My entrepreneurial idea
is one for an app that would run on both Apple and Android products,
particularly smartphones, iPads and tablets. The app, called “Connected”
is one that allows you to stay in touch with your friends easily no matter
where you are. Using Apple and Android integrated software, this app
automatically shows the location of your closest friends via GPS right on your
mobile device. You will never lose your friends again!
There
are a multitude of operations systems in today’s market. However, the major operating systems that the
majority of people use are Windows created by Bill Gates, Apple by Steve Jobs
and lesser used Unix by Ken Thompson and Linuk by Linus Torvalds. An operating
system provides many very critical functions for a computer. It sits between the hardware and the
user. A GUI or graphical user interface
is what really differentiates the look of an OS that users see. Many people prefer a certain type of GUI over
another and therefore will choose that OS.
An
operating system does more than provide a GUI that allows users to easily do
commands and functions. An operating system starts up and shuts down the
computer, manages programs and memory, monitors system performance, configures
input and output devices, establishes internet connection and acts as a
security center. Windows 7 and Mac OSX
are both standalone operating systems which most independent PC users use. Microsoft and Apple also have server operating
systems specifically for company servers.
Mobile phones also use operating systems that are usually embedded OS.
An
operating system is critical to providing easy access to apps on a phone. Since our main form of sale is through direct
sales of the app itself, it is vital to have an easily accessible app through a
mobile OS. Our target audience is Apple
devices such as the iPhone and iPad as well as Android phones and tablets. These two companies each have their own form
of mobile device OS. Our app will have
to be created to comply with each of these operating systems. We want to have our app work flawlessly with
both operating systems to provide a smooth and beneficial experience to our
users. In order to do this we have to
learn how exactly each mobile OS works and how to best apply our app to each OS’s
strengths.
