Market Shares

Conclusion For developers the operating system is an

ultimate platform to develop apps innovatively and publish in market very easily. Not only in mobile phones, the OS is diverging in various fields like Tabs, Smart TVs and Cameras etc.

A mobile OS should be a result of factors like user experience, battery life, cloud readiness, security and openness. A successful mobile OS is a result of a design between software and hardware together.

Bottom Line – No Operating System is better than the other. It’s up to you and you’re requirements to decide which one suits you better.
