Android Applications The Future Is Android

How It Begin

Android (from its former owner Android, Inc.) is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input.

Why Android Got Fame

The Android operating system caters to a wider audience, all from one-stop shop – The Google Play Store. The bookworms can read and collect a whole range e-books on their smartphones, the hard-core gamers find a plethora of applications to indulge in, stream and watch videos off the Internet on your phone if you’re a couch potato and complete important official work on the move with Office applications. There’s more than enough for everyone!

Open Source Project

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is an initiative created to guide development of the Android mobile platform. The Android platform consists of the operating system (OS), middleware and integral mobile applications.

What is the future of Android

Android fragmentation allows multiple versions of this operating system to run simultaneously on different devices. While you may have the latest version, an older mobile phone may not be able to update to the most recent Jelly Bean, which is probably the only drawback one comes across with this operating system. There are infinite opportunities this operating system has in the future, starting from Google Now – the feature you’d like to use first thing in the morning. Google Now tells you about the day’s weather, the traffic on the road, the places you could visit around your workplace when you need a break and a lot more! Though figures oscillate continuously, Android till date has an amazing 70% share in the operating system market globally.
