Mobile operating systems determine the functions, features, and applications available on a device. The most popular mobile operating systems discussed are Symbian OS, Windows Mobile OS, Android OS, Blackberry OS, and iOS. Native applications are designed specifically for a device's operating system, while web applications can be accessed from any browser but require an internet connection. The future of mobile applications is expected to transition more toward web-based applications for increased convenience and easier maintenance, though native applications will focus more on in-game purchases.
