About Android

When Google joined the cellular phone market, they created Android, their first smartphone operating system. Based on Linux, the Android OS promises power, flexibility, and extendability.HTC was the first to introduce a device that will run the Android OS, the G1. Android is not only an OS but a software platform. This gives all cellular manufacturers the ability to build new device that can use Android.

The Android platform is completely open-source, allowing any developer to tap into its full power and create some pretty cool apps. Check out some of the winners of the Android Developer Challenge.

liveTexas Geez people, we sure are spoiled! Just look at how far Android has come. A completely new interface that's only a year + old and some are complaining about I/O? Google is building a Great Ecosystem for US so we don't have to run to Amazon or Netflix or Pandora. Just listen to yourselves and see how spoiled we've become. I/O was a Fantastic event for Devs... you know? The ones that make Android so Great? Slow down and enjoy the moment. Google has Plenty to give us in the coming months hardware-wise and software as well. Stop acting like spoiled brats and enjoy the Gift that Android is and will be for decades to come. Sure does beat being limited to e what one person says is good enough for all.That's My 2 cents. Chill.
