MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM
A mobile operating system is an operating system used for
smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smartglasses, or other non-
laptop personal mobile computing devices. While computers such
as typical/mobile laptops are "mobile", the operating systems used
on them are generally not considered mobile, as they were
originally designed for desktop computers that historically did not
have or need specific mobile features.

Symbian is a discontinued
mobile operating system (OS) and
computing platform designed for
smartphones.[6] It was originally developed
as a proprietary software OS for
personal digital assistants in 1998 by the
Symbian Ltd
BlackBerry OS is a discontinued proprietary
mobile operating system developed by Canadian
company BlackBerry Limited for its BlackBerry
line of smartphone handheld devices. The
operating system provides multitasking and
supports specialized input devices adopted by
BlackBerry for use in its handhelds, particularly
the trackwheel, trackball, and most recently, the
trackpad and touchscreen.
Android is a mobile operating system based on a
modified version of the Linux kernel and other
open-source software, designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones
and tablets. Android is developed by a
consortium of developers known as the
Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely
used version is primarily developed by Google.
iOS (formerly iPhone OS)[5] is a mobile operating system
developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its smartphones. It
was unveiled in January 2007 for the
first-generation iPhone,[6] launched in June 2007.
It is the operating system that powers many of the
company's mobile devices, including the iPhone. It was also
used on iPads (introduced: January 2010; availability: April
2010) until iPadOS was introduced in 2019, and on the
iPod Touch devices, which were discontinued in mid-2022. [7]
It is the world's second-most widely installed mobile
operating system, after Android. It is the basis for three
other operating systems made by Apple: iPadOS, tvOS,
and watchOS.[8]
Windows Mobile is a discontinued
mobile operating system developed by Microsoft for
smartphones and personal digital assistants.[1]
Its origin dated back to Windows CE in 1996, though
Windows Mobile itself first appeared in 2000 as
Pocket PC 2000 which ran on Pocket PC PDAs. It was
renamed "Windows Mobile" in 2003, at which point it came
in several versions (similar to the desktop versions of
Windows) and was aimed at business and enterprise
consumers. When initially released in the mid-2000s, it was
to be the portable equivalent of what Windows desktop OS
was: a major force in the then-emerging mobile/portable
areas.
