Android is a Linux-based mobile phone operating system developed by Google. Android
is unique because Google is actively developing the platform but giving
it away for free to hardware manufacturers and phone carriers who want
to use Android on their devices.
Android
is an exciting platform for consumers and developers. It is the
philosophical opposite of the iPhone in many ways. Where the iPhone
tries to create the best user experience by restricting hardware and
software standards, Android tries to insure it by opening up as much of
the operating system as possible.
This is both good and bad.
Fragmented versions of Android may provide a unique user experience, but
they also mean fewer users per variation. That means it's harder to
support for app developers, accessory makers, and technology writers
(ahem). Because each Android upgrade must be modified for the specific
hardware and user interface upgrades of each device, that also means it
takes longer for modified Android phones to receive updates.
Fragmentation
issues aside, Android is a robust platform that boasts some of the
fastest and most amazing phones and tablets on the market.
