The Super OS – Internet

| Filed under Cloud Mobile Mobile Web Search Web

Note: this is one of discussion questions from the programme I am current learning. This is a very interesting topic, hence I think probably can post here to record my current thoughts.

In Brookshear’s book, the definition of an operating system is “software that controls the overall operation of a computer” (Brookshear, 2008, p.122).If we strictly follow this definition, we cannot simply agree on the “Super Net OS”. But from a different perspective, I will consider the internet itself as an operating system which provides the operations to data and services via the internet. The “Super OS” is the combination of internet and its infrastructure, protocols, web, server, client, and other technologies.

Mobile Operating Systems

| Filed under Mobile

It was reported that ChinaMobile and ChinaUnicom are developing their own operating system based on Android which actually is Linux. (actually China Mobile already released/will release their OS called OMS, open mobile system) I have no idea why it’s not Windows Mobile but Android. Looks google will be successful in China mobile market. IPhone is based on Darwin, actually is Unix. Symbian, which is just a toy. I don’t know Palm and Blackberry. So no comments. Mezu M8 has developed a great system based on WinCE 6.0. I think they should sell the system to Microsoft. Windows Mobile, which is official ver6.5 but actually is WinCE 5.2, sigh.

So looks the war comes back, windows vs linux vs unix. Does Windows mobile possibly win?

I’m expecting new and fast kernel, simple and powerful UI, easy to dev app…  Seems Android is what I expect?
