows Phone-could not even touch on the heels of competitors: Google, Apple and Blackberry.
Indeed, a market survey has data from the first quarter of this year and place of sales Windows computers with integrated Phone has not been very positive to say.
This deficit can be understood when we understand the numbers in relation, that is, putting the various players in the bond market of telecommunications and operating systems. Sales volume for Microsoft is a world market share of 3.6%, when compared with its rivals is exhibited dramatically lower and lower. Is that Android is the best positioned with a 36% global share, followed by Symbian (27%), IOS (16.8%) and BlackBerry OS (12.9%). Read more
Android multi ¿?
Android multifunction
Journalists who have been privileged to attend the first keynote of the Google I / O 2011 have discussed the most genuine innovation proposed by Google. We refer to the intention of expanding the functions of Android so that the operating system functions for accessories and general operation of our homes. The two tools for this are: Android Open Accessory and Android @ Home.
It would be interesting to think what implications do these two projects so far available to developers free of charge and free. Indeed, both the Android Open Accessory such as @ Home radicalized to the extreme the idea of a link between man and technology.
The first enables developers to create Android right accessories but which serve to perform different actions: discussed the example of an Android phone with a bicycle placed in fixed and their subsequent recognition by the terminal necesria application (in this case : a clock with stopwatch, for example).
The second goes further by enabling developers to create applications that enable us to control all functions with Android home, from turning on the TV, increasing the temperature of the home, cooking a meal in the microwave, etc.. Read more
TomTom and control of user privacy
Control via GPS
The issue of privacy seems to be a problem while underground, follows every celebration of the progress of technological devices and new communication technologies, among which Internet device appears as the most important of all devices. A French philosopher said that our society is a society of sovereignty, as in times of absolute monarchies-or time-like discipline in the nineteenth and early twentieth-but we live in societies of control. People live exhibiting their intimacies and these publications are followed by the centers of economic and political power.
A little this is what is said against the social networks that make intimacy a show. We all know that any information uploaded to the web, every image posted on our Facebook wall, adds another element to the mass of information that the great centers of information and control of the companies handled daily.
Now this is confirmed by those published in recent days by TomTom.
As you know, some time ago that confirmed the suspicion that the 3G iPhone and iPad keep track of user location, as well as Android and Windows Phone.
That record is nothing innocent, since it allows to accurately track the movements of users accessing the same privacy.

News of MeeGo after his "decline"
Meegan
Economic relations between companies and enterprises of all types take different forms so alien to human relations that nothing seems able to make a link to enable a comparison between the two worlds. While operators have the blinders of the strategy and calculation, taking the other players merely as means for their own purposes, individuals dealing with similar observed only from the point of view of generosity, love and respect.
However there are moments in which both worlds converge, mingle, thus resulting complexities that require the analysis. A case in point is the destination that offers MeeGo after the strategic alliance between Nokia and Windows earlier this year. Since this alliance argued that: in order to do a bit of shade as well established competition represented by Android and iPhone OS, it is necessary to generate a trade pact in which all Nokia products incorporating Windows Phone 7.
But until then working with Linux Nokia evenly on your operating system Meego. Well, once the new covenant replaced the old, what would happen to poor old alliance that led to Meego?
Well, all is not lost for this operating system. Read more
Changes in the interface of IOS
IOS Interface
We live in a society of the image. The relationships between the people together, and things are mediated by images. These images are sometimes the result of our mental productions, most not. The ways of producing external images such as film, photography, advertising, television, etc., We are in our daily act and no one can deny that not conceive a world without pictures. In the world of economics, this is well known. The world of operating systems is no stranger to it, either.
With this modest situational context we can understand what Apple seeks when looking at the image that has published its new patent in relation to potential changes expected in the IOS interface in their next releases. Of course competition is hard and oiled at all, and if you want to survive in the market should try to make as many changes to the image of the product to be on the agenda. With the advancement unleashed Android, IOS has begun to transform their mobile interfaces.
In the picture you can see a background image, which we interpret as a certain open-ej program.: An Agenda-and a subdivision of small images which fall within it. These mini-images can be read as contacts us, surely we can get moving with our finger at ease and pleasure. Read more
