Mobile Operating Systems

All devices require some sort of operating system to run off of. Some have very basic operating systems, however some are more advanced. The operating system helps the device perform basic actions such as turning on and performing tasks, on a phone, these would include calling people. Smartphones run a more advanced operating system than your basic mobile phone. At the point of writing this post, there are 3 main mobile operating systems; Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows. You may think Microsoft Windows?, there is a version of Windows for mobile and it has a very unique user experience. Some of the hardware is also very nice. Next, there is the Apple iOS. Apple iOS, is marketed by Apple as "The world's most advanced operating system". The operating system is also very easy to use and has a great home screen menu and a wide selection of apps in the app store. Lastly there is the Android operating system. What makes Android great is the fact that it is open and your device will come hardware unlocked, meaning that you can do practically whatever you want with it. There is a wide variety of apps on the app store and many are free. Android is great for Google fans.

FINAL REVIEW
Choosing one to be the greatest is quite difficult, you will have to think about what you want. If you want a very easy-to-use experience, get an iPhone (Apple iOS), if you want to be a bit more productive and want cool hardware try out Windows Phones. If you are an advanced user, or want full customization, and no limitations get an Android.
