A few words about Android

Android isn't just for cell phones anymore, which means that there will come a day when Android is more important than the iPhone, more important than Windows, and more important than any one device. Android is an open source operating system created by Google for primary use on smartphones, and is currently in use on many cell phones such as the Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Eris, the HTC Hero, the HTC Desire, the MyTouch 3G Slide, and the Dell Streak.

Recently there is been a developer release of the Android operating system for use on the x86 architecture, which will eventually allow Android to be ported to tablets, netbooks and even onto laptops and desktops, as well as onto many other devices, such as set-top boxes, video game systems, home control systems and other things not even thought of yet. And many experts believe that this would be ported with the development of 'Mee' it will be the so-to-say 'a lifter'.

Android is written in Java on a modified version of the Linux kernel. Because of its open architecture, it is easy for developers to build applications to run on the Android operating system. Unlike the Apple closed architecture, with its draconian gatekeepers, anyone capable of coding can write an application to run on Android. And if Google's rules are followed, that application will be made available to all Android users.

What that means to you is that if you want your cell phone to do something it doesn't currently do, and there isn't an Android application that does it, you have the ability to contract with a developer to have an application built that will allow your cell phone to do exactly what you want, though there are also developer groups who, if the idea is a great one, may take your project on in exchange for the ability to put their name on it and offer servicing and customization of that application, which is the way open source works.

Google Android is a platform for professionals, offering a wide range of options and many opportunities for development of high quality Android applications. And together with well developed and organized 'Mee' we can observe a lift of another significant browser making the process of Internet surfing more enjoyable.
