This Operating System will be Android Competitors

Once the Android operating system is open source success in the global marketplace, coming three mobile operating system open source in 2013. They are Tizen, Firefox OS, and Ubuntu. All three dreamed would like the green robot. Android was first coined by the company Android Inc., based in Palo Alto, California. They build Android with core program (kernel) Linux.

Internet giant Google and then buy all the shares of Android Inc. in August 2005. The founders of Android is finally working for Google, as Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. To further promote and popularize Android, then Eric Schmidt, who was then serving as CEO of Google, formed the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) on 6 November 2007.

OHA is a consortium led by Google, and so far the OHA already has 84 companies engaged in the hardware, software, processor designers, telecommunications, and mobile operators from around the world.

Reputable companies OHA members include HTC, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Asustek Computer, Toshiba, Sony, Dell, Lenovo, Intel, Nvidia, ARM Holdings, Broadcom Corporation, Atheros Communications, Marvell Technology Group, Qualcomm, Sprint Nextel, T- Mobile, Vodafone Group, Garmin Ltd, PacketVideo, Softbank, Texas Instruments, and so on.

Google began to seriously develop Android to enter the global mobile device market with the release of Android version 1.1 in March 2009. Android freely adopted by mobile device manufacturers. In fact, he now adopted by the cameras and televisions.

Google also released the source code for Android application developers. It is a seduction that the developers want to create apps for the Android that will be placed in Google's online application store Play Store (formerly the Android Market).

Two months later, Google released Android version 1.5 codenamed Cupcake. From here starts naming Android versions using the code name names cake.

Developed by Internet giant Google and OHA supported by a consortium consisting of 84 companies, Android managed to become the number one mobile operating system, crush BlackBerry from Research In Motion (RIM), Symbian of Nokia and Windows Mobile (now Windows Phone) from Microsoft.

Opponents mean Android is currently only Apple's iOS, which also has a strong ecosystem for business applications. In 2013, the availability of Android and iOS apps, each going through 1 million applications.


Tizen

Just like Android, Tizen is an open source operating system that uses the core program (kernel) Linux. Not just for smart phones and tablets alone, Tizen is also designed for multimedia devices in vehicles, television and so on.

He became a major project with The Linux Foundation organizations electronics manufacturer Samsung and Intel processors.

Samsung and Intel Linux Foundation is a donor. Both sit on the board of trustees and holds greater scrutiny in the Linux project, including Tizen mobile operating system. They play a role in the affairs of hardware engineering.

Tizen received support from mobile operators Sprint Nextel from the U.S. on May 7, 2012, committed co-selling Tizen products in the future. The Automotive Grade Linux Workgroup, which is actually a player in automotive technology, also declared himself joined the Tizen Association.

30 April 2012, dirilislah Tizen operating system version 1.0 codenamed Larkspur. Then on 25 September 2012, Tizen released version 2.0 alpha status with the code name Magnolia. Tizen 2.0 full version will be released in January 2013.

Samsung will release a smart phone operating system Tizen 2.0 in the first quarter of 2013.

Google Acquisition over Motorola Mobility had doubted some Android manufacturers, who fear Google will favors Motorola Android smart phones in the industry. Step Samsung support Tizen project is touted as an effort to not rely entirely on Android.


Firefox OS

There is also an open source mobile operating system called Firefox OS. It was developed by the Mozilla Foundation, a nonprofit organization that creates software Firefox browser with fire fox logo.

Firefox OS is the renaming of the "Boot to Gecko" (B2G), which was originally also project a web-based mobile operating system is open from Mozilla. Mozilla B2G project was announced on July 25, 2011.

The organization is based in Mountain View, United States is saying, Firefox OS will be fully open mobile ecosystem. Built entirely on open web standards and applications are developed with HTML5 technology.

Mozilla hopes to open opportunities for application developers to build applications in Firefox OS. They have designed an online application store that would be named Firefox Marketplace.

All the support has been obtained for the project Mozilla Firefox OS. Mobile device manufacturers ZTE and TCL, both from China, are ready to produce the Firefox OS operating system. Both manufacturers will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor. Supporters hope to release Firefox smart phone OS in 2013.

Some mobile operators also voiced his support for the Firefox OS. There Deutsche Telekom (parent company of T-Mobile), Etisalat (which operates in 18 countries including the Middle East, Asia and Africa), Sprint in the United States, and Telefónica in Spain.


Ubuntu

Personal computer operating systems, Ubuntu manifest as mobile device operating system. Just as Tizen and Android, Ubuntu is built with the Linux kernel.

Canonical British, as the developer of Ubuntu, announced the existence of Ubuntu for smart mobile devices on Thursday, January 3, 2013.

Ubuntu Mobile is designed to run on devices with ARM and X86 architecture processors. Ubuntu Canonical wants to be able to reach those segments of the market to lower middle class and upper middle.

To woo application developers, Canonical promised to release the Application Programming Interface (API) that developers would build applications on Ubuntu.

Canocical hope Ubuntu-based devices to be released in late 2013. However, it is not known what the producers will adopt and market the device.

The three new open source operating system above would be dreaming to grow and sesubur Android. They hope to get the support of industrial spray technology, mobile operators, application developers, and accepted in the hearts of the people. Strong ecosystem support and this makes the green robot deserve to be called "smart."

Which will be The Next Android for the future?
