Music, High Definition screens, movies, photos, high pixel density and videogames: who if you would ever expect?
At this point one might ask whether they are still able to call ...
Briefly you could trace back the history of our trust, and inseparable from their mobile phones starting boom, around the late 90s when they started to be present in the pockets of most people doing diminish the idea that made them accessible only to business men.
In short, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the world of telephony, minor exceptions aside, it was still in its fetal form, which, after a few years had created a real market dominance.
If so many of us know a few of the hundreds of devices available today on the display cabinets of various shopping centers, not much more than a decade ago, most still had the same phone or a model that was not far from the first and assumed that a very characteristic, so this so-called, among the youngest, the "brick."
But if at that time many had the same phone for reasons of lack of choice, you can not say the same about the beloved Nokia 3310!
Well, it was one of the best-selling devices, both for the affordable prices, both for ease of use and user experience that gave.
Innovative, simple, friendly, good-looking and also be used for entertainment, the Nokia 3310 phone was the first truly innovative, with its text sms, alarm and operator services, and, perhaps, a very large screen for standards of the time.
The younger brother of this device also implements the navigation Wap , making it possible for users to be able to navigate in an adapted version of the Web sites directly from their mobile phone.
In my humble opinion, then, the most important developments have always found place in the Finnish house, where exactly were introduced color screens, keyboards, slide, digital cameras, "offering performance, but most Symbian OS !
He was the true protagonist of the years between 2002 and 2007!
This operating system was implemented in Nokia devices before the acquisition of Symbian from the company and gave the house an advantage over the competition, who still rode a slow and simple operating systems.
With the new Symbian, however, you could browse the WAP a nice interface, could slide photos and videos taken with your phone in a very pleasant, with a kind of Cover Flow and you could install third party applications on your device.
This was the birth of the phone for as we know it today: a mobile device which allows us to forget agendas, notes, postit, and more for the convenience of a few clicks!
same time, however, only a few other houses were trying to prevent a monopoly Nokia, s60 with first and then N Series, gaining ground on all other homes contenders: Blackberry and Palm .
They rode already operating systems more advanced than the others and, in particular, was equipped with a Palm version of Windows created ad hoc: Windows Mobile!
If, however, many models of phones continued to occur, it came around the end of 2006 to a period of stalemate, during which the market did not know what to propose as well: it was already implemented the video call, you could watch television and you could write email, and surf the web with some comfort.
So, in June of 2007 he entered the U.S. market, one that seems to have changed the fortunes of the phones: iPhone !
Though his features were very questionable (I myself was skeptical of what was to become the replacement for my trusty Nokia N95), the United States there was a real boom for the newcomer in the house Apple!
E 'started a real trend, which has caused the emergence of real business parallel to the product!
iPhone, initially available only in the U.S., shortly after he was released from an Italian hacker, willing to have a branded phone from the house of Cupertino. This small and insignificant detail was the beginning of a vicious cycle that pushes tens of hacker still in their fight against the "closure" of iOS .
were saying that although the features of the iPhone were questionable, it was the OS that it was mounting to make it one of the most loved in the world!
This ancestor of the famous skinny iOS 4, there were few applications, it could not install other than those present by default and the device was (theoretically) be used only in the United States. A big problem for Apple! If it were just that, hackers very smart, gave birth to a real AppStore called Installer!
Installer was basically a small program that could install via the jailbreak or the amendment of certain system files that made it possible to install third-party applications on a product that was designed almost exclusively to entrepreneurs and businessmen.
Instead Cydia Installer first and then (since firmware 2.0) gave the possibility of using small tools, people to customize their iPhone as they wished: unlocking the bluetooth, making it possible to record video on iPhone 2G, etc..
So in June 2008 Apple introduced the new iPhone 3G and 3G module, which is absent in the first model, and AppStore, the innovation of the year that introduced the ability to create applications and games that you can resell this e-marketplace .
We do, however, a step back in late 2007 was introduced to another great operating system for mobile telephony: Android !
This OS, by Google, was initially developed from a house, precisely Android Inc., later acquired by Google.
The new Google's mobile operating system, unlike that of Apple, however, is present in many devices of different brands and features, which raises doubts about many of its capabilities, comparing it to the Windows operating system from Microsoft.
So if Android does not initially seem to offer great opportunities, as well as what would later assume the name of the IOS, so here is that with the advent of Froyo , version 2.0, it seems to have reached a maturity similar to iOS 2.x.
Android certainly are in favor of freedom: a feature that someone just can not give up! This operating system makes it possible about what we want: just enough to do is develop an application or a special tool to make a reality of our idea.
The real boom for Android then has happened during 2009 and 2010, when it was implemented in tablet the likes of Samsung Galaxy Tab , a sensational Tablet 7 "which allows you to make calls, listen to music, Take pictures and much more, all in one device.
If, however, for Android and IOS seems to be going so well, the advent of iPhone, Symbian has seen its shares drop as operating systems created for Nokia devices had lost the intuitiveness and simplicity of the past.
The same has happened to Windows Mobile, neglected because the best and most innovative Android, with the version that Gingerbread (3.0) appears to impose even more confidence in those houses who want to adopt it as the operating system.
Microsoft did not materialize as lost and is pursuing a new project, which saw the launch of the new Windows 7 Phone , with completely new graphics and that is focusing on design.
I must say that I really do not, however, this operating system very intuitive and as easy as Android el'ormai iOS beloved, in the version 4.x.
Comparing these mobile operating systems, you can see gaps and strengths in each one: Who needs the copy / paste function, those who presume that someone wants to impose fewer rules on the acceptance of applications in your store , and who, instead, simply look for a characteristic feature (excuse the pun).
However, there are all prerequisites for a future in which the mobile phone, smartphone and in particular, will no longer simply a tool dedicated to the simple phone call, but a companion who, through services such as cloud computing, advanced operating systems and a touch of innovation tend to be increasingly crucial in a world in which everything goes to the Internet and to share fast.
