Mobile Platforms and Development EnvironmentsThe Future of Mobile Platforms

Mobile Platforms and Development Environments: The Future of Mobile Platforms [In this lecture, we covered the three major native mobile platforms of today —iOS, Android and Windows Phone–along with the device-agnostic HTML5 mobile web platform. We also covered Location-Based Services which can be considered as a platform in its own right despite requiring a device platform as host. Yet if one looks back, none of these platforms even existed commercially five years ago and mobile platforms such as Symbian and BlackBerry which ruled the roost in those days are declining at a fast pace. Interestingly, despite its steep decline, Symbian still continues to dominate the smartphone space in terms of the number of active users as of early 2012, but Android is currently the platform with the fastest growing market share and new subscribers. iOS has a strong base of followers and loyalists mainly due to its smooth user experience and unparalleled ease of use, while Windows Phone is the current underdog and relatively newcomer which is ranked somewhere between iOS and Android in terms of ease of use and customization.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In this lecture, we covered the three major native mobile platforms of today —iOS, Android and Windows Phone–along with the device-agnostic HTML5 mobile web platform. We also covered Location-Based Services which can be considered as a platform in its own right despite requiring a device platform as host. Yet if one looks back, none of these platforms even existed commercially five years ago and mobile platforms such as Symbian and BlackBerry which ruled the roost in those days are declining at a fast pace. Interestingly, despite its steep decline, Symbian still continues to dominate the smartphone space in terms of the number of active users as of early 2012, but Android is currently the platform with the fastest growing market share and new subscribers. iOS has a strong base of followers and loyalists mainly due to its smooth user experience and unparalleled ease of use, while Windows Phone is the current underdog and relatively newcomer which is ranked somewhere between iOS and Android in terms of ease of use and customization.]
