(1.6L 4-cyl. 5-speed Manual)
1990 Mazda 323 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
I am currently getting 40 mpg combined driving, and have logged in 54 mpg on a highway trip. The dealership in Ft. Worth said this car is in great shape and is a pocket rocket off the line. Interior needs revamping, seats, top-liner and such. I love this car and have had it since 1990. Everyone at work laughs at me but I pass them by at the gas station and laugh at them.

Got this car from my uncle who is absolutely horrible with cars. Even so it has managed to last this long. With a sad heart I will be selling it to junk yard soon. It is just not worth the money I would have to pay to fix it. Overall an excellent car. Not very spacious. Definitely not a car for family trips (especially if you have a car seat). Excellent MPG. At the minimum I get 25 in town and 30 on the road, however I have managed to get 40 MPG on a long highway trip. Two thumbs up.

I bought this little car for $600 dollars. Now I can't even put a price on it. Mechanically, it's perfect. Small motor, lots of room under the hood to work, most of the parts are cheap and relatively easy to find, and the engine is indestructible! (Knock on wood...)The only issues I have had to deal with were normal suspension/steering wear. But what do you want out of a 90! This little car just hit 259,000 miles. I swear to god! The best part was when I took it for e-check, (emissions test) the worker thought I cheated! The Mazda�s results were better than some of the new cars! If you own one keep it. If you find one for sale buy it! It's to worth every penny have a good reliable "beater".

I have had my car for almost five years now. A very nice and reliable car. I recently drove it for over 1000 miles trip without any problem. None of my friends was expecting it to make it but it did. It's my little baby. Love it so much. Used it for pizza delivery before and still working very well. Never gave me any hard time except regular maintenance.

I purchased my little 323 6 and 1/2 years ago. It had about 160,000
kilometers on (over 100k miles if you prefer). I had expected to get a year out
of it. Nothing except regular maintanance. This little bomb still looks like it
just came out of show room - after all these Canadian winters. In addition it
still gets about 45 mpg (imperial gallon)....... an absolute gem.... It is the
first Japanese car that I have ever owned and it will not the last. The concern
I have about new Mazdas is the amount of Ford content..... my mechanic
says they over built these 323's and I tend to believe him...

It's really not!
It's Gundrak, yes it's currently the lowest population for the Oceanic servers but it's the small town feel it has which makes it a good little server.
Please stop ragging on the server - it's not as bad as people think it is.
Want to freely quest or do things in the world without getting ganked repeatedly? Or farm those items or rares? Whether or not I am the only one who thinks being on a low population server is good, idk.
Both factions have the regulars and small communities - it's great and I absolutely love the server.. it's not about population it's about the people who are there that make it a nice place to be.
For anyone who might be thinking of trying out a new server or making an alt etc etc, I can almost guarantee you - you won't be disappointed. Gundrak isn't floating with players and if you enjoy some peace and quiet then it might be a home for you.
I understand it might not be everybody's cup of tea but you don't know until you try it out
(and no I'm not trying to make people play on the server! Just voicing my opinion!)
Throwing my opinion out there to hopefully get players to stop giving Gundrak a hard time and labeling it as a bad server due to population.

Put a toon on that server in Horde trade last night to check it out, asked if anyone was awake and wanted to talk, 0 response, whereas on most servers even if I ask if anyone nice is online, I will at least get a "no. no log out" lol. Gundrak is completely dead.
Depends on what time you tried tbh.
I'm Horde there but Alliance is more dominant. Also asking if there is anyone nice online usually triggers some sort of troll response (no matter what server it is ><)
I have alts on Gundrak and I think the other post is missing the point.
People go there BECAUSE it is quiet. Personally, I go there to make gold.
All servers have their value. This idea that only high population servers offer value is short sighted and ridiculous. Especially considering the game is moving away from server based play.
If people want a place to get away from nagging guildies, to hunt for pets or to track down mounts and pets etc, then Gundrak is the place to do it.
I have alts on Gundrak and I think the other post is missing the point.
Hi Aislinge :) I'll pretty much say you have it spot on. I haven't had any issues with CRZ if I am hunting for a particular pet, rare etc etc. Gundrak has a great little community and I'm glad I am apart of it!
Doesn't CRZ pretty much negate all the productivity and efficiency points?
Actually, no because CRZ only kicks in in particular zones and at particular times. When pets are sometimes spread across levels from 1-25, if you're more interested in chasing a rare and a particular combo rather than the level, this can be of advantage.
Other advantages are a higher rate of return on AH items, access to a non-competitive BMAH, apparent reduced competition for rare spawns (I seem to have far better luck on Gundrak than on Dath tbh) plus just overall less noise.
Don't get me wrong, Dath is hardly a head case server, but I've also got toons on the high pop servers and sometimes, you just want to do your own thing, still be productive, still be able to contribute to those other toons on the other servers without people nattering in trade or in say all day :)
Other advantages are a higher rate of return on AH items, access to a non-competitive BMAH, apparent reduced competition for rare spawns (I seem to have far better luck on Gundrak than on Dath tbh) plus just overall less noise.
This. Exactly this.
STAY up there!
90 Draenei Shaman
Gundrak use to have so many trolls.... I feel so lonely =(
Despite my name which has no relation whatsoever lol
I haven't seen many trolls around tbh that or I just don't pay much attention to trade chat when I'm actually in trade.
There's the good, the bad and the ugly with every server :P
The usual Renigade even he has settled down a bit lol.
All in all it's a nice place to be and I'll never move from it unless Blizzard actually decide to do a server merge (then I just hope we don't end up with a heap of trolls..)
Edited by Terriblelol on 6/9/2013 8:20 AM PDT
Was fun out in Durotar earlier Shamknight :P
With the upcoming feature of "Virtual Realms" hopefully the lower population PvP servers get put together. I assume this will be the case since the lowest population for Oceanic are in fact PvP.
90 Troll Warlock
shamknight ! ure the guy keep coming horde shrine ! damn u !
Judging a server based on trolling general chat is such a good way to determine it's liveliness.
Having said that Gundrak is quiet, yes. It is the library of the oceanic selections.
If you want to RBG then don't come to Gundrak is my only advice.
90 Blood Elf Paladin
Gundrak IS bad, it always has been, but I wouldn't have it any other way. <3
It's the back alley of servers where I get my regular hit of WoW.
I remember the days of gundrak. The streets of stormwind Empty auction house silent.
I remember picking herbs and mining ore and making the profit margin like 160% higher than what the average is
stuff sold... but there were not even enough people to buy all of it. kept having to put it back in the ah for 48 hours

It will probably be like most of their other beers that are a watered down version of what they claim. See shocktop and Budweiser American Ale.
Primary: All grain pale ale, Pliny The Elder clone
Bottled:Double Noogie IPA, Amber Ale
Kegged: Brewcraft Dead Guy kit,Apfelwein, Raspberry wheat beer
Probably make it 4.1% and triple hop it.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I'll give the Michelob line a little bit of credit. Their beers are slightly less watered down than the Bud/BL lines. I'll probably give it a try when it comes out.
I'll try it, but I'm not expecting too much.
The Michelob "craft" beers have always left me disappointed. They are very lowest common denomonator tasting, devoid of any strong flavors that typify any particular style.

Lou Gehrig
Lou Gehrig (Louis Gehrig) (gâr´Ĭg), 1903–41, American baseball player, b. New York City. He studied and played baseball at Columbia, where he was spotted by a scout for the New York Yankees. As the team's first baseman (1925–39), Gehrig played in 2,130 consecutive league games (setting a record that stood until 1995, when it was broken by Cal Ripken, Jr.), batted .361 in seven World Series, and broke many other major-league records. The
"Iron Horse,"
as he was known to admirers, had a lifetime batting average of .340, and his 493 home runs rank him among the game's best. He four times won the Most Valuable Player award. Stricken by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a rare type of paralysis since commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, Gehrig retired from baseball in 1939 and served (1940–41) as a parole commissioner in New York City. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

Grow your own mushrooms?
I've been following this site on FB and I'm intrigued by this idea. Has anyone done this? Does anybody think it's even possible to do in this environment?
Here is a link that might be useful: growing mushrooms
Yeah man ... I grow my own ...
Just kidding. But a friend in college ("Mushroom Diane" we called her) grew edible mushrooms in her kitchen, and based on her behavior, we suspected she grew other kinds of mushrooms as well.
This was years ago, so I don't remember all the details, but I seem to recall she had ordered a sponge or brick-like thing from a Pacific NW grower, which was inoculated with the spores from edible tree mushrooms.
She just dampened it and kept it in a dark location (I think inside her oven, or maybe her opium den) and the sponge/brick kept producing mushrooms which she'd pick periodically. So it definitely can be done here.
Well, tommy, I would think they would grow here. We have them regularly coming up in the horse pens in the cooler months. Of course, not sure if those are edible but surely there must be some to grow here with appropriate humidity (like in a greenhouse). I would love to do this too. Hope someone can advise a good resource/reference for this.
If it's humidity they want, heaven knows there's enough to go around! Kidding, but I'm guessing the heat is the biggest obstacle. I found this Q&A about growing 'shrooms in TX. I haven't clicked on the link, but I'm going to read it in hopes of finding some that will grow here.
Here is a link that might be useful: mushrooms in hot arid climes

Luke chapter21,verse7-36
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
7 So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?"
8 And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them. 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. 13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. 14 Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. 18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19 By your patience possess your souls.
The Destruction of Jerusalem
20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
The Coming of the Son of Man
25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."
The Parable of the Fig Tree
29 Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
The Importance of Watching
34 "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy[c] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Hailing from oft-overlooked Kalamazoo, Michigan, the band originally known as The Ancient changed their name to Winterus and released this new full-length studio album, "In Carbon Mysticism."
The album is an intriguing exploration of some of the farther corners of common territory between black and death metal. While not exactly revolutionary on either count, Winterus manages to cover a curious bit of ground through a combination of intricate layering and deceptively simple progressions.
Oh, the split EP. Some of you, particularly the punk fans among you, will also recognize this gimmick as a "Versus" album, where two bands split the tracks and try to bring their best guns to bear. I've always tried to picture a split EP like some kind of heavy metal Sharks/Jets West Side Story knife fight, but…wait, what? More contemporary reference? What the hell do kids watch these days? Fine, I've always tried to picture it like a "Stomp the Yard" style showdown.
It actually takes several listenings of "Relentless, Reckless Forever" to appreciate everything that's going on. That said, if the listener has the patience to get over the initial confusion of what he or she is hearing, the album's petals will unfold into a blooming heavy metal flower.
In Part 1 of our conversation with Bruce Somers and Free Dominguez of the resurgent Kidneythieves, we spoke about places the band had been and what it took to get to this point. Now, the topic turns to where the band goes from here. With the "Invisible Plan" EP quickly coming together, we talk about the new music, the emotions of going out on the road, working with KMFDM, and naturally, the band's favorite horror films.
If "Stand Up and Fight" can't make you smile at least a little, you're taking yourself way too seriously.
Turisas manages to triumph valiantly on this new album through a combination of gigantic attitude, sense of the moment, dramatic construction and no small amount of rock and roll sensibility.
Naturally, you as the reader clicked on this article to see what I thought about the Orphaned Land album "The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR." You probably are curious if the music is crisp, if the riffs are edgy, if the Israeli metal band can keep pace with their counterparts in the rest of the world.
Here's a brief smattering of things to catch you all up on!
--In response to a leak of their new album "Wasting Light," the Foo Fighters have decided to stream the entire new effort on their website. Dave Grohl was seen to say on Twitter: "Leak ? Rad. Was starting to think no one cared. Our version sounds better." "Wasting Light" officially drops April 12th.
In 2009, I remember telling people that the cover art for Blackguard's album "Profugus Mortis" was a near perfect representation of the music contained on the album; a flying canoe full of colonial-era drunkards being chased by an apparently clumsy demon. That picture of whimsy and imagination was curried from the cuts on "Profugus Mortis." If that was the case then, then the cover art for Blackguard's new album "Firefight," is equally representative of the music contained within. The dark, blasted, cratered landscape depicted is marked only with a single city on a rise.
With the release of "Zerospace" in 2002, there was no hotter industrial band than the Kidneythieves. Shortly thereafter, the two-person troupe of singer/lyricist Free Dominguez and one-man-band Bruce Somers went on hiatus. In 2007, the band announced they were back in action and furiously writing songs, which culminated in the summer of 2010's triumphant return and the powerful album "Trypt0fanatic." Now back in the studio and recording their upcoming EP "Invisible Plan," the duo is working feverishly and putting out the same hard-charging, electronically influenced music they became known for almost a decade ago. Taking a moment off from their recording, Bruce and Free were generous enough to sit down and talk about what's new with the band, what it's like to be back, and how they ended up on the soundtrack of a Final Fantasy game.
Wie findest du die neues Musik von Deadlock? Ich finde sie toll!
German metallers Deadlock have ventured down a number of different paths over their career, with varying results. They've experimented with rap, techno, clean and scream vocals, and even a saxophone. With new album "Bizarro World," we see the band settle into a sound and attitude that is a good fit for them.

BER on Red Bell?
I am 99.9% sure this is BER on my sweet red bell, but not sure what is causing it. I had 2 very large, fantastic peppers, but then the next 4-5 all started developing like what you see in the pics. I try to maintain even watering, but possible I could be letting them get too dry and then over watering. We also had a period where we got rain like every day for almost two weeks a while back, which is rare for this area (MS).
I had also been using Miracle Grow, which I read could contribute to them not taking up Calcium as effectively. Any ideas? ANd if not Miracle Grow, what is a good fertilizer i could be using for both my peppers in container and tomatoes in my raised bed?
I have been having good luck using small doses of calcium nitrate . BER can be caused by too much or too little water, both will do it. Unable to control mother nature, or even my vacation schedule, I have wound up with both extremes. No BER, but many have yet to produce fruit, so it still may be a problem. I'm even growing a paste and they look good!
My thinking is if the plants lose the ability to absorb calcium, well they are starting off saturated with calcium, due to a small weekly dose (1/4 tsp).
One plant has started to produce, tomatoes are for sauce, variety is Russo Sicilian Togetta

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' GM Kevin Towers faces decision when Daniel Hudson returns
Arizona Diamondbacks' right-hander Daniel Hudson pitched six innings in an extended spring training game at Salt River Fields Wednesday, and judging from his Twitter account, things went pretty well.
His general manager agrees.
"(Hudson) is probably going to go on a rehab (assignment), probably to Mobile next week some time, if he feels good tomorrow," Kevin Towers told Doug & Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Wednesday. "We'll wait and check on him again tomorrow, but if there's no hiccups and the arm feels good, he'll probably have at least a start or two in Double-A there."
Hudson threw 74 pitches against the Giants' minor leaguers Wednesday, with 54 going for strikes. He allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out three and walking one.
His gradual return to health means he's getting closer to a return to the Majors, where he hasn't pitched since last June 26. And that means Towers will face a big decision when Hudson's ready to return.
"We'll have to figure out what we do," Towers said. "At that point in time, hopefully all of our starters are throwing good and it makes it a tough decision, but it's nice to have the depth."

eBook Reader for Android OS 1. Android eBook Reader: UI development 2. Android eBook Reader: Core Development Introduction The mobile phone, also known as cellular phone, has become one of the most successful inventions in the 20th century. In the late 90s, mobile phones became one of the major communication devices. In today's world, mobile communication is so integrated into our lives that most people feel uncomfortable without cell phones. Yesterday, the most popular functions of phones were calls and sending SMS. But today, the priorities are beginning to move slightly in a different direction. A modern phone is a multifunctional device that helps not only to communicate but also to learn, earn, have fun. And this was made possible particularly by the development of mobile applications. The reason for the development of mobile applications has become the development of mobile operating systems (OS). One of the most popular Operating Systems is Android OS. 36% of all smartphones are using Android OS. Android OS in an open source operating system, which makes easier to develop applications. 60% of applications in Google Android Market are free. Most popular applications are eBook readers. An eBook is an electronic version of a traditional print book that can be read by using electronic devices (personal or tablet computers, mobile phones etc.). For reading eBooks there are needed an eBook Reader applications for appropriate devices. There is a huge number of such applications in the market with their advantages and disadvantages. Abstract The propose of this project is to make a research of existing eBook Reader applications, identify their weaknesses and strengths, study open source codes and create an application that would have all possible advantages of already existing ones, and avoid as more disadvantages as possible. As it was mentioned Android is the leader of the smartphones market due to that fact the application would be created for Android OS. Android eBook Reader: UI development The main purpose of the project is to be user friendly. Thus it will have different features: zooming, page turning animations, bookmark option and displaying reading progress. Zooming will be done in 2 ways, using menu button and by touching. Page turning will be done vertically and horizontally with animations, again in two ways using button or by touching. Bookmark option will give the opportunity to save any state user wants and will be implemented again in two ways as above. Displaying progress will be animated, it will show reading progress and also will add new opportunity for switching pages. It will show zooming percentage. Thus all changes and current states will be displayed on progress bar. All needed features may be done in different ways which makes the application easy to manipulate for users. Android eBook Reader: Core Development One of the major problems of all eReader applications is to support book formats. This application will support PDF, DOC/DOCX, HTML and XML formats. It would have one universal interface for reading these formats and under that interface there will be separate parsers for each format. This will make application easy to use, users don't need to care about choosing formats for this application or use another application for parsing files to needed format. Thus this application will become universal eBook reader. Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................... Error!

History of mobile application development In this chapter we will talk about mobile phones' development, mobile operating systems, will compare some mobile OSs and describe the reasons of choosing Android OS. 1.1 History of mobile phones Mobile phones are now common among the masses and have become an important means of communication. There was once a time when it was afforded only by the rich, but today the cell phone prices are so cheap that we can rarely find a person without a cell phone in hand. As a result of which the mobile phones have outnumbered the land line phones. Now, mobile phone technology increasingly helps business people because of the capability of forwarding calls from your office phone to your mobile phone. Mobile phones have evolved to high-tech devices where we can take a photo, create ringtones, and browse the internet. We can now hardly imagine the world without the use of mobile phones as it is much difficult to handle personal and business needs without one. We now also have many advantages with contract phones which help us manage our mobile phone bills based on our usage. We use them every day, but how often do we think about how cell phones came to be? It almost seems as if cell phones appeared out of nowhere. One minute we saw rich guys in the 80s lugging around huge, clunky mobile phones, and the next we had a wide assortment of sleeker cellphones at our disposal. Cell phone companies started popping up like blades of grass. Today, it's unhead of to not have a cell phone. We use cell phones in just about every aspect of life---for emergencies, work, and play. Nowadays, people would rather send a cellular text message instead of talking on the phone. So how did we get here? Here is a little history about cell phone technology. The history of the cellular phone from its humble beginnings as a novelty item to an everyday necessity is a fascinating journey. From that first car battery sized cell phone produced in 1980's to the sleek modern devices that have become the industry standard. Here is a timeline of mobile phone evolution. Timeline 1947 Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young, in association with Bell Labs proposed the first hexagonal cells for mobile phones. Philip Porter also of Bell Labs was the first to propose a system utilizing cell towers at the corners of the hexagons rather than at the centers. These towers would have directional antennae that would transmit in three directions. Unfortunately these innovations would not have immediate impact until the frequency range spectrum could be increased. 1968 The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation that limited radio-spectrum frequencies was increased and allowed research into creating better connections. Prior to this the number of simultaneous conversations in a service area was severely limited. The FCC in cooperation with AT&T and Bell Towers established the infrastructure of broadcast towers that allow modern cell phones to broadcast today. 1973 was the year that Martin Cooper working for Motorola used the idea of the car phone and other associated technology that was needed to make cellular phones possible. Cooper was an electrical engineer educated at the Institute of Technology in Illinois. He began his career at Motorola in 1954, and started out working on handheld police radios. 1984 the first cellular phones; the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, were made commercially available. The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X a massive phone 13 inches long and 3.5 inches wide and 1.75 inches thick. Because of its size and shape it was nicknamed the brick. Back when phones were the size and weight of a car battery and they were more expensive than the average color TV. The early cellular technology carried with it many health hazards. Cellular phones give off electromagnetic energy which is a non-ionizing form of radiation. This is similar to the radiation produced during thunder storms. This generation of mobile phones is known as the 1G or first generation of mobile phones. 1990's Mobile phones from the early 1990's are considered to be the second generation of mobile phones (2G). The difference between 1G and 2G technology is that 1G are analog networks and 2G are digital networks. This enabled quicker network signalling and increased the call quality. The size and weight of the phones began to diminish. As advances in battery technology, and more energy efficient electronics were made phones continued to shrink making the package more appealing for consumers. With these new innovations to the mobile phones the popularity of mobile phones soared. 2G technology also brought new features to mobile phones such as SMS and email 2000's shortly after the introduction of second generation technology another technological advance was made to third generation technology. Movement was made towards standardizing a single worldwide cellular standard. The introduction of additional multimedia features was incorporated into phones. Email, internet, and data transfer became a standard feature. The future As the limitation of the 3G, people are try to make new generation of mobile communication, this is the 4th generation. This 4G system is more reliable. Nowadays, some companies have started developing the 4G communication system, this technology can have a high uplink rate up to 200Mbps, more data can transfer in the mobile phone. So the 4G mobile can have more function such as work as the television. Some telecommunication companies claimed that they would applied this 4G system to the business and it will bring more convenience to people. With the rapid development of mobile technologies, have begun to develop mobile operating systems. 1.2 History of mobile OS development A mobile operating system, also called a mobile OS, is an operating system that is specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices. Much like the Linux or Windows operating system controls your desktop or laptop computer, a mobile operating system is the software platform on top of which other programs can run on mobile devices. The operating system is responsible for determining the functions and features available on your device, such as thumbwheel, keyboards, WAP, synchronization with applications, email, text messaging and more. The mobile OS will also determine which third-party applications can be used on our device. Choosing the right mobile platform is extremely important which in turn would help you in the primary use of the handheld. There are numerous operating systems (OS) of handhelds in the market, like Blackberry OS, Android, Windows Mobile, and Apple iOS. Each have their own specialties and have been developed keeping in mind certain sections of users. It has been observed that certain mobile applications also depend on the OS of a particular phone. If you are planning to use a specific app to shop from retailers online then it is always better to check whether it is compatible to be used with the OS of your handheld. Whether it is for mobile commerce or mobile ticketing, the same rule applies for all. Blackberry OS This brand has been the favorite for those who are executives and businessmen. Advantages: Compared to other brands, Blackberry mobiles allow users to use the device for two days at a stretch on a single charge. Thus proving its power efficient features of the Blackberry OS. The mobile platform of this brand is extremely secure, thus making it the favorite for businessmen. The push email experience is excellent amongst others. It provides easy accessibility from the moment you get to the main screen together with strong attachment support. The keyboard design is ideal for fast text entry irrespective of whether you are sending text messages or emails. Disadvantages: Blackberry App World does not come with a wide selection of apps. On top of that, premium programs are quite expensive. The browser is much slower compared to WebKit based browser on other branded phones like iPhones and Android. When it comes to QWERTY devices, the browser comes with small type. Unlike iTunes and Amazon MP3, Blackberry does not have any over-the-air music store for its users to download songs from. IOS Pros Easy to use: Yes. All of us have tried out the Apple products. Don't they offer us amazing experience while using? We immediately fall in love with how easy the iPhones are to navigate without loads of cranky options that would confuse the users. Unique Interface : Apple's iOS softwares provides the smart phones the unique interface everyone falls in love with. This offers the ultimate choice to choose iOS than any other software. Cohesive of Applications : you could find n number of applications for apple products because of its iOS. You will not be able to have the advantage of having these many applications for any smart phones than the ones containing iOS Tight integration with Social networking : nowadays who is not on facebook or twitter? Apart from these social networks, iOS provides the tight integration with all the possible big players of social networking websites. You could easily access your favorite social network in smartphones that uses iOS Sophisticated music experience : iOS is built for music lovers. Who doesn't love music anyway? Smartphones that is made of iOS software provides exceptional experience in listening to music. You will immediately fall in love with the sophisticated music experience it offers. Cons Lack of customization : Greatest disadvantage of using iOS integrated smartphones is the lack of customization option it provides. It would be heavens, if iOS softwares come with the advantage of customization according to users' needs. Petqa avelacnel!!! Android Android – Pros Free to customize – Android applications have easily catched up among techno geeks as well as ordinary individuals is because of its customization option. Since we are free to use the softwares according to our wishes and requirements, people love to use Android smartphones. Ability to use as a USB Storage – the greatest advantage of having an Android smartphone is you could use it as a USB storage device. This option is devoid in iOS smartphones. Mature platform – Android is a more matured platform comparing to all the other smartphone softwares in the market. Since it has been launched long time ago, android has reached the stage of more compact, complete software which can be easily customizable. Android – Cons Very unstable – Android software containing softwares are often hang or crash. Since it is very unstable while operating any complicated features or functions, it becomes a great disadvantage in using android smartphones. Inconsistency in application design–you could find an extreme inconsistency in application designs. This is also considered one of the main disadvantages of using android smartphones since instability and inconsistency in application design makes it difficult to use. Types of Mobile Operating Systems There are various types of MOS. When you purchase a mobile device the manufacturer will have chosen the operating system for that specific device. Among the various MOS here we discuss a few that are popular in market now. Symbian Symbian OS is the advanced, open operating system licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers.
