Android Jelly Bean vs Apple IOS 7 vs Window Phone 8

Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2

Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is the latest offering from the android for their portable devices. Although there is nothing revolutionary about this update, but there are enough significant updates to cement Jelly Bean as the top mobile OS. The UI has significant improvements, can easily resize and move icons and widgets around on each home screen panel, or delete apps by swiping the icon up, which causes it to disappear. The system font looked sharp and smooth ever than before. The predictive keywords work amazingly well but only when you use completely English as the mode for chatting or texting. The predictive text engine of Jelly Bean is superior to the predictive text engine of Apple, because Jelly Bean provides plenty of alternatives too. The browsing experience was smooth and seamless, except for the fact that when auto rotation was switched off then some pages developed snag because they were not able to reorient themselves. This is a minor issue that can be sorted out. There is no Adobe, as Adobe has discontinued all mobile flash development. One of the flagship new features is photo sphere, which lets you take panoramic-like photos in a series of steps as you spin around in place. One important upgrade is Miracast support. Miracast is a wireless display technology that lets you project the contents of the phone’s screen onto an HDTV with a Miracast-compatible wireless adapter attached. Also a “Daydream” feature displays Google current news, scrolling widget information, or some of your photos whenever the device is idle or placed in the desktop dock. Unfortunately, you can’t combine these features.  The best application of this new update is offline voice dictation. It lets you compose messages by speaking to the device even when it is not connected to the internet- just talk and the words will appear on the screen. Believe me, this works amazingly well and never missed a word. It’s for English only as of now. With revised Bluetooth and quick Wi-Fi settings along with other minor but significant changes makes this OS the best available in the market.

Apple iOS 7

We are talking about Apple and when they do something as big as completely overhauling there OS for their portable devices, it’s going to be loved and hated in every nooks and corner of the technological world. Even ardent Apple fans felt that the look and feel of this new OS was jaded. The biggest change is that visually it’s all new, nothing has been left unchanged. iOS is the last major platform to abandon skeuomorphism and go for a flat look. One of the major changes in UI is that the back gesture is available in all iOS 7 default apps. One of the major changes in UI is that the back gesture is available in all iOS 7 default apps. Apple has introduced a Control Center much like android, windows, or blackberry. So, we can say that the idea is borrowed, but for good only. The new safari browser is better and faster. Beside these features, Apple has some new features, best among them is called iTunes Radio, which is free radio streaming service that you can customize with the artist preference. Overall, iOS 7 seems to be a mix of catch-up, curation and very less disruption.

Windows Phone 8

Laying low but still doing a brisk business, the Windows Phone 8 has taken everyone by surprise. When the world was giving credit to either iOS or android, window silently gambled by announcing Windows Phone 8. One of the biggest advantages of this OS is that it’s not the update of its previous issues but it is completely new OS. The duality between the new style interface and apps and the desktop environment is just to be found in the fresh OS. Windows Phone 8 brings more than just an interface and app-running capability. It’s also a set of services, courtesy of the new Microsoft account and SkyDrive. Live tiles are refreshing, as they give you any update on your device. Another advantage of Windows Phone 8’s touch implementation for tablets is that you can do nearly everything with your thumb; this makes sense given the way you hold your tablet. Windows finally introduced an app store called windows store much like android play store. One advantage of windows store over Apples store is that it allows trial version, so you can sample before you buy. Windows Phone 8 is probably the most beta tested OS ever released, and it feels sturdy in day to day use.
