iOS (iPhone Operating System), is the software that is installed in iPhone, iPod Touch, and now recently hyped material in the world of tablet computer yes! The iPad. For small information I want my readers to know about the OS. Its first revealed in January 9, 2007. And released in June in that year. This is a derivation of MAC OS X, which is a OS of notebooks and Macbook mini, MacBook etc. It shares the Darwin foundation, and is therefore looks like a Unix based OS by nature. This name first came in the eyes of few people who visited an Expo at Macworld Conference & Expo. That year Apple named that OS is “iPhone uses OS X”. After that it uses it in its iPhone first generation, and get surprisingly hype and it was sold more than 2 million. After seeing this in a press conference Mr. Steve Jobs announced that its modifying version is coming up and this OS doesn’t need any third-party hardware support. It will run independently. It was announced also that Apple is making a SDK for this OS support in iPhone. After the rapid development in OS it released this OS in iPod Touch that has a capability of the iPhone without the feature of Video Phone hardware.
Apple has its own way for representing things and for that on January 27,2010 Apple announced the release of iPad which has a broad Display than iPhone and iPod Touch. With a bumper sale of 1 million product in 1st month Apple gets the way to go through and later it licecse the name iOS from Cisco Inc. Apple has 225,000 applications in its app store for this OS. Which still doesn’t support any third-party hardware. iOS has four layers in its architecture :
1. Abstraction Layer (helps the OS to hide the process of binding of the code and data)
2. Core Services Layer (it helps the OS to run the services run by itself)
3. Media Layer (Helps to run the multimedia features in its body)
4. Cocoa Touch Layer (Helps the user by providing the multi touch gestures in the display)
So, we have now know much about iOS that is now developed that the final (not last) version is running all over that one: iOS 4. This makes some additions in Apple made iPhone 4. Previous versions of iPhone were much boring where as now those stuffs building an interest in peoples face. As it added some features but still lagging behind somewhere. Its like this:
1. Multi-tasking:-
the all new iOS 4 supports finally multi-tasking, i.e. much needed for a user.first generation versions are not compatible with this feature not will be. Now user can jump into another app while doing action in other app. Need not to open it again and again.
iPad also supports multi-tasking.
2. iAd (Revolutionising the world of Mobile Advertising) :-
Well it’s all started with buying a company (Quattro) of mobile advertising last year. From there the development starts and new feature added by Apple in iPhone. It is a launching iAd kind of application to help to change the way of mobile advertising goes on. Suppose you are general movie show time app and suddenly you see that there is a toy stroy is trying to poking his head out the bottom. Peel the bottom layer and you get an application with in an application. It stands for suppose you are in a website where you get a short ad of going to get to a new website. That’s it.
3. Gaming Center:-
Apple is supporting the games also where it launched a social network where you can play games as well as making partners in same kind of games, if you are not getting a partner this app will find a partner for you. Isn’t it cool!
4. Folders for your icons:-
are you getting bored with the so called icons on your home screen? Then just feel free because Apple gives you the freedom of choosing the icons of your folders. And can name them whatever you want but can’t name them like”System32” it will not represent the OS sub folder. And when you create a folder you can sum up all the apps as you choose and access them as you want.
5. Unified the inbox:-
the iPhone has evolved slowly-somebody said. Because, Apple makes an update is that you don’t have to jump in or out again and again for seeing your mail. Apple made it unified all into one place-thankfully coinciding the announcement that users can have more than one exchange account on it’s devices. Just like gmail and facebook and orkut you can work in your inbox and as well as you can with your friends as all the conversations are threaded. Attachments can be done in your emails.
6. iBooks comes all the way:-
The all new element that is added in iPad and iPhone is iBook where you will be able to download the books and read them. Better you say that it is an app for reading PDFs’. Apple has a rival: Adobe. So it will never use Acrobat Reader in Steve Jobs iPad. Everything has an app in the way PDFs’ and e-books have.
7. No flash:-
Mr. Steve Jobs think that flash has several disadvantages which is not implacable in his device so he is strongly denied to Flash. So, its a bad news for Farmville, Fishville, cafe world players. Maybe there will be some app called “iflash” in near future. Anyways development is on the way.
So still apple lags behind in some fields. iPhone 4 will be a worth of buying with certain price. iPad is already sold so much. 3 million iPads in last 3 months. Not a joke!!!!! So, here we can get an all over idea that Apple is trying tomake its own house with it’s own furniture and carpets. Let’s see when the whole world will see an “i”. This is all about iOS 4 which gives you a new feeling of handling your iPhone r tablet Computer iPad. Hope there will be more updates in iOS 4 and will be launched soooooooooooooooooonnnnn...........
