“Why a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS”
In a pretty long article published on March 24th at “TheNextWeb”, /e/OS was lucky enough to be highlighted as a proof of “why a a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS”.
So “two OS is enough”. But why not “one OS is enough” in that case?
For apps developers, having to deal with both iOS+Android is real pain. They would really prefer one OS.
But there is a solution for this: use the technologies of the web to build mobile apps. That’s called “PWA”, “miniApps”… Standard technologies, not owned by X or Y. When you reach that point, then you can have 1,2,3… 5, 100 different OS. You don’t care: all apps will work. That would be possible, and we think it’s what’s going to happen.
