It seems that it is more than just a communication tool.
Now, mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful, so powerful that they can be comparable to handheld computers. Guangguang is a powerful mobile phone hardware in this province. It is not enough to take on the important responsibilities of organizing personal information.
Good hardware must be supported by good software, and good software must also be supported by powerful performance hardware. However, it is equally important to have a good software platform. This software platform is equivalent to the operating system in the computer.

Currently, the main mobile platforms include Symbian, Windows Mobile, Linux, palm, apple, and Google Android. Of course, the latter has not yet come out of the real model, but it is still worth looking forward. As to why Apple is used as a separate platform, we will introduce it later.

He intends to pass the advertisement
(This is the same way Google has always done. It provides you with perfect services and advertisements, but this advertisement
