I was gonna ask Santa for a smart phone. I'm trying to decide between the IOS and Android operating systems. I want to run Csound on it. I'm interested in Android because I might want to write my own mobile software in Java. However, I heard that the IOS has more music software than Android does. I should be able to learn how to write software for the IOS too. I want to know which phone has got the best media player so that I can listen to different songs in different file formats. I don't need any movies or games on my phone. I just want it to be my music phone. One more thing that I want to know is the comparison of Csound on both operating systems. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/IOS-vs-Android-tp5717998.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I'd lean towards Android myself. It's more open so it will most likely support more file formats when it comes to listening to tunes. I have the Samsung S3. I find it a little large but it works fine and plays Csound apps without any problem. On top of that a student of mine has been working away on updating Csoundo for Processing on Android. Early signs are promising. We can now write a processing sketch which makes use of Csoundo on a PC, tweak it until we're happy it's working fine, plug in a phone, and hit 'send to device'. The app appears in your apps folder and you're ready to go. Simple as that. It's pretty neat. Actually, playing with it is taking up way too much of my time! I'm hoping he'll get it completed in time or Christmas! |

Although I am a Mac fan, I decided for a Sony Android tablet. I want to develop stuff for it and on IOS you need to pay Apple 100 bucks every year just to upload your own written software. Glad to see Csound running on Android!

According to the Wikipedia, Android is open-source while iOS is closed with open-source components. This question might be off topic but what is a kernel and why should they concern me? -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/IOS-vs-Android-tp5717998p5718005.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

| The kernel is the program that decides how other programs can interact with the hardware. It is the main process that launches other programs. It is the program that decides which programs get to use which of your computer's resources. When one says "this computer is running Linux" vs. "this computer is running Windows" or "this computer is running MacOS", the difference you are describing is which kernel has booted on the CPU at allocates its resources. Most compiled programs are compiled for a specific family of kernel, and all kernels are compiled for a specific hardware.
