The Players
• Android – Open source mobile OS developed ny the Open
Handset Alliance led by Google. Based on Linux 2.6 kernel
• iOS – Apple’s proprietary mobile OS, iPhone, iPod Touch,
iPad. Derived from OS X, very UNIX like
• Symbian – acquired by Nokia 2008
• Windows Phone 7 – Microsoft – Kin, discontinued 6 weeks
after initial launch
• Blackberry OS – RIM (Research in Motion), proprietary OS
The Smartphone Platform
• With the iPhone being the first to the
marketplace it sets the configuration of the
Smartphone Platform
– 3G/4G connectivity
– WiFi connectivity
– Bluetooth connectivity
– accelerometer w/compass
– ambient light sensor
– proximity sensor
– GPS
– gyroscope
What is Android
• Android is an open source operating system,
created by Google specifically for use on mobile
devices (cell phones and tablets)
• Linux based (2.6 kernel)
• Can be programmed in C/C++ but most app
development is done in Java (Java access to C
Libraries via JNI (Java Native Interface))
• Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3G and 4G
networking
What is iOS
• Apple’s mobile OS for phones (iPhone), tablets
(iPad), handhelds (iPod),
• based on BSD Unix
• Application programming done in Objective C
• Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3G and 4G
networking
Bluetooth
• Open wireless technology
– Developed by Ericsson (1994)
– Originally supposed to replace wired RS-232
– Short distance via low power, short distance radio
– Allows creation of personal area networks
• Mostly to connect wireless peripheral devices to a host
computer (mice, headsets, microphones, keyboards…)
– Can also be used to communicate between two
host computers wirelessly (replace serial cables)
Wi-Fi
• Used to brand certified products that belong to a
class of wireless local area network based on IEEE
Standard 802.11
• Currently there are 3 versions of 802.11 in
common use:
– B, about 150 feet indoors, 300 ft outdoors
– G, 54 Mbits about 150 feet indoors, 300 ft outdoors
– N, 600 Mbits, about 1.5 miles in open air, uses MIMO
(multiple input and output antennas)
3G ( 3 Generation Network)
rd

• Must allow simultaneous use of speech and


data servicesand provide peak data rate of
200 kbits/sec
4G
• Provides a comprehensive and secure IP
based solution for IP based telephony, ultra
broadband internet, gaming services and
streamed multimedia.
• Peak data rate of 100 Mbit for high mobility
devices and 1 Gbit for low mobility devices.
Commonly Used Packages
• User interface controls and widgets
• User interface layout
• Secure networking and web browsing
• Structured storage and relational databases
(SQLite RDBMS)
• 2D and 3D Graphics SGL and OpenGL
• Audio and visual media support
• Access to optional hardware (GPS)
