Android: is the operating system of Google. Now in version 4.0 called Ice Cream Sandwich, is by far the most used in the world. His store Google Play offers many applications, more than 500 thousand.
iOS: is the operating system of the Apple, not very customizable, is currently available in version 5.0 (version 6 will be released in autumn, read more here). L'App Store has exceeded the threshold of 600 apps.
Windows Phone: is the mobile operating system of Microsoft, not very common, has a Metro interface that makes it simple and intuitive. Version 8 will be released shortly and will introduce significant improvements. The Marketplace has reached 100 applications.

The purchase of these products equipped with sophisticated operating systems has now exceeded 500 euros, but if we really do not want to give it up we can consider the subscription purchase offers from the various mobile phone operators and with a few euros a month we could have our super smartphone.
