It is Apple’s mobile operating system used to run the popular iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Touch devices. Formerly known as the iPhone OS, the name was changed with the
introduction of the iPad. It interprets the commands of software applications (“apps”) and it
gives those apps access to features of the device, such as the multi-touch screen or the storage.

It is the interface between the operating person and the device. Mobile operating systems like
IOS different from most other operating systems because IOS put each application in its own
protective layer, which will not allow other applications from manipulating them.This
makes it impossible for a virus to infect apps on these operating system, although other
forms of malware can and do exist. The protective shell around apps also poses limitations
because it keeps apps from directly communicating with each other. IOS gets around this by
using extensible, a feature that essentially lets an app have the approval to communicate with
another app.

Google Now are all pre-installed on most Android phones.

phones. As a result, an Android user can download and install great applications for free
from the Android Market, from thousands of apps. you can make free calls to your contacts
around the world through you computer or mobile device. Android makes this even more easy
and interesting. To make free or cheap local and international VoIP calls on your Android
device, you need to have Internet connection with decent bandwidth, either through a 3G or 4G
data plan or a WiFi hot spot, and you need to install a VoIP app from the Android Market. Here
