Estat De L'art En El Desenvolupament D'aplicacions Mòbils Multiplataforma Estat de l’art en el desenvolupament d’aplicacions mòbils multiplataforma Memòria PFC Fernando Navajas Jiménez Enginyeria en Informàtica Marc Domingo Prieto Consultor Decembre de 2011 A tots els companys de viatge per estar sempre al meu costat… Estat de l’art en el desenvolupament d’aplicacions mòbils multiplataforma Memòria PFC Resum La nostra societat està vivint una evolució tecnològica important en la actualitat. La informació i la comunicació tal i com l’enteníem fins ara està canviant totalment. La forma d’interactuar entre nosaltres i de veure el mon que ens envolta no para d’evolucionar i en gran mesura és gracies a les noves tecnologies mòbils. Fa molts anys que preveiem que en un futur no molt llunyà els nostres ordinadors de sobretaula podrien estar a l’abast de la nostra mà. Avui en dia, això és tota una realitat a la nostra societat. La proliferació dels telèfons mòbils en els últims anys i l’evolució d’aquestos, cap a sistemes cada vegada més potents, ha fet realitat aquella visió de futur. És indiscutible que la competència ens fa evolucionar i ens els últims anys, sobretot a partir de l’aparició del primer iPhone d’Apple, aquesta és més agressiva que mai. No paren d’aparèixer noves patents cada dia i les denuncies per plagi estan més de moda que mai i això fa que l’avanç vagi a passos agegantats. En aquest projecte volem esbrinar en quin moment ens trobem i quines tecnologies tenim actualment al nostre abast. És molt importat conèixer el mercat a l’hora de desenvolupar noves aplicacions i veure quines són les possibilitats que ens ofereixen els nous dispositius. Complementàriament farem un estudi comparatiu entre tecnologies multiplataforma. Aquestes venen amb molta força per lluitar cara a cara amb les tecnologies natives que estaven establertes fins ara. Això no vol dir que siguin dos tipus de tecnologia oposades, però és cert que amb la gran proliferació de noves plataformes que hi ha en la actualitat, és fa patent la necessitat de tecnologies que ens donin l’opció de desenvolupar aplicacions que es puguin executar en el màxim de plataformes possibles per tal d’arribar al major número de públic.

  • Learn the Tools to Develop to Blackberry Tablet OS
    2011-08-24 16:17 CEST Learn the tools to develop to BlackBerry Tablet OS Hello, We wanted to let you know that today RIM is launching the beta of the Native SDK for BlackBerry Tablet OS, which will allow game developers to code in C/C++ environment and take advantage of a deeper API set. To gain access to these new tools and start creating and porting applications for the BlackBerry Tablet OS developers can sign up to participate in the closed beta program at http://03268fe.netsolhost.com/bbbeta/ Interested developers should apply to the beta quickly as space is limited and will be granted on a first come first served basis. What can developers do? Using the OpenGL ES 2.0 API, developers can create rich and visually stunning 2D and 3D games for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The Native SDK allows developers to take direct advantage of the power that is inherent in the BlackBerry PlayBook. Developers will be able to build high performance, multi-threaded games. A great example of the interface and graphics that can be built is Need For Speed The Native SDK supports accelerometer, device orientation and other device features, as well as a number of POSIX compliant libraries, which will help developers that are porting existing games. The Native SDK includes the QNX® Momentics Tool Suite, which is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment. QNX Momentics provides memory profiling, application debugging, and memory usage statistics. This will help developers as they debug sophisticated programs, including hardware accelerated OpenGL applications. More information on the fast and efficient APIs provided by the Native SDK and associated developer benefits can be found at: http://devblog.blackberry.com/ To sign up visit:http://03268fe.netsolhost.com/bbbeta/ Should you be interested in a briefing on the Native SDK and the beta access program for game developers, don’t hesitate to contact us.

  • Smartphone Operating Systems Feature Comparison
    Computer Applications Mobile Operating Systems (MOS) Prof: Muhammad Moazam Ali Group Name: Twinkle 2 By: Hassam Rasheed (Leader) BAT11327 Daniyal Ali BAT11362 Junaid Siddique BAT11318 Umair Tariq BAT11315 Mobile Operating System A mobile operating system, also known as a mobile OS, a mobile platform, or a handheld operating system, is the operating system that controls a mobile device or information appliance—similar in principle to an operating system such as Windows, Mac OS, or Linux that controls a desktop computer or laptop. However, they are currently somewhat simpler, and deal more with the wireless versions of broadband and local connectivity, mobile multimedia formats, and different input methods. Typical examples of devices running a mobile operating system are Smartphone, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers and information appliances, or what are sometimes referred to as smart devices, which may also include embedded systems, or other mobile devices and wireless devices. Today's mobile devices are multi-functional devices capable of hosting a broad range of applications for both business and consumer use. PDAs and the ever-growing category of smart phones allow people to access the Internet for e-mail, instant messaging, text messaging and Web browsing, as well as work documents, contact lists and more. Mobile devices are often seen as an extension to your own PC. Work done on the road or away from the office can be synchronized with your PC to reflect changes and new information. History The increasing importance of mobile devices has triggered intense competition among technology giants, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Nokia in a bid to capture the bigger market share pre-emptively.

Although mobile phones were everywhere and SMS widely used, apps were still a niche phenomena – heck, even the name ‘apps’ was lacking – we called them MIDlets or “mobile applications” at the time. We kept on architecting, designing and developing apps for our customers – and it has been quite a few interesting years since then: old platforms faded, new platforms were born and a selected few took over the world by storm.
