  • Csonka Péter [CSPQAAI.ELTE] History of Smartphone Operation Systems
    Csonka Péter [CSPQAAI.ELTE] http://csipet.web.elte.hu History of Smartphone Operation Systems I decided to dug myself into the history of smartphones, and nowadays leading Operation systems. Tried to find relevant articles, but I ended up on the Wikipedia, reading nearly the whole smartphone page, so my first article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone (Its kind a long, so just the history part). But it’s still only one, so I decided to read articles about the leading smartphone operation systems: the Android and the IOS. I looked for a good comparison (means that the writer agrees with me that Android is the better), and I found this: http://www.dreambloggers.com/comparison-ios-5-vs- android-4-0-what-is-your-call/ Many people think (and I always disagree loudly) that in a year or two will be a 3rd mayor os in the market, the new Windows Phone, so my last article is about the mobile operation system of Microsoft: http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/4258114/ Review-Windows-Phone-7 (not the best article, but didn’t find better one which wasn’t 50 pages long.) Wikipedia Smartphone history article Early years The first smartphone was the IBM Simon; it was designed in 1992 and shown as a concept product[5] that year at COMDEX, the computer industry trade show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was released to the public in 1993 and sold by BellSouth. Besides being a mobile phone, it also contained a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail client, the ability to send and receive faxes, and games.

  • Key Actors in the Mobile Telephone Industry: Feature Phone Years And
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Clute Institute: Journals Review of Business Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2013 Volume 17, Number 4 Key Actors In The Mobile Telephone Industry: Feature Phone Years And The Rise Of Nokia Pankaj Nagpal, University of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, USA Kalle Lyytinen, Case Western Reserve University, USA ABSTRACT We use historical data to study the feature phone (as different from smart phone) years of the mobile phone industry. This study relates to the years 1994 to 2004, at a time when the industry grew to a landmark of one billion mobile phones cumulative sales worldwide. Actor Network Theory (ANT) is used as a lens to understand the key alliances between selected mobile phone companies and other actants. In line with ANT, actants include consortia, service providers, and IT vendors. The leading mobile phone companies- Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola, display a number of characteristics and actions that have implications for the current and future state of the market. The study demonstrates the explanatory power of ANT. It is important to understand the earlier years of the industry to understand its current state, particularly with reference to Nokia and Samsung. The notion of path dependence suggests that these actors continue to leverage, or be weighed down, by their strengths and weaknesses traced back in history to feature phone years. Keywords: Mobile Phones; Strategy; Alliance; Actor Network Theory; Nokia; Motorola; Samsung INTRODUCTION he study examines the early years of the mobile phone industry, through a study of leading mobile phone companies, and their alliances with key technology vendors.
