Unlike Apple which brought its iPhone more than two years back, it is still early times for Android and it has not seen actual traction. Today Android constitutes way lesser market share than Apple. However Android could soon be among the most popular mobile OS platforms in the world.
Google Android is a complete software system which can be adopted to mobile devices like cell phones, PDAs etc. It is developed by a consortium of many leading players in the consumer electronic segment such as Google, HTC, Intel, LG, Motorola, Samsung and many others. Leaning back in one’s best ergonomic chair will allow one to loosen up. The Android basically is a software podium and an operating mechanism especially for mobile devices, which is developed by Google. It permits developers to write a managed code in a language that resembles Java, and it utilizes Java libraries that are developed by Google.
Their latest Android, version 1.5 has been nicknamed Cupcake and will be running the new Motorola DEXT. Is this something to look forward to? Definitely; with the current focus of mobile phones being connectivity, no one knows connectivity better than the folks at Google. One such Google adventure is the Android OS, which runs on a Linux-based platform and is open-source, and is also well placed to hit the handheld market in a big way. Android Inc. was acquired by Google in 2005, and that is why rumours surfaced about their incursion into the cell phone sector. The Android was almost an unknown quantity outside of Google HQ, and the only thing that was known was that they (Google) had developed some cell phone software.
It seems only yesterday Google released its beta version of Google Chrome the latest addition to Web Browsers with the hypnotic tag line “One bar for everything.” The dust on this latest addition to the Google product line has barely even settled and yet Google have done it again with their G1 handset released on 23rd September by T-Mobile. In fact just going through the list of applications made for android is enough to make people realize that Android has the potential to overthrow the leader in few years if not earlier. Getting some free anger management help can always be positive. A lot of people are clueless about technology. And while it pays to be blissfully ignorant in some cases, most times it doesn’t. Android enabled phones aren’t phones that can only be utilized if a robot says so (I’m sure someone in the world thought that).
