A new and strong rival arises from years of tests and improvements to stand up to the well-known Android operating system.
This operating system that has every chance of monopolizing the smartphone market is manufactured by the Microsoft company.
Before describing what is possibly the best portable operating system of the moment, people should know its history and Microsoft’s experience in this domain.
Microsoft has been trying to find the perfect operating system for mobile devices since 1995 when it came up with a new operating system based on the Windows CE operating system that would have been used in the first “Pad” device designed. However, the 1995 tablet was never released to the public due to the high costs of touch screen systems.
The first mobile operating system was Pocket PC 2000 and it was used in some touch screen PDAs (Personal Data Assistant). It was based on the Windows 98 and ME desktop operating systems. The best idea the company had for this mobile operating system was to let third parties develop applications compatible with the devices. Having this capability meant that any requests in the application domain were quickly answered by developers and each user had access to all the applications they ever needed.
The virtual space where users could have found these applications was the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.
These devices typically came with a small tool called a stylus because the touchscreen technology they used was resistive, meaning input was done by pressing on the screen and lacked precision. Over time this problem was also fixed like many others because capacitive touch screen technology has replaced the old one. This one was more precise and simply required a tap on the screen, without applying any pressure.
The operating system had also changed rapidly because Microsoft was always trying to improve its services as any self-respecting company should.
Next up was the 2002 Pocket PC which brought with it the term “smart phone”. The relationship between the operating system and the history of the smartphone is the fact that this operating system was designed to work on a QVGA 240×320 screen with a GSM network.
This version was designed to look like a mobile version of Windows XP and also had apps like MSN Live Messenger and Windows Media Player 8 that supported streaming media services.
Office tools also had improvements and were compatible with other non-Windows devices.
After a few more intermediate versions of Windows Mobile, Windows Phone has emerged ready to revolutionize everything users knew about the portable operating system of a smartphone device.
The first Windows Phone operating system to appear was Windows Phone OS 7.
The structure or interface of this new OS is something completely revolutionary because it manages to offer the telephone data combined with active and live icons that are constantly updated from the Internet. This means that all the help a user might need can be provided more easily and quickly than ever before, faster than any other operating system known, even Android.
The whole concept of this operating system was to simplify each chord and reduce the time to perform each task.
The new interface is so easy to use and logical that any category of users can use it without any complications. Microsoft company has designed it in such a way that this operating system will become the best help you can get from a smartphone and surely they managed to achieve their goal.
The only operating system that could beat this Windows Phone 7 would be the improved versions of Windows Phone 7.5 and 8.
A potential customer simply cannot make a better choice than a Windows Phone OS device as their new assistive smartphone.
