1. Android & Android Phones

2. What is Android?
Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset
Alliance, led by Google.
Google financially backed the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., and
later purchased it in 2005. The unveiling of the Android distribution in 2007 was
announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of
86 hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to
advancing open standards for mobile devices. Google releases the Android
code as open-source, under the Apache License. The Android Open Source
Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development of
Android.

3. Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that
extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in a
customized version of Java. Apps can be downloaded from third-party sites or
through online stores such as Google Play (formerly Android Market), the app
store run by Google. In June 2012, there were more than 600,000 apps
available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded
from Google Play was 20 billion.
Android became the world’s leading Smartphone platform at the end of
2010. For the first quarter of 2012, Android had a 59% Smartphone market
share worldwide. At the half of 2012, there were 400 million devices activated
and 1 million activations per day. Analysts point to the advantage to Android of
being a multi-channel, multi-carrier OS.

4. What is an Android™ Phone?
An Android™ phone, sometimes called a Droid™ phone, is a mobile telephone
that uses the Google-developed Android™ operating system. This operating
system has become a popular option in recent years for so-called "smart
phones," because developers and manufacturers may freely customize it to
their specific needs. This customization means that different Android™ phones
can have widely varying user interfaces. Most smart phones — including those
using competing operating systems — offer similar overall capabilities,
however, including Internet browsing, personal information management, video
streaming, and access to a large repository of freeware and pay ware
applications.

5. On the technical side, an Android™

Android™ phones are considered
in some circles because of
the open source structure of the
of Android™ basic firmware. All developers, whether
professional or hobbyists, are encouraged to
Phones write programs and applications for the
operating system, and contribute to the
evolving Android™ project by submitting them
to Google's Play Store™, a closed source
application for Android™ phones. Users may
then choose to download and use the
applications on their phones by accessing the
application library via their handsets.

6. An Android™ phone can run multiple
applications at the same time in the
background, making multitasking easier.
This makes the functionality of the phone
more fluid than some competing platforms,
although the extent of this capability
depends on the hardware of the individual
phone. Some handsets use multicourse

processors, which are more useful for
"power users" who need their phones to run
multiple simultaneous operations.

security measures of locking the devices, which
would be a sham. Google Android OS is more than

blessing and a curse. On one hand, you
have a large number of phones to choose
from; on the other, it's easy to get
overwhelmed. The hype machine makes it
especially difficult, since everyone always

getting the newest and best phone. It's
about finding the best phone for you.

long and powerful spec lists as the ideal
phone, which isn't true either. Here are the
things you actually want to look at when
