An operating system is making a history in the world of Mobile Phone OS Very Soon: Android

Android is the open source software for mobile phones it is led by Google (the famous giant search engine). Android is the new operating system that is in the market of symbian OS in the most popular Nokia devices. Android supports no central point failure. Android makes its entry on 5th November; 2007.Android includes middleware architecture and key applications and uses the modified version of Linux Kernel. Android first started with the name Android Inc. But it later purchased by Google and lately by Open Handset Alliance .It consists of pure java programming language and Google-developed libraries.

Android comes with very simple operating system that presumes with some basic operation that is very much needed for a mobile device .Its customizable means just like our own Linux open source that can edited by any company and they have the right to make powerful phones, that’s why it takes the advantage of being open to all. In the previous days it was not so much famous but as time goes by it becomes so good and easy to access for the developers, meaning its growth is just very much significant.







This is the logo of Android which is the new face of mobile operating system in the old and long lasting OS, Symbian. Many companies like SAMSUNG, HTC, MOTOROLA are depending on Android as its very humbly accepted by users. Android 1.5 which was based on Linux kernel 2.6.27(cupcake), then it comes with more customizable version 1.6(Donut) based on Linux kernel 2.6.29 and then it comes with 2.0/2.1(Eclair) based on Linux kernel 2.6.29 and last update is made with superb features consisting of :JIT compilers, Chromes V8 java script engine, Calendar Synchronisation, Wi-Fi technology, Adobe Flash 10 Support, voice Dialling and contact share with help of Bluetooth (A2DP 2.0) , Support for numeric and alpha numeric passwords, Browser application gets improved a lot, Especially what makes it special is its light but very new kind of look which gives us a concept and little more ease of handling.The Version is Android 2.2(Froyo) based on Linux Kernel 2.6.32


Android Version 2.2(Linux Kernel 2.6.32)


Nexus One runs on Android OS

It gives you the offer to make a search when you are in home screen or menu or in any functions except settings portion of a phone .It helps you to get the weather report on your handset .It supports 3G, it gets you to anywhere if you want to get the videos of YouTube you will get that in just one click. When you are applying any changes to your phone he OS never blinks for a moment so you are getting a constant view of your handset.

To me Android is going to be huge as because people are getting bored with the traditional display of Nokia devices that the same old wallpaper, theme customizations , some shortcuts you can get on the home screen from the very old concept they have applied in their Nokia N series that is still exists on their touch screen phones also. In that case Android being an open source will increase its market so soon and will make hype in the general public who normally thinks now a day when they want to buy a phone of Nokia and Samsung with the so called, old and fold OS.

Android market also offers applications to any phone running Android, much in the same vein as the i-Phone App store. The applications range from social games to business-oriented options and this range will continue to increase in the coming months. The success of Android market depends on how many phones is being shipped with this OS and as it will be shipped, it will be bought and developers will look into it and being attracted to it.
Very recently Android OS contained Smartphone got a second position among all Smartphone OS sold in U.S in the first quarter of 2010.Blackberry OS and i-OS ranked first and third respectively.

HTC and Samsung and Motorola which is in the list very recently are getting the Android OS in their handsets. That makes it look just amazing. So, my advice to those buyers who are the tech savvy and want to taste the new technology in their palm just go for Android phones. I didn’t use it till now as recently I have bought Nokia 5233which gives you very normal features which is available in a normal bar phone also the difference is the only touch. But my plan is to go for Android phone next year. So, just wait for some time to get more options in market for Smartphone.................Cheers to all for Android.......   

The list of Phones which consists of Android OS is:

1. Nexus One
2. Acer Liquid
3. Samsung Moment
4. Samsung Behold II
5. Motorola Droid
6. Motorola CLIQ
7. Samsung Spica
8. T-Mobile Pulse
