5 Mobile platforms (1/2) The platform war rages continuously, currently the big battle in smartphones is between Android, Windows Phone 7 and Apple ios The vast amount of non-smartphones shouldn t be forgotten though! Accessing native phone features usually requires a native application specially developed for each platform, causing fragmentation to the service market HTML5 is hoped or at least hyped to become a future platform with access to native features and tight integration In this course, five platforms are possible to choose from Android, Apple ios, Windows Phone 7, WAC and Blaast

6 Mobile platforms (2/2) 70,0 % Source: Gartner 60,0 % 50,0 % 40,0 % 30,0 % 20,0 % 10,0 % 0,0 % 3Q07 1Q08 3Q08 1Q09 3Q09 1Q10 3Q10 1Q11 3Q11 Symbian Blackberry Apple Android Others

7 Google Android Google s open mobile operating system which has gained rapid success with multiple device manufacturers Basic coding language is Java, but also C/C++ native ARM code is possible to develop Development tools available for Windows, OS X and Linux Next Android Aalto hackathon on Saturday 28 th January:

8 Apple ios Apple s very tightly walled operating system used by Apple s own iphone, ipod and ipad products Apps are coded in Objective-C Development only possible on OS X computers

9 Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Microsoft s promising new platform Apps are developed using Visual Studio 2010, with C# or Visual Basic as the main language Development tools only available for Windows 92).aspx Aalto WP Community s next event on 3 rd February: Two WP7 phones will be available for testing later this Spring

10 WAC WAC, or the Wholesale Applications Community is a telecom operator led initiative to provide a crossoperator API for services WAC is based on a web-based runtime running across different mobile platforms, with a centralized application repository Currently the runtime is available for Android devices and an emulator and the SDK is available for Eclipse

11 Blaast A new application environment with a hybrid clientserver approach A runtime client for mobile devices (currently J2ME supported), featuring automatic updates, multitasking and notifications Computing and data intensive tasks are performed inside the Blaast Cloud Apps are written in JavaScript using the Rocket Developer Tool (available for Windows, OS X and Linux)

12 Group assignments and topics (1/3) The group assignment consists of developing a mobile application as well as a plan for it and a final report The available topics are: Android Android NFC (an NFC-based application, can be emulated) Apple ios Windows Phone 7 WAC Blaast

WAC, 2. Android, 3. Apple ios, 4. Android NFC, 5. Windows Phone, 6. Blaast) Your programming experience and background ( mini-cv ) in general and with which languages and platforms Possibilities to use your own laptop (ios development is only possible using an OS X computer) or if you want to use an Aalto workstation If you have any ideas already for your mobile application, a preferred group or special interest to become a group leader
