The mobile application development especially that of the operating systems, has taken an ugly turn for both the Apple and the Android devices. Since Apple has come up with IOS 1.x (colloquially known as IOS 1 back in 2008), Google came up with the first iteration of its own operating system, the Android version 1.0 in the same year. It was just the beginning of the war which was going to rage on for the years to come. 2013 has been the year where the aspect of technology has gone through many upheavals. More focus has been put on mobile technology this year rather than emphasizing the personal desktops and laptops. This year has been the ideal platform for these tech giants to come up with the latest iteration of the mobile operating system, which is meant exclusively for the next generation smart phone user. The present status: Apple has already released the IOS 7 and Google is still to release its new OS- Android Kit-Kat 4.4.

TV viewers never have to search for the remote control under their Sofa. The Smart Phone would be doing the job of changing channels for them. • There might be a feature similar to Apple's AirDrop which will help you in exchanging files, music and photographs with your friends and relatives who fall in your circle. Everything about Android Kit-Kat is still in a very hypothetical stage. Only time will tell that how far the next version of Android is going to compete with the new version of the iPhone IOS. It is time for you to brace yourself for the OS war.
