Desktop computers mostly rely on three major operating systems, inclduing Windows, Mac OS and Linuz(Linux). Mobile computing, curently focused on multimedia phones, will see more treelike branching into emerging segments. Big corporatins and small start-ups as well are striving to carve out the best possible share of the mobile market, which is expanding but is confronted with technological limitations, including battery life, battery safety and the growing legal bans on the use of mobile handsets at the wheel, particularly when driving. Legal bans on the use of handsets by pedestrians are likely to grow globally. Out of the global total of mobile handsets in use, Internet-enabled handsets account for 10% as of the end dof 2007, which is another bottleneck lying ahead of 'mobile platform' developers and apps developers. Technological insights are mission critical to head off costly mobile format wars, and it was about time we had to pay attention to vehicular dashtop mobile equipment to harness vehicle traffic for environmental protection purposes as well as resouces-saving benefits.

Renamed from "Mobile platform" to "Mobile operating system".

Hi, there Chmyr : )

Nice job getting this page started!

The term "platform" can be used to refer a device's hardware, operating system, software, or all three together. And given that there's a separate article called "Mobile device", It seemed that the term "operating system" would be more specific to the subject of this article.

Btw, I temporarily named the article "Handheld operating system", which was a mistake.

android?

Is there any reason why android is not listed under "linux"? 129.105.14.237 (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date information

Can someone please provide more up-to-date information on the market share of individual operating systems? Q3 2008 is now a bit too old in my opinion.
