The speed of Linux development exceeds our imagination, so many people become Linux users. Now Linux is no longer limited to desktop operating systems, and it has entered the mobile phone industry. Linux mobile phone OS may surpass Microsoft, which accounts for the mobile phone industry.
With its free, free, and open-source advantages, Linux, coupled with the support of computer giants such as IBM and Sun, has made great efforts by programmers from the Internet and all over the world, the Linux mobile OS market has sprung up, especially after many well-known vendors announce support for Linux mobile OS, the development of Linux cannot be ignored.
Because Linux has the advantages of open source code, low software authorization cost, and rich application development talent resources, it is easy to develop personal and industrial applications. This feature is very important because a wide range of applications are the embodiment of the superiority and key selling points of smartphones. From the perspective of application development, because the source code of Linux is open, it is helpful for independent software developers (ISVs) to develop application software with high hardware utilization efficiency and more powerful functions, it also facilitates industry users to develop their own secure and controllable authentication systems. Especially when a large number of smartphones are used as mobile terminals for industrial applications, Linux is used to facilitate the implementation of system-integrated security policies.
The entertainment performance of Linux is also powerful, supporting MP3, WMA, RM, AVI and other audio and video formats. Currently, there are few third-party software suitable for Linux systems, but basic software is available. A typical example of an embedded Linux system is Motorola's smartphone E680i and A1200.
Palm: The iconic feature of Palm OS is that it can run only one program at a time with a single thread, therefore, Palm OS will never fall into memory overflow because it opens multiple applications. This is also its advantage and disadvantage, because many people are not satisfied with the fact that they can only process one task at the same time. The calendar management and recording functions of Palm are the simplest and most powerful in all operating systems. Palm OS has good compatibility with desktop computers, Office compatibility, and sending and receiving emails.
Multimedia playback is the weakness of Palm, using the Palm built-in media player, only can play the MPEG-1 files converted through the Palm Desktop, and the effect is not good, third-party tools are also required for playing DRM-protected music. With entertainment at the top, the poor multimedia performance is one of the reasons why Palm is fading.
Palm was once the dominant operating system in the Palm computer, but now it is no longer popular. Since Sony announced its withdrawal from the International PDA market, its shares have been gradually eroded by Windows Mobile.
Maybe mobile phones will become the world of Linux mobile OS.
