Developed by the Open Handset Alliance, Android provides Internet-style innovation and openness to mobile phones.
Android ™ offers a full range of software for mobile devices: The operating system, middleware and key mobile applications. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available.
Open
Android was designed from scratch to allow developers to create mobile applications that take full advantage of all of a phone can offer. It was built to be truly free. For example, an application can call all the phone functions, such as calls, send text messages or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more consistent experience for users. Android is built on open Linux Kernel. It also uses a custom virtual machine designed to optimize memory resources and equipment in a mobile environment. Android is open source, which can be greatly expanded to incorporate new technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to create innovative mobile applications.
All applications are created equal
Android does not differentiate between the phone and key applications, third-party applications. All can be built to have equal access to phone features provide users with a wide range of applications and services. Devices with built in Android platform, users can customize their phone to their interests. They can turn off the phone homescreen, the style dialer, or any other application. They can also check the phones to use their preferred application to handle the display of the photos View all the images.
Breaking the boundaries of the application
Android breaks down the barriers to creating new and innovative applications. For example, a developer to combine information from the Internet with information about mobile phone of a person - such as the user's contacts, calendar, or geographic location - to provide a more relevant user experience. With Android, a developer can create an application that allows users to see the location of their friends and be alerted when they are almost giving them a chance to connect.
The rapid application development and easy
Android provides access to a wide range of useful libraries and tools that can be used to build applications. For example, Android developers for the location of the device and allows devices to communicate with each other allows the rich peer-to-peer social applications. In addition, Android a complete set of tools that were built from the ground next to the platform for developers with high productivity and a thorough understanding of their applications.
