MOBILE DEVICE OPERATING SYSTEM

2. Mobile Device Operating Systems
A mobile operating system, also called a mobile OS, is an operating system that is specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices.
The mobile operating system is the software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run on mobile devices.
Managing Resources: The resources that are managed by the operating system include processor, memory, files, and various types of attached devices such as camera, speaker, keyboard and screen.
Interface: interactive interface between devices and networks.
Control, data and voice communication different types of protocols.

7. Java ME Platform It includes two kinds of platforms:
High-end platform for high-end consumer devices. E.g. TV set- top boxes, Internet TVs, auto-mobile navigation systems
Low-end platform for low-end consumer devices. E.g. cell
phones, and pagers
Platforms
Device Characteristics
High-End consumer devices
a large range of user interface capabilities
total memory budgets starting from about two to four MB
persistent, high-bandwidth network connections, often using TCP/IP
Low-end consumer devices
simple user interfaces
minimum memory budgets starting from about 128–256 KB
low bandwidth, intermittent network connections that is often not based on the TCP/IP protocol suite.
most of these devices are battery-operated
