HTC One, Xperia Z, Galaxy Note 8.0, Grand Memo ZTE, Huawei Ascend P2, etc. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Regarding mobile operating systems, perhaps we missed the presence of Android and Blackberry, who attended in the previous congress. However, these absences were well used by <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Firefox OS,<\/span><\/strong> one of the important in the Congress, and we can find information about it, not only in its stand but also in the stands of Telef\u00f3nica, ZTE, and GeeksPhone. Also had his presence, but to a lesser extent, the mobile operating system <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">UBUNTU.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Firefox OS<\/span><\/strong> has signed an agreement with 17 mobile operators, including Telef\u00f3nica, who is going to launch the first devices <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">in summer 2013<\/span><\/strong> by the hand of the manufacturer ZTE, in Spain, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A new feature this year was the <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">NFC experience.<\/span><\/strong> We use our mobile phones to access the venue without having to show any additional identification and get information related to the conferences in several points of information prepared for <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/nfc-technology-based-solutions-for-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFC<\/a> devices. Attendees from a small group of countries could also use their mobile to pay within the enclosure, in restaurants. Unfortunately, Spanish attendees did not have that possibility.<\/p>\n<p>One area was devoted to the NFC experience where there were specific NFC stands like CaixaBank company, Telefonica, Gemalto, Visa, Assa Abloy, openTrends, etc. &#8230; Sony made available to participants, upon request, a device with NFC for using it during the four days of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the business customer solutions, the main trends were <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">BYOD<\/span><\/strong> (Bring Your Own Device) and <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">MDM<\/span><\/strong> (Mobile Device Management).
