Hi, and Assalamualaikum.
so, this seems to be 2nd post for this MIS750 blog.
the main reason for creating this blog is for MIS750 course requirement and the post and entry should at least contain 5 IT, IS or technology/system related info.
so today, i would like to share or write bout technology or system that really close with us.
system that we used daily or every moment nowadays which are mobile phone system.
so now, before we move further, first we must know the history of mobile phone development.
based on Wikipedia.org, Motorola was the 1st company that produce handheld mobile phone back at 1973.
the development of mobile phone technology continues till Nokia, the company from Finland produce their mobile phone and make the industry of mobile telecommunication become bigger and popular back in 1998 till late 2007 before the Apple penetrate the market and introduce their 1st phone called Iphone 2G.
this Iphone become a big hit from 2007 till now with their innovation of touch screen technology and IOS.
in the late 2007 also, Samsung penetrate the market with their touch screen and android system.
and nowadays, lots of mobile phone company has been emerge in the market but yet still Samsung and Apple remain to be the biggest competitor in the market.
(several of top mobile phone company)
so, today, i not going to explained bout the company, but more on the mobile phone system that been use nowadays which are "Android and IOS" based on my experience on using it.
the entry will be more on opinion rather than technical analysis bout the system.
me myself can be categorized as gadget mania where i love gadget so much and keep change it.
the shortest period i am using a devices is 2 day before i sell it for another devices and the longest is 5 month.
and lots of devices that i have been tried and used till now.
so today entry will be more on my experience.
so, the first system that i would like to explain is Apple IOS system.
ok, so what does it mean by IOS?
according to Wikipedia.org :
"iOS (previously iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system developed and distributed by Apple Inc. Originally released in 2007 for the iPhone and iPod Touch platforms, it has been extended to support other Apple devices such as the iPad and Apple TV. Unlike Microsoft's Windows Phone and Google's Android, Apple does not license iOS for installation on non-Apple hardware"
(my previous iphone 5 springboard - IOS6.1.2 jailbreak using evasion software)
so basically, IOS is mobile phone system that been create by Apple.inc for their mobile devices.
i start using Iphone since Iphone 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S and recently 5.
this means that i experienced in operate the IOS system since IOS version 3 till IOS version 6.
this IOS been name on their version.
for example, IOS version 3 has several update such as IOS 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1 and so on.
so what i can tell bout this IOS system is that, it is simple but hard to use.
this system been created by Apple as close system and that mean that this system cant really cooperate with other company system or application freely.
imagine that, you own an Apple devices, the device has Bluetooth integrated but you can't Bluetooth with other devices freely. so basically the Bluetooth feature is pointless.
that's one of the drawback of the IOS system but of course there are also positive side bout this IOS.
for me, this IOS is smooth like hell, means that, no lag, no hang at all.
the system so fluid and simple. you don't need to go in application drawer to open the application.
everything are at the main desktop called springboard.
you just need to scroll left and right to reach your apps.
of course the close-system implement to IOS can be solve by jail-breaking the system. but it is illegal.
yet, nothing illegal for us gadget lover. hehehe
by jail-breaking the IOS, we IOS user can install cracked apps (paid apps for free), can install tweak apps to customize the system (enable Bluetooth to other devices) and so on.
so next i will explain bout android system that been popularized by Samsung.
so what is Android?
according to Wikipedia.org :
"Android is a Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005,Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance: a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. The first Android-powered phone was sold in October 2008."
(my latest Samsung Galaxy S4 running android 4.2.2 - jellybean)
so, for android, my first experience on using it was when i use the HTC Dream that comes with android 1.6.
different with IOS, android name their update and version using dessert name.
for example, android 1.5 (cupcake), 1.6 (donut), 2.0/2.1 (eclairs), 2.3 (gingerbread), 4.0 (ice cream sandwich) and recently 4.2 (jelly bean).
so i am experienced with donut, eclairs, gingerbread, ice cream sandwich and jelly bean.
as we can see, this android system is open and we can have it on LG, Samsung, Motorola, Alcatel and so more included china clone/imitate phone.
so this kind of open system has bring Android to be the largest and major market player in mobile phone operating system nowadays.
previously, i can be categorized as Apple fan boy where i love Apple product so much since the devices is high quality and luxury although the IOS is close to other apps.
but when i start use android especially Samsung galaxy line, i start to fall in love with android system.
Android system not so simple and smooth as IOS, but it offer me better option and user friendly.
with android, i can open document such as powerpoint, word and excel without need to use third party apps
with android, i can view webpage that has flash content since android support flash content view.
with android i can share everything with a single click such as share photo to Intagram, Facebook and email.
and since android own by Google, many Google feature has been preinstalled in the system such as Gmail, Google book, Google search, Google chrome and Google maps/earth.
so this kind of openness has made me to change from IOS to android.
(their fight bring good for us since both will come out with better product to win us)
but yet, despite of the comparison, the choice of system or phone still depend on the usage.
my friend that want to buy a new phone usually ask me which one is better.
they often ask me, which one better between Iphone (refer to IOS) and Samsung (refer to Android).
and my answer is simple by asking back, what do they need the phone for.
is it for work and internet usage or for gaming and application.
if they need the phone for work and internet usage, i will recommend them Android because off the openness and flash support.
but if they need it for games and application, i will recommend them to go for IOS, and believe me, IOS better in graphic (game) and apps.
so, i don't know how long i will stick with this Samsung S4 since i buy it because of the system and larger screen.
if Apple release next Iphone with larger screen and less close system, maybe i will consider to switch back.
or maybe i will consider the symbian system by nokia or windows system.
