a Number of New OS Will Appear in 2013

Currently there are only two mobile operating systems that dominate the global smartphone market, namely Android and iOS. Both operating systems that together have owned 85% of the global smartphone market share. What about in 2013?

Next year is expected to be present a number of new participants who are ready to heat up the competition in the market of mobile platforms. They include Tizen, Open webOS, Firefox OS, and 'Sailfish OS' are estimated to already be adopted from 2013. Unfortunately, the presence of numerous mobile platform alternatives mentioned above does not seem to be able to do much.

As known before acting on the Android market, the major mobile phone vendors, such as Samsung, Motorola, and other vendors are used to adopt a variety of Linux-based operating system. In fact, these vendors have the support of the leading mobile operators.

However, because it has not been established is the global smartphone market at the time and not many applications available support, making none of the Linux-based operating system manages to be the main platform, until Google offers Android.

Is the new operating system that will debut in 2013 will experience the same thing with a Linux-based OS such as those described above, it is still too early to conclude. With the operating system is at the moment, such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and others, could have a new operating system that is ready to enliven the mobile platform market in 2013, just be an element of 'cheerleaders'.

Samsung has worked with Intel and the Linux Foundation to develop Tizen.

And as we know, Samsung is the closest partner Google and Android are the most powerful smartphone on the market today.

There are also 'Open webOS', the operating system developed by Palm that has been acquired Hewlett Packard. The operating system is reportedly ready to be adopted by smartphone vendors from China, ZTE in early 2013.

In addition to adopt Open webOS, ZTE is also ready to launch Firefox-based smartphone OS. Besides readily adopted ZTE, Firefox OS also has the support of several partners, such as Deutsche Telekom, Sprint, and Telenor. Early models of smartphones will be launched in Latin America beginning in 2013.
