Abstract
Smartphones now days are compact and capable devices. Because of their vast potential in the future, decision was made to research application development for these miniature computers. Out of six platforms powering mobile devices today, three were chosen as most prosperous. For purpose of determining which mobile operating system holds most promise in the future, similar applications were developed for all three systems. In introduction, increasing trend of smartphones and application development for their operating system is presented. Second chapter clarifies term smartphone, describes history and types of development for mobile devices. It is followed by brief overview of mobile operating systems and procedures taken when developing applications for each system. In third chapter application for managing blogs is explained independently of operating system and development approach. In the end, possible application improvements are listed. Chapter four is focused on application development for Android, iPhone and WebOS platforms. Platform specific development concepts are described and displayed on basic code examples. It is followed by comparison and summary of platform’s advantages and disadvantages. Final chapter includes my findings and conclusion based on observations during this dissertation. It also defines the platform I focused on for future development and guidelines for future research.
