Earlier mobile communication technologies were dominated by vertically integrated service provision which are
highly bounded mainly to voice and short message services that are organized in a monopolistic competition
between few mobile virtual network operators, service providers and enhanced service providers. In the recent
years, however, radical change driven by advancements in technology, witnessed the introduction and further
development of smartphones where the user can get access to new applications and services by connecting to the
device manufactures’ application stores and the like. These smartphones have added many features of a fullfledged
computer: high speed processors, large storage space, multitasking, high-resolution screens and cameras,
multipurpose communication hardware, and so on. However, these devices market is dominated by a number of
different technological platforms, including different operating systems (OS) and application development
platforms, resulting in a variety of different competing solutions on the market driven by different actors. This
paper detailed a review and comparative analysis of the features of these technological platforms.
