Ubuntu Phone ? * Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mobile_operating_systems Overview Why Firefox OS? Firefox OS smartphones will arrive in extremely cost-sensitive markets like India and Indonesia where people often buy phones from a bin in a store." With an anticipated device price point of $25, Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) have reason to fear. The Indian and Indonesian markets are the most under-saturated in Asia.... smartphone penetration had reached just 23% in Indonesia and 18% in India... that leaves 1.2 billion users in the two countries currently without access to smartphones or tablets. Smartphone makers have struggled to satisfy the price sensitivity of the lower-end markets in both of these countries, and in doing so have lost out on driving brand adoption for first time users. * Taken from: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2042973-1_2-billion-reasons-why-firefox-os-is-important Overview Why Develop for Firefox OS? Demand for Web Technologies to be used in mobile app development. On July 25, 2011, Dr. Andreas Gal, Director of Research at Mozilla Corporation, announced the "Boot to Gecko" Project (B2G) on the mozilla.dev.platform mailing list. The project proposal was to "pursue the goal of building a complete, standalone operating system for the open web" in order to "find the gaps that keep web developers from being able to build apps that are – in every way – the equals of native apps built for the iPhone [iOS], Android, and WP7 [Windows Phone 7]." Make Web Technologies a 1st Class Citizen in a mobile operating system. * Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS Firefox OS Simulator Installation Launch Firefox.

  • Download Android Os for Phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives to Android
    download android os for phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android. It’s no exaggeration to say that open source operating systems rule the world of mobile devices. Android is still an open-source project, after all. But, due to the bundle of proprietary software that comes along with Android on consumer devices, many people don’t consider it an open source operating system. So, what are the alternatives to Android? iOS? Maybe, but I am primarily interested in open-source alternatives to Android. I am going to list not one, not two, but several alternatives, Linux-based mobile OSes . Top Open Source alternatives to Android (and iOS) Let’s see what open source mobile operating systems are available. Just to mention, the list is not in any hierarchical or chronological order . 1. Plasma Mobile. A few years back, KDE announced its open source mobile OS, Plasma Mobile. Plasma Mobile is the mobile version of the desktop Plasma user interface, and aims to provide convergence for KDE users. It is being actively developed, and you can even find PinePhone running on Manjaro ARM while using KDE Plasma Mobile UI if you want to get your hands on a smartphone. 2. postmarketOS. PostmarketOS (pmOS for short) is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux with its own packages, which can be installed on smartphones. The idea is to enable a 10-year life cycle for smartphones. You probably already know that, after a few years, Android and iOS stop providing updates for older smartphones. At the same time, you can run Linux on older computers easily.

  • Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from a Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications
    Chapter 3: Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from A Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications By Kevin Hao Liu Ph.D. Computer Science Victoria University Submitted to the System Design and Management Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Management and Engineering At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology February 2009 © 2009 Kevin H Liu. All rights reserved The author hereby grants to MIT permission to reproduce and to distribute publicly paper and electronic copies of this thesis document in whole or in part in any medium now known or hereafter created. ABSTRACT Mobile web applications refer to web applications on mobile devices, aimed at personalizing, integrating, and discovering mobile contents in user contexts. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of mobile web applications by proposing a new taxonomy for mobile web applications, and conducting a business analysis in the field of mobile web applications. The thesis reviews the current surrounding environment for mobile web applications, namely, web 2.0 and 3.0, wireless communication technology, and Smartphone platform. The recent entry and success of Apple’s iPhone greatly enhanced the public awareness of the Smartphone technology. Google’s release of open-source Android platform and T-Mobile’s deployment of Android-powered “Dream” Smartphone not only intensify the competition among suppliers, but also provide an open-source foundation for mobile web applications. This thesis introduces a new mobile web application taxonomy to systematically study the values and the groupings of the mobile web applications. By introducing features and categories, the taxonomy provides a framework so the related companies and businesses can be comparatively analyzed and summarized.
