Abstract: A method for estimating mobile device performance is provided. The method includes accessing device information, application information and usage information from a plurality of mobile devices and receiving a user selection that indicates a type of mobile device and one or more applications. The method includes determining an impact the one or more applications cause to the selected type of mobile device, in terms of resources of the selected type of mobile device, based on the user selection and based on the device information, application information and usage information from the plurality of mobile devices. The method includes communicating information about the impact, in terms of the resources of the selected type of mobile device. A computer readable media and a system are also provided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for synchronizing mobile computing platforms may include (1) identifying a set of applications installed on a mobile computing platform, (2) detecting a request from an additional mobile computing platform to synchronize the additional mobile computing platform and the mobile computing platform with respect to the set of applications, and then (3) synchronizing the additional mobile computing platform and the mobile computing platform with respect to the set of applications by (a) querying an application-matching engine to determine an equivalent set of applications that corresponds to the set of applications on the additional mobile computing platform and then (b) directing the additional mobile computing platform to download the equivalent set of applications. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
