THE SCENERY

Steve Jobs and iPhone 2G in 2007

The smartphone market begun in 2007, when Steve Jobs’s presented a new kind of device, with one side completely reconfigurable for both the interface to content: the iPhone. (applause!).

Since then there have been just over 10 years, and we have passed through generations of hardware, gradually getting better and with more and larger displays. This using an iterative and so slow method.

FEW ALTERNATIVE IN OSES.

Where there was not much variety was the appearance of the software or the operating system. From the point of view of the mainstream public, after iOS, we have seen it coming Android, copied from them to the legal limits.

Then there was also the Windows Mobile, widely publicised, but — fortunately — it reached many few real users.

There is another very good operating system that has not reached the general public, for sure not in the United States — where it has never been officially launched — remained a niche because of the choices of its creator, Nokia: this Os is Meego Harmattan from the legendary N9.
