Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.
The unveiling of the Android platform on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 48 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free software and open source license. ( (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29).

Android can be installed on just about any hardware – this is the beauty of Android, and Linux. It will dominate the smart-phone market in years to come. Iphone, Microsoft’s CE, and Blackberry are all the end of their life-cycle.
