Android was designed as an open platform for software development. It is free and supported by a large community of developers. Android relies on the Linux kernel and uses the Dalvik virtual machine. It supports applications written in Java and a variety of media formats. Some advantages are customization options, large screen support, and notifications. Google acquired Android Inc. in 2005 and it is now developed as an open collaboration led by Google.

- 25. Conclusion • Android is a truly open, free development platform based on Linux and open source. Handset makers can use and customize the platform without paying a royalty. • A component-based architecture inspired by Internet mash- ups. Parts of one application can be used in another in ways not originally envisioned by the developer. can even replace built-in components with own improved versions. This will unleash a new round of creativity in the mobile space. • Android is open to all: industry, developers and users • Participating in many of the successful open source projects • Aims to be as easy to build for as the web. • Google Android is stepping into the next level of Mobile Internet
