Unlike the Apple App Store, Android is open type which allows users to go through other application stores.

It provides a clean interface and connected to its various services, and even has its success system. – Download the App-Shop

# 2 SlideMe (by SlideMe LLC) In English, however, it is much richer than the official store. We find first the vast majority of hundreds of thousands of applications available on Google Play, but that are added to those that were rejected by Google or simply transferred due to a breach of the rules of the store. We find for example many emulators that can obviously play old games. In addition to the formal application, a website also allows to navigate from your computer and download the files. Apk applications you want to download. If almost all is free, the blind nonetheless completely legal because the apps work with the pub. – Download at SlideMe

# 3 GetjJar (by GetJar, Inc.) With its 800,000 applications, GetJar was so far what was best and even offered several exclusives. We remember in particular that caused quite a stir when it was paid a temporary exclusion of Angry Birds a few years ago. Very popular, but it does not apply formal, we must go through a mobile site or via computer. Still, it is no less full of good ideas. Like Google Play, GetJar allows you to filter results based on the compatibility with your device that you can select. To download the app, you can browse the store on your PC / Mac and get a code for use on the mobile version to recover quickly. – Access to GetJar # 4 Yaam (by Pixello Studio) If the market application n ‘ is very useful at the moment, it does not mean it should be thrown away. Particularly popular among users of smartphones or mobile operators oldest running Android but not necessarily in Android 2.2, Yamm is a marketplace that allows you to free from the shackles imposed by Google and telecom operators that may prevent you can download apps on Google Play. If the big publishers are not, however there are a few gems, but many service applications. – Download Yaam

# 5 Opera Mobile App Store (by Handster) The famous, yet very widespread internet browser is also present in this segment. Again, everything happens via a website, no dedicated application therefore, we can still browse the store directly via their mobile for more comfort. If you go through the PC / Mac, you must download a file as SlideMe. Apk to install it manually. You can filter the list according to which the phone is available and enjoy many free games or paid. These can also be purchased via SMS +, it is not necessary to have a credit card or a Google Wallet account or Paypal.

Mobile OS: Top 4 Most Popular

June 6, 2012 Gadgets

In recent times, there has been considerable increase in the number of mobile devices that people use – and with it the options for operating platforms for these devices have also increased. Our target here will be to let you know about some of the common operating systems which are nowadays used in mobile devices and their positive as well as negative features.

Android OS

Android is based on one of the Linux kernel’s modified versions and was purchased by Google from another company. Some of the main advantages of Android OS include being open source, quite powerful, with updates readily available, and a vast marketplace for apps. On the other hand, it has some limitations also: only a limited number of handsets support Android and there are some power management concerns which are yet to be sorted out.

Windows Mobile OS

Windows mobile OS is becoming popular gradually and many phones are coming out loaded with this OS. Some of the main features of this operating system are that is it stable, several programs are available on this OS, the new interface has considerably enhanced touch navigation, syncs well with Google mobile and many handsets are now in the market for this OS.  However, there are some points on which the OS is still lacking such as user friendliness of the interface and slow browser speed.

iPhone OS

iPhone OS is nowadays quite popular and runs on the iPhone, iTouch and the iPad. The good thing about this OS is that it is reliable, there are millions of apps available for download, it features an excellent interface as well as touch navigation, and works quickly and effortlessly when switching between apps. The few things that could really be improved are the prices (devices using the OS tend to be quite expensive) and also the fact the apps can be downloaded from limited places only.

Linux Mobile OS

Linux is an open source operating system the mobile OS has some features which have made it well known. First of all, Linux is free and thus several apps developed for this OS are also available for free; as it is open source, any one can work on developing it further as well as enhance its usability. There is plenty of online support available in different forums and user groups to help you out with your queries or any problems you face while using it. The downsides to Linux Mobile OS is the existence of many bugs in need of sorting out, and the somewhat challenging installation process.

No comments

The statistics lovers will be happy. The new version (5.3) of Google Maps for Android (available on the market) gives access to the history of their movements, as estimated by the Latitude Service from Google. This dashboard shows the time spent at home, office and travel.

This mobile version is less rich than the service available online from google.com / latitude, which can, for example, find a summary of his travels. The data are based on estimates calculated by Google based on travel patterns of users and are therefore very approximate. Rest assured, the service Google’s Latitude, which also serves to share their location with friends of his choice is not enabled by default.

Google Maps 5.3 allows also to do a check in (note its location in the community) from a location identified as his home. A small additional facility to quickly indicate to her friends that one is at home. Finally, the Google Maps service spaces enriched with the possibility to describe a place (a cafe, restaurant, museum, etc..) Directly from the card’s software, by adding comments on music, the ambience, food, etc..

 

Android and Windows 7 Will Lead in 2015

March 31, 2011 Gadgets
No comments

According to a study conducted by IDC on mobile operating systems, Android Phone and Windows 7 would be pretty far ahead iOS models, by 2015. It also gives accurate predictions of market shares of each of the actors in this platform that continues to grow.

Thus, analysis (predictions?) conducted by IDC include not only a market expected to double in 2011, with no less than 450 million smartphones sold this year, but also more precise figures on the next 4 years.

As a result, Android would have 45.4% market share in 2015, while Apple would reap 15.3% while Microsoft would make a nice breakthrough, with 20.9% market share.

Symbian just sink straight down, with a tiny 0.2% market share by four years. Normal, since Microsoft and its agreement with Nokia, is expected to change this.

In light of these figures, it is difficult to assume anything in the future on the market very volatile operating systems for smartphones. These evolving in advertisements and offers from manufacturers. See you in 2015 to assess the veracity (or not) of these predictions!
