Android Mania


Few months ago, I decided to buy a new  mobile. So as we normally do, I went for opinions , since then I am listening to the word ‘Android’.
I would say, Android mania all over. Get a mobile with Android Operation system and you will know what it is. Android delivers a complete set of software for mobile devices: an operating system, middleware and key mobile applications. (Middleware is sometimes called plumbing as it connects two applications and passes data between them).
Google usually refers to the Android OS as a software stack. Software stack means set of software subsystems or components needed to deliver a fully functional solution.
 Each layer of the stack groups together several programs that support specific operating system functions. Android is a Linux based open source operating system which has JAVA library.
There is a general thought that Google owns Android. But not just Google, there is Open Handset Alliance, a group of 65 technology and mobile companies including mobile operators, semiconductor companies, handset manufacturers; software companies commercialization companies who own Android.
The wonderful thing experienced on such Android mobiles is Android Apps.
 Generally   women spent lot of time in market, but if you are a techie person ,here is a market for you in your hand. This is the online software store developed  for Android devices. An application program called "Market" is preinstalled on most Android devices and allows users to browse. Android market- you will spend lot of time in surfing apps and using them. Find beautiful widgets , games etc. There are over 1,50,000 number of applications available in the  and many yet to come.
Android presents  open market place to the third party Android Application developers for instant publishing and feedback.

So Practically, there is no limit on the kind and number of Apps you can see on Android. Its creativity multiplied by huge array of developers. Interesting Idea, isn’t it?

Best thing is you can develop an App too. It’s not difficult. What you need is an Idea and some development skills. Some Indian small firms have already joined the party and earning there Millions.
Hope to see your application in Market soon.
