Android(2008-)

There appears to be no codename assigned to Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of Android OS. Google bought a company called Android back in July 2005. Android was headed by several mobile bigshots, including former head of a big carrier, ex-owner of a phone maker, and more. After their buyout, Android went into stealth mode, and rumors spread that Google is working on a mobile phone. The dam finally broke in November 2007, when Google suddenly announced that they are indeed working on a phone (Google Phone), but also a brand-new mobile operating system called Android, based on the Linux kernel, to be used by the Open Handset Alliance, a group of 65 different hardware maker, carriers, and other mobile-related companies. HTC was the first phone maker to get a real consumer phone out, the T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream outside of US), on October 2008. An update of Android, version 1.1, was released in February 2009. However, the first significant version of Android OS that really showcased the power of the platform is V1.5, codename "Cupcake". September 23, 2008, Android 1.0, the first commercial version of Android is released. Just over 3 years later, October 19, 2011, after evolving from Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, and Honeycomb, not including Astro and Bender, Ice Cream Sandwich was announced.

iOS和安卓OS

今2012年三月份，中國大陸的iOS和安卓操作系統啟用達24%， 美國為21%。 ------------------------ Google 的平板電腦將由華碩製作，名稱為 Google Asus Nexus 7， 處理器則採用 NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A9， 螢幕解析度則為 1280×768，這代表了 Google Asus Nexus 7 的確將採用 7 吋螢幕。 全文網址: Google四核心平板「Nexus 7」曝光？ 搭Android 4.1 ---------------------- 牛排(New iPad) 打折 New iPad 16GB 全新 $489 「iPad nano」，最便宜的定價可能不到250美元，將取得同樣的低價優勢。 全文網址: 迷你平板… 今年最熱門玩具 ----------------------- An iPhone 3GS can function as a video recording was a standard feature, a camera phone, a portable media player, an Internet client with email and web browsing capabilities, can send texts and receive visual voicemail, and has both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one. ----------------------- iphone: 16 GB 3GS (SIM):$299 Ebay Cricket (Leap): 4S is sold unlocked for foreign SIM cards only.
