The short history of computing machines has witnessed some major events, which forever transformed our usage of technology. From the first massive main frames to the democratization of personal computers, and then the interconnection of networks. Mobility is the next revolution. Like the primitive soup, all the ingredients are now gathered: an ubiquitous network, new social, professional and industrial usages, a powerful technology. A new period of innovation is blooming right now in front of our eyes. We can fear it or embrace it, but it is here, for good!
Today's mobile devices are the product of only a few years of evolution, from the first transportable phones to the new tiny high-tech monsters we have in our pocket. The technological time scale is definitely not the same as the human one.
Only a few years ago, surfing on the successful wave of its musical devices, Apple and its founder Steve Jobs combined the right hardware and the right software at the right time not only to satisfy our needs, but to create new ones. We are now facing a new ecosystem looking for a balance between iOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, WebOS, and more importantly Android! The appetite of a new market could not let Google apathetic. Standing on the shoulder of this giant Internet, Android came into the show as the best alternative to the well established iPhones and other iPads. And it is quickly becoming the number one.
In this modern Eldorado, new usages or technically speaking, applications ( activities , if you already are an Android adept) still have to be invented. This is the mobile challenge. And the dematerialized country of Android is the perfect place to look for. Android is (mostly) an open source operating system now supported by a large panel of mobile device manufacturers.
Portability among hardware and adaptability to the constrained resources of mobile devices: this is the real essence of the mobile challenge from a technical perspective. With Android, ones has to deal with multiple screen resolutions, various CPU and GPU speed or capabilities, memory limitations, and so on, which are not topics specific to this Linux-based system, (that is, Android) but can particularly be incommoding.
