Today, with the development of moblie phone technology,there are more and more operating systems provided for people. Many people have abundant knowledge about different mobile phones and their companies but a very few of them know something about operating systems. It is very important to know about different mobile OS used by a number of companies so that you can actually know that what is behind your smartphone’s smooth and colorful touchscreen.

There are five interesting challengers expected to appear over the next 12-months, so ahead of CES 2013 – where several will be demonstrated to developers and the public – here’s a rundown of the software that could be vying for your attention on a flashy new smartphone come CES 2014.


1.Windows OS

All of you will be familiar with Windows OS because it is used in computers all over the world. Windows OS has been also been used in mobile phones but normal mobile phone users find it a bit difficult to operate it but at the same time it was very popular among people who were used to it.

This was the case until Nokia and Microsoft joined hands to work together. The latest Windows release by Microsoft is known as Windows 7 which has gained immense popularity among all kind of users. With its colourful and user friendly interface it has given Windows OS a new life and is currently in demand all over the world. Another reason behind its success is that this latest OS is used in very powerful devices made by Nokia. The computer like look has totally vanished from the windows phones with the release of Windows 7. Samsung and HTC also released some Windows based phones but they could not much place in the market.

Nokia Lumia series is completely windows based. Some of the latest Windows Phones are Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Focus and HTC Titan 2. If you are not on windows mobile os and using windows for your pc, this is how you can run .jar games on your pc.


2.Open WebOS

Open WebOS also known as Hp WebOS or just WebOS which was basically developed by Palm Inc but after some years it became the property of Hewlett Packard. WebOS was launched in 2009 and was used in number of smartphones and tablets.

Hp promoted WebOS at a very high level by using it in high end smartphones and tablets. The latest device working on WebOS was the Hp Touch Pad. With the introduction of Android in the market sales of Hp WebOS based tablets got very less. At last Hp announced to discontinue WebOS based devices, but the existing users were assured that they will get regular updates of the operating system.

3.BlackBerry 

By far the biggest name on our list, BlackBerry 10 is also backed by the company with the most to lose. Like Nokia last year, Research in Motion badly needs a winner, otherwise its future looks very uncertain indeed. Worse still, even if BlackBerry 10 does meet with a decent response, things will remain shaky for RIM for a while, just like they have for Nokia.

Thanks to some strategic leaks and a few informative presentations, we know quite a lot about BlackBerry 10 and the phones on which it will launch. We even have an exact date when it will arrive, January 30, plus the knowledge it’ll be available about a month afterward on two phones, one with a touchscreen and the other with a QWERTY keyboard.

4.MeeGo

MeeGo was basically called a mobile platform but it was actually designed to run multiple electronic devices including handhelds, in car devices, television sets and net books. All the devices on which MeeGo can run have the same core but the user interface is entirely different according to the device.

In 2010 Moorestown Tablet PC was introduces at COMPUTEX Taipei which was also a MeeGo powered device.Most of you will have heard the name Nokia N9, but you will not be aware of the fact that this large selling device is operating on MeeGo.


5.Firefox OS

Research in Motion has Android, Windows Phone, and iOS firmly in its sights, but Mozilla is targeting the budget sector with its Firefox OS, therefore gunning almost exclusively for cheap Android phones. Previously known as Boot to Gecko, Firefox OS is ready to launch in several countries in early 2013, plus Mozilla has signed up hardware manufacturers such as ZTE and Alcatel as partners. Telefonica, the Spanish mobile giant which has an extensive presence around the world, is onboard, and in the U.S., Sprint will apparently support the software.

Telefonica’s backing is key, as the first Firefox OS phone is set to make its debut in Brazil and other Latin American countries, where the company owns many fixed and mobile communication networks. Hardware running the software will be low spec and probably cost less than $100, so strong promotion though companies like Telefonica in new and developing markets will be crucial to its success.

Internally, Firefox OS is similar to Android, but it won’t be able to run Android apps and will instead rely on Web apps available through Mozilla’s own app store. Firefox itself is high web app-centric, designed and built using HTML5. You can read our hands-on report here, or even try out Firefox OS yourself using this browser extension.
