The Smartphone Grand-daddy
• Biggest Marketshare (21%)
• Oldest Approach to Smartphone-ism (2002)
Basics• Mature OS (4.6
widespread, 5 is ready)
• Java Based OS
• A tad archaic in its user experience
App Development
• Store is a second party approach
• Enterprise provisioning and push is a plus
• Encryption and security at
expense of flashiness
Web Development
• Browsing isn’t its strong suit
• Ajax based RIAs are a pain
• Next OS is web focused
• Even still, no Flash
#2
#2 - iPhone
The Established Cool Guy
• Sizable Marketshare (14%)
• Was a gamechanger, now ‘the man’
Basics• Mature OS (3.x, 4,
coming soon)
• Objective C based Custom OS (iOS)
• Made for the internet and
media consumer
App Development
• Registration Requirement
• Store is 100% them
• Enterprise provisioning and push is a tad weak
• 200,000+ apps and
growing
Web Development
• A solid, but sometimes slowish browser (Mobile Safari)
• Ajax based RIAs run great!
• No Flash! >:-\

#3 - Android
The Upstart• Rapidly Growing
Marketshare (3% Q2 2009, 9% Q1 2010)
• Outselling iPhone
• Multiple OEMs, Carriers
• An ‘ecosystem’
Basics• OS is still solidifying (1.5,
1.6, 2.1, 2.2)
• Java based Open OS SDK, C is ok
• Built on a Linux kernel
• Made for the post iPhone consumer
App Development
• $25 Registration Fee
• Open-ish store, AdHoc distro is welcome
• Enterprise provisioning and push is largely MIA
• 50,000+ apps and growing
Web Development
• A modern mobile browser (Chromium Mobile)
• Ajax based RIAs run great!
• Flash! :-)

#5 - Windows Mobile
Lost and Searching?
• Diminishing Marketshare (9%)
• Number of new handsets is down
• OS 7 looks promising
• Just fired the dev staff?!
Basics• OS is somewhat stagnant
• Scaled back windows OS
• 7 (when it comes) is a Zune/Silverlight hybrid
• 7’s backwards
compatibility is in question
App Development
• No Reg Requirement
• Open-ish store, AdHoc distro is welcome
• Enterprise provisioning and push is one of the
strengths
Web Development
• Antiquated browser
• CSS and JS is pretty tough to get working
• Old version of Flash! :-(
