Windows.  Viruses.  Laptops.  Internet.  Office.  Utilities.  Drivers

The operating system is the main program on the device. The capabilities of your tablet or phone, as well as your subjective impressions of working with the device, largely depend on it. Therefore, it is important and necessary to know the differences between operating systems. Using the example of this article, we will highlight how operating rooms differ Android systems and Symbian.

Definition

Android is an extremely popular operating system on the modern market, produced by the company of the same name, owned by Google Inc.

Symbian– once the most popular OS in the world. A few years ago, Symbian was the invincible ruler of HiTech-Olympus, but was subsequently removed from its pedestal.

Comparison

Of course, first of all, it is worth noting that the Symbian operating system project was closed in 2012 and since then development has been under the auspices associated with Nokia phones, are not maintained. Android, on the contrary, having successfully occupied three quarters of the market by the beginning of 2013, is putting pressure on stronger competitors.

And the reasons for this failure of Symbian (part of them, to be more precise) should be sought in other differences - they are the ones that can reveal the core of the problem to us. Not least important is the openness of the operating system code. If the project belongs to the category Open Source, its “sources” are available to both application developers and programmers. To date open source– the most promising link in most business strategies. For the Android asset manager, awareness of these requirements of the modern world came faster. Symbian coordinators could not boast of such insight and retained the rights to use the OS within the circle of members of the Symbian Foundation, which, by the way, included such prominent players as Samsung Electronics and LG.

And last but not least, the difference. When developing the Android system, from the very beginning the focus was on universality - it was planned to equip the OS not only with smartphones that were gaining popularity at that time, but with a wider range of devices. The results of such a flexible policy can now be observed in all their victorious splendor.

Conclusions website

  1. Android, unlike Symbian, is an ongoing project.
  2. Android has open source, and Symbian board members restricted access to the source code.
  3. Android is universal, which cannot be said about Symbian.

Every third person, with the exception of those over 50 years old, begins at some point to complain about the quality of their phone. Just ten years ago those Cell phones, which we now hold in our hands, would seem to be the height of perfection of the technical process. And the question of Android or Symbian, which is better to buy, was not something that buyers of previous years did not face; they did not even know such concepts.

Modern phones, and we are not talking about super sophisticated smartphone models, have:

  • internet application,
  • video player,
  • audio player.

But for a modern person, accustomed to the fact that a smartphone practically replaces a computer, a phone with an expanded system of applications and programs is needed. Today, there are several types of smartphones, differing in the range of available functions and type of operating system:


If the operating system Windows yet somehow familiar to computer users, then the Android or Symbian systems better question, requiring careful consideration.

Operating system Android

Today, the operating system for mobile devices Android is the only one based on Linux systems. Thanks to the Android system, mobile phones have won fans not only professional computer scientists, but also ordinary people. Android has turned the mobile phone into a device with an incredible number of functions and the ability to install many additional applications.

Despite the rather small functional range of the offline mode, connecting to the Internet works wonders with it. Buying a smartphone with the Android operating system is worth purchasing for those who have unlimited Internet on your phone, or has the ability to constantly use a free WI-FI zone.

Among the wide range of games and applications used, Android categorically occupies a leading position. Due to the fact that almost every manufacturer of mobile gadgets produces Android, smartphones have a wide range of prices, from the lowest to the very highest. There are different Android models:

  • youth smartphones,
  • monoblocks,
  • smartphone - slider.

If you are a regular Internet user and cannot imagine your life without the World Wide Web, a smartphone with the Android operating system is your best choice.

Smartphones with Symbian operating system

The Symbian system began taking its first tentative steps on the mobile device market back in 1991. This is the oldest operating system of all. Thanks so much
long history of its existence, the operating system for smartphones Symbian has become almost perfect. Manufacturers took into account previous experience and set a confident course towards an innovative future.

If you look at the technical side of the issue, Symbian is not exactly an operating system. This core is the center of the system. The standard interface that is installed on most Symbian mobile devices is called S60.

Any smartphone with the Symbian operating system is produced exclusively by Nokia. All Symbian smartphones are divided into:

  1. Phones for listening to music and entertainment XpressMusic.
  2. Business phones of the E series.
  3. Other phones that combine some of the functions of previous series.

Most of the consumer market for smartphones running the Symbian operating system consists of business people who do not particularly need games and entertainment applications. Despite the active development of Symbian functionality, this operating system is still distinguished by its conservatism. For the correct operation of most Symbian applications and programs, an Internet connection is not particularly important, although it will be a very nice and useful addition.

Summarizing the above, the conclusion suggests itself. Smartphones with the Symbian system are intended either for avid music lovers or for extremely business people.

And the question of Android or Symbian, which is better, is decided by each consumer himself, based on his preferences in technical characteristics ah smartphone.

Dark Horse - Windows Phone

Operating system for smartphones Windows Phone has a number of distinctive technical characteristics and nuances in its work. It’s worth starting with the fact that under the Windows Phone platform there are two completely different and unrelated operating systems:

  1. Windows Phone
  2. Windows Mobile.

Windows Phone 6.5. presented with more advanced and latest Windows version Mobile. Although if you look at it, all the changes, for the most part, affected only the outer shell.

Windows Phone has a touch-sensitive start menu. And that's where the quick control ends. Most applications work using a standard keypad, which brings some inconvenience. Buttons mobile device They are very small in size, and you will have to spend a lot of time before their use ceases to cause inconvenience.

Disadvantages of the Windows Phone platform:

  • small buttons,
  • inability to play video files that have not been converted,
  • a very small set of standard menu applications.

A noticeable change in the positive direction that was introduced Windows developers Phone, improved version Explorer browser, the use of which has finally become acceptable, and does not eat away at the nerves of users with long, broken loading of Internet pages.

As in previous years, smartphones with operating Windows system Phones are more designed to work offline. The presence of the Internet will not affect their functionality in any way, but can be used for Internet surfing.

Even a careful consideration of all the advantages and disadvantages of the three types of operating systems will not help you choose the best among them. Every buyer, before purchasing a mobile gadget, must clearly determine how the device will be used. Some are captivated by the wide functional range of Android, others rely on the stability of Symbian. And someone is in pursuit of the not yet so widespread operating system Windows Phone 7.

Today, robotic kits are beginning to significantly assist in human learning. Recently, one of the leading providers of educational solutions STEAM (the term means education using science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics as touchpoints for surveys, dialogues with students) debuted on the global stage for innovators and cutting-edge technologies (CES 2020). and creating critical thinking). The debutant was the company Matatalab (Matatalab), attracting attention with a line of robotic sets Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite - it sought to test innovative technologies. Which help develop computational thinking skills and prepare children for the digital world.

Robotics and education news: Educational robotic kits Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite can prepare you for understanding the digital world.

Matatalab's amazingly simple robotic kits track children's cognitive development (from concrete to abstract) and use simple symbol design to enable learning children to understand coding and computational thinking through fun yet challenging play-based quests.


Matatalab's operations span the B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) markets, offering professional solutions to educational institutions and families around the world, including robotic programming (robotics kits), curriculum, educational packages, and more. Video review of the robotic kit Matatalab Coding Set: Program just like ABC.

This is a practical robot for children from 4 to 9 years old. Encourage kids to learn basic coding/programming concepts through adventure and hands-on play! Using coding blocks with a light touch, kids can now learn to code without screens.

According to Matatalab, over many years of development, the company has been committed to the principle of "Coding and Confidence to Make a Difference."

Video review of the Matatalab Lite robotic kit:

Matatalab Lite is an adorable and easy-to-use coding robot, ready to take young children as young as three years old on an exciting coding/programming adventure. It consists of a robotic machine with sensors and a wireless controller with three modes, namely control mode, coding mode and sensor mode.

The robotic kit develops problem solving skills, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration for your kids through hands-on game programming. Children can enjoy learning basic programming concepts such as sequencing, conditionals, and debugging, and will be continually challenged with more challenging problems.

A few words about why the educational robotic sets Matatalab Coding Set and Matatalab Lite were created, from the manufacturer:

"The two founders of Matatalab previously worked for an industry-leading educational robotics company, delivering software and equipment for teaching programming to primary schoolchildren all over the world. Based on this experience, they identified a lack of products on the market that teach programming to young children. Despite the educational value of STEM, computer science, programming, and computational thinking, learning to code is still limited to programming on tablets or computers. However, the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards have shown that children can learn the basics of programming even in preschool. Therefore, they envisioned creating an easy-to-use robot to teach programming to children with low thresholds, rich features, and varied application scenarios. They later founded Matatalab Co., Ltd and successively released "Matatalab Pro Set", "Matatalab Coding Set", and "Matatalab Lite". Instead of programming languages, these products use a tangible programming language that matches the cognitive characteristics of children aged 4-9 years. The coding kit is intended for children aged 4 years and older. Given that Coding Block is a programming language, no screen is required and children can edit their own programs, similar to replacing building blocks. In addition, expansion packs such as music, art and sensors are also available for children to achieve advanced learning skills. Designed specifically for 3-4 year olds, the Lite Series features a controller instead of code boards and blocks. This design focuses on the exploration direction and sequence of children of this age, and it is beneficial for children to acquire basic sensory perceptions such as sound, light, color and speed.

- History of the creation of robots, from Matatalab.

One of the founders is a graduate of the mathematics department of China's first Tsinghua University. He developed the entire range of products. Initially, a technical prototype was developed and demo samples were created on Raspberry Pi boards. All of this has been tested by relevant teachers, students and parents in several communities and educational institutions. After proof of concept, it was presented to industry experts at different countries and discussed further optimization. Then the first round of investment took place. The team began to expand and the product design became more attractive. After a year of research and development, the product experience has improved significantly. Subsequently, 3D printing samples were tested in 13 countries and received feedback from many educational experts, teachers and students in Europe and the United States. This helped further improve product quality and eventually achieve mass production. It is noted that safety and reliability are top priorities because the product is intended for children. Professional organizations and suppliers were found to solve supply chain and mass production problems, and products were thoroughly tested to even pass food grade certification. This is now the highest level of testing for toy products in the world, and according to the creators, the products can be as safe as baby bottles.

- Interesting moments that arose when creating robots, according to Matatalab.

When we visited investors to seek investment, the demo prototype was damaged during the trip. So we could only play the role of the robot through gestures and body language to explain our practical coding concepts and how robots work. Fortunately, we impressed investors and received investment. Of course, we believe this is because our product is exceptional and that we are pioneers in the blue ocean market,” said Rishon Su, CEO of Matatalab.


The design principle of our product is low threshold and high ceiling. It's easy to start, but the difficulty will increase step by step, constantly testing students' thinking abilities. We have developed three task guides. Many adults found them easy at first but got lost in the tasks high level or spent a lot of time doing them. For example, a computer science teacher at the University of Chicago could complete just the last step of our assignment in 6 minutes and 42 seconds. He joked that he would never tell his daughter about this experience. So while the game is very easy to learn, it is just as challenging as an adult game,” said Tony Zheng, Chief Operating Officer of Matatalab."


Matatalab in educational institutions of Russia.
According to the creators of the educational robotic kits Matatalab:

"Today Matatalab is used in 500-700 educational institutions of various levels from kindergarten until high school. The question of the number of institutions is very difficult because Digis does not work with end users, and Matatalab has more than 120 active partners in all regions of the country.

In addition to public schools and kindergartens, Matatalab is used in private development centers, as well as in teacher training centers in many regions of the country.

In April 2020, the first interschool Matata competitions may be held on the basis of a Moscow school. Eight kits have already been provided for developing tasks and preparing teams.

Around the same time (in March), the 2020 NTI Olympiad will be held in the Siberian region of Russia, in the city of Novosibirsk, together with the Ministry of Education of the Novosibirsk Region. "

Want to know about a router with incredibly good performance? There is an Archer AX50 device - this is the latest wireless router from the Chinese company TP-Link Technologies. Unlike conventional routers produced by the manufacturer "TP-Link", this model is equipped the latest technology Wi-Fi that promises to improve Wi-Fi connection at lightning speed - thanks to the implementation of the standard wireless communication sixth generation IEEE 802.11ax.

News about routers today: The new model of the TP-Link Archer AX50 router supports Wi-Fi 6, up to 3 Gigabit per second, 4K streaming, connecting 40+ devices, saves batteries, has an antivirus.

The innovative design of the TP-Link Archer AX50 router has a classic rectangular design with plenty of ventilation holes to keep the device cool. The model has four external non-removable antennas and several LED indicators to display the status of the router.


Which Wi-Fi router is better?

The new TP-Link Archer AX50 router was presented by the Chinese brand as a device on Intel platform, which offers users access to the latest features connections in a ready-to-use system. It supports the latest 802.1ax wireless standard, also known as WiFi 6, to improve overall speed and performance to future-proof users when upgrading existing solutions for home networks.

Latest wireless version Wi-Fi technology 6 promises to make WiFi communications much faster than the 802.11ac standard. Nowadays, high performance wireless technology (Wi-Fi 6) is already available on some mobile phones such as Samsung Galaxy S10 and Apple iPhone 11.

On this moment With many Wi-Fi 6 routers being extremely expensive, it's possible that the TP-Link Archer AX50 variant is designed to provide mass use Wi-Fi connection 6.

Video review of TP-Link Archer AX50: Quick setup and how it works new model router with Wi-Fi 6

Additionally, let's look at what the router can do:

Wi-Fi 6 technology Intel technology provides three times higher speeds, large capacity and lower latency than previous generation Wi-Fi 5, while the dual-core Intel processor ensures smooth performance;

There is backward compatibility, the Archer AX50 router model supports all previous 802.11 standards and many devices with Wi-Fi;

Comment about the router from the manufacturer (TP-Link Russia press service):

"Archer AX50 is part of the "Archer AX" line of routers with support for Wi-Fi 6 - the new generation of wireless communications (it also includes the Archer AX11000, AX6000, AX3000, AX10, AX1500 and some others). TP-Link is the world leader in home wireless devices, so, of course, the company focuses on global trends and innovations occurring in this market.

One of these innovations was the company’s presentation Intel chipsets with Wi-Fi 6 at the end of 2018 - and already in February 2019, TP-Link showed the first models with Wi-Fi 6 at the MWC 2019 exhibition in Barcelona. Archer AX50 just became the first example of cooperation between TP-Link and Intel (in addition to cooperation with Intel, various TP-Link devices are also supplied on chipsets from Qualcomm, Broadcom, Mediatek, and so on..., and among the major joint projects it is worth noting the partnership with by Google during the production of the Google OnHub router).

The reason why routers with Wi-Fi 6 began to appear was the increased demand for even higher Internet connection speeds, as well as higher throughput within the network. All this, in turn, is due to the growing number of wireless gadgets in modern households: today not only laptops and mobile phones are connected to Wi-Fi, but also televisions (TV broadcasting is also gradually moving online), smart home infrastructure devices, gaming consoles and multimedia devices, including those using augmented and virtual reality. In other words, if we do not take into account Mobile Internet, then Wi-Fi is becoming the main medium for transmitting information, and this medium requires improvements over time.

The Archer AX50 model is precisely designed for modern households that need a powerful foundation for accessing the Internet and connecting a large number of clients - with a reserve for several years to come.

Speaking about further market prospects, the following can be noted:

The number of clients that can be connected to the Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure will grow;

There will be an increasing number of technologies that will take advantage of Wi-Fi 6 speeds;

The smart home infrastructure will develop, and it will increasingly rely on Wi-Fi;

TP-Link, in turn, will present models that meet the requirements on the international and Russian markets modern users.

We have large production facilities, as well as several research centers in Asia and the USA - which will allow us to quickly adapt these requirements into new products and developments. "


Final words:

Recently new TP-Link routers Archer's lines address the growing need for improved connectivity solutions as consumers continue to integrate smarter devices into their homes that require increasing bandwidth.

The new aircraft, called the Flying Gondola, optimizes flight performance through center of gravity control technology. Reliability, which allows people to move safely, is an integral part of air mobility. However, in order to widely use the Flying Gondola aircraft as a means of transportation in the airspace, its creators from Aeronext Inc (Japan) believe that achieving both "safety" and " comfort." So that every passenger can easily use the aircraft without any reason to doubt.

Latest aircraft news: Japanese developer Aeronext has introduced the "Flying Gondola" for ease of air travel.

According to the developer Aeronext, the new concept mobile movement in the air, "Flying Gondola" not only provides "safety" but also "comfort", which is different from the traditional concept of air mobility, which mainly focuses only on the ease of movement of passengers.


When will the Flying Gondola replace a regular airplane?

The Flying Gondola provides new experience flight, which according to Aeronext allows the passenger to have fun and enjoy the freedom of flight and the scenery in the sky. Development is moving forward and the next project “Next Mobility” will become the first fundamental prototype of the “Flying Gondola”, but more on that later in the review.

The aircraft's vertical take-off and landing are controlled by a center of gravity technology called "Tiltbody".

The technology that is integral to the new Flying Gondola concept is the recently announced "Tiltbody" technology (an umbrella term for Aeronext's center of gravity control technology).

The developed technology stabilizes the takeoff and landing of VTOL aircraft (the term stands for vertical takeoff and landing). During the transition from takeoff to level flight, unlike traditional aircraft where the rotor is fixed, the rotor's movable arm (called the "propeller arm") moves to achieve optimal flight performance while maintaining cabin level with the ground. Perhaps this could mean that comfort and safety are maximized.

The company is also developing the first fundamental prototype of a single-seat passenger aircraft, Next Mobility. This is a prototype that embodies a new concept of air mobility like the Flying Gondola. It features 4D GRAVITY center of gravity technology and the recently announced VTOL Tiltbody center of gravity technology. The all-new Next Mobility model is the first prototype to be a 1/3-size model of a single-seat aircraft.

Video review of the flight of the Aeronext flying vehicle: The Next Mobility prototype embodies the concept of the “Flying Gondola”.

In the future, the Japanese developer Aeronext promises to announce similar aircraft that can be used by several people.

Commentary on how the Flying Gondola drone was created, from the creators:

Natsuko Ito, global director of marketing, Aeronext Inc.:

"Aeronext is a technology startup for drone architecture founded in Japan in 2017, and we have invented a unique 4D GRAVITY® center of gravity control technology that greatly improves stability.

We have already announced several concept models for specific industrial applications using 4D GRAVITY®, such as for use in delivery and inspection.

And this time, to more clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of 4D GRAVITY®, we created an aerial concept mobile model A "flying gondola" equipped with 4D GRAVITY® and other patented technologies that provide both safety and comfort.

We believe this is a realistic solution that will increase the social acceptability of air mobility by providing people with a new flying experience.

We used a unique "split architecture" using our patented 4D GRAVITY® technology, which separates the cabin portion from the flight portion so that the cabin remains level with the ground at all times.

The original idea of ​​4D GRAVITY® was invented by our technical director, Mr. Suzuki, and this concept model of the "Flying Gondola" was created by him and his team of engineers. "


Technical characteristics of the Aeronext aircraft and advantages declared by the developer:

A vehicle with remote-controlled automatic navigation that does not require a pilot on board;

Smooth and stable transition from takeoff to level flight;

Comfortable entry into the device because the seat is flush with the ground.

The passenger can relax and enjoy a conversation on a mobile phone;

It is easy to board the aircraft even in a skirt or high heels;

The front, left and right sides of the device are covered with glass to enjoy the view of the flight;

The aircraft is specially equipped with wings and a propeller system to prevent collision even in an emergency during landing.

Operating system news and rumors: Which Apple device models will be updated to iOS 14 and when will the update be released? Read on.

If you've been keeping track of updates from Apple's iOS team, it won't be surprising to see that with every new update, Apple comes up with an iPhone compatibility list. For example, while iOS 11 and iOS 12 were released for iPhones before iPhone versions 5S. This particular phone was an exception to the iOS 13 compatibility list.


As you know, Apple periodically disables support for older devices in its updates. The suspected reason for the change in the compatibility list is the device's processor architecture. However, it looks like this may not be the case this year when iOS 14 releases. According to French source "iPhone Soft", the new system Apple iOS 14 (still in development) can run on all those iPhones currently supported by iOS 13. This is supposedly information from a "developer friend at Apple."

Naturally, the list may be expanded iPhone models current year (12 and SE 2). So according to rumors, if this is true, when will it be released? iOS update 14, it will be available for all iPhone models in the following list:

iPhone 12 Pro Max(only by rumor);
- iPhone 12 Pro (rumored);
- iPhone 12 (rumors);
- iPhone SE 2 or known as iPhone 9 (still rumored);
- iPhone 11 Pro Max;
- iPhone 11 Pro;
- iPhone 11;
- iPhone Xs Max;
- iPhone Xs;
- iPhone X;
- iPhone XR;
- iPhone 8 Plus;
- iPhone 8;
- iPhone 7 Plus;
- iPhone 7;
- iPhone 6s Plus;
- iPhone 6s;
- And the iPhone SE model.

There's a pretty long list of Apple phone models coming out for the new OS than ever before. Additionally, if this is the case, the update may also affect the 7th generation iPod Touch media player.

However, the same cannot be said about tablet computers. The report adds that the debut is in a couple of months, again according to rumors, the iPadOS 14 system may bypass the model iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 (that is, support for tablets with Apple chips A8X and A8). For iPadOS 14, users can only assume the following list:

9.7 inch iPad Pro;
- 10.5-inch iPad Pro;
- 11-inch iPad Pro;
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro;
- iPad Air 3rd generation;
- iPad 5th generation;
- iPad 6th generation;
- iPad 7th generation;
- And the model iPad Mini 5th generation.

The list may be replenished, according to rumors, with an upcoming version of the iPad Pro 5G tablet.

In 2019, with the release of iOS 13, the popular iPhone 5s model in Russia “found itself without support.” The smartphone has received six major updates to the mobile operating system throughout its life.

Considering that the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S were the last iPhone models with headphone jacks, many Apple smartphone users preferred to hold on to their old iPhones. So if you're still using a 2015 iPhone, you can probably breathe easy. A new rumor claims that iOS 14 will be compatible with original iPhone 6S and iPhone SE.

There is no obvious answer to the question of which system is the most successful. Two monsters in the communication technology market - Symbian and Android.

Symbian or Android: characteristics

First of all, it should be noted that many people are confused about the concepts. Symbian and Androir are not phone models. These are operating systems for communicators and smartphones. So you can absolutely two different models phones install the same operating systems.

Symbian

The main advantage of the Symbian platform is its extensive functions for working with multimedia files. Let's say, phones running Symbian will take much better photographs than phones running Android based. Various applications for working with images, videos, music are developed in great detail in operating system Symbian. This helps the user fully enjoy the capabilities of their smartphone. Thus, Symbian is such a “creative” operating system.

Android

Android smartphones are designed for those people who spend all their time free time on the Internet. The most important Android advantage- this is close integration with numerous Google services. By purchasing an Android phone, a person gets access to services such as mail, Google Talk, maps and documents. The main disadvantage when comparing Symbian and Android is the poor implementation of the functions of the phone itself. IN in this case, the user may face serious problems during the most ordinary calls. And another important disadvantage of Android is its small energy reserve. Your phone battery drains very quickly if you are constantly on the Internet.

Also, there are phones on a closed platform. The user will not be able to install various applications downloaded from the Internet, but in exchange he will receive a stable and reliable device. That is a very good phone.

Thus, many still give their preference to Symbian-based phones, since these phones are more reliable. Which is better, Symbian or Android? How many people, so many opinions. It is better to try all the options, after which you will definitely determine what is right for you.
