Surely you know yours, but why there rest
The three ecosystems have many things in common, but there are actually more differentiating features. In fact, in the most widespread, Android, there are also many differences depending on the version or even the manufacturer. And as more and more present in our lives, should know.
class=”text”> Android
is the most widespread platform on the market . According to Kantar, Google’s operating system obtained a market share of 79% in the last three months of 2013. Course, is also the most fragmented, for two reasons.
On one side are the very fragmentation of Android. There are several versions and the most common, Jelly Bean, represents only 61.4% of the total (and still is divided in various versions). This is a problem for developers and, consequently, for the users, it is possible that they can not download applications are not compatible with your version of Android.

The second reason is fragmentation fruit manufacturers. In this case no direct impact on users as the ‘layer’ feeding on their phones does not affect the operating system itself, but it does mean you expect every time Google updates Android, because we have to wait for each company to launch its self-actualization. In practical terms this means that a mobile from Samsung and one from Sony, for example, will have a somewhat different despite using the same version of Android interface.
This is one of the major problems of the mobile operating system of Google. Another is the security , but the company tries to fix it. In general, efforts are noticed and difficult to dangerous applications to Google Play, but it should be fixed rather than apps are down. Shop for apps , by the way, is the third problem, but only when compared to iOS, for there is so many quality programs and games, but supply continues to be overwhelming . A few years ago the difference was noticeable, but today is not so obvious.
return, offers many customization options by widgets , shortcuts to contacts, launchers and all kinds of applications. At the hardware level, where there is more supply of low, medium and high range both phones and tablets.
iOS
iOS is Apple’s operating system and, unlike Android and Windows Phone, is closed . That is, only their products can use and, unless major surprise, it will never change. Apple wants to make the experience as we devised and this can only get it if it controls both the software and the hardware.

is the most closed system, so customization only goes as far as the Cupertino firm wants . And right now it is little more than a ringtone, wallpaper and placement of application icons. iOS 7 was the biggest facelift system so far, but soon reach new, as companies hold its developer conference, WWDC, between 2 and 6 June.
Its strengths are its app store (the safest and complete, although it is easy to find paid apps in Android are free) and experience , which He is fluent in all devices. For better or worse, there is no low range.
catalog currently consists of iPhone 5s, 5c iPhone and iPhone 4s (only the 8GB model, which costs $ 550 ) such as smart phones, iPad mini, mini iPad Retina, iPad and iPad Retina Air as tablets.
Windows Phone
The last to arrive was not easy, but in recent months has been imposed iOS in some markets (only in quarterly sales, as Apple has a much higher base users).
Its main feature is that it is a very different system to its two rivals. Also, is not limited to be different, but it is judiciously. Offers something different , but practical. Its interface is based on tile dynamic ( tiles ) that provide information from the same home screen whose size can be adjusted.

Virtually everything can be turned into tile: an application, contact, playlist .. . latest version, Windows Phone 8.1, incident at this point and, incidentally, includes a wizard Voice (Cortana) that for the moment only available in the United States.
The problem is that came too late and this makes it very difficult to attract developers. No applications only missing big companies, but games and other programs take to land in your shop, if at all. Microsoft is pulling wallet to fix it, but not easy. If Windows 8 finally a hole is made, it will be an ace in the hole, as it is very easy to convert applications to be compatible with both platforms.
As manufacturers catalog The situation is apparently a mixture of its two rivals. The system is open, so in theory any company can launch phones with Windows Phone. However, in practice there is only one manufacturer: Nokia . Samsung and HTC are encouraged, but on a small scale and, of course, that Microsoft comprase Finnish company did not help to attract businesses. In any case, the Lumia range offers an excellent and smooth performance at any range (especially shines on the floor, but more demerit of Android) and a choice of size and price.
