About Android

When Google joined the cellular phone market, they created Android, their first smartphone operating system. Based on Linux, the Android OS promises power, flexibility, and extendability.HTC was the first to introduce a device that will run the Android OS, the G1. Android is not only an OS but a software platform. This gives all cellular manufacturers the ability to build new device that can use Android.

The Android platform is completely open-source, allowing any developer to tap into its full power and create some pretty cool apps. Check out some of the winners of the Android Developer Challenge.

"It's day 25 of the 30 day Galaxy S 4 Challenge. What do you think of the newest member of the Galaxy?"

Daniel McCarthy Really wish they'd offer a way to go back to AOSP for the "enthusiasts" but the GS4 is a great phone, regardless of whether or not I like the software (I'm not the "average user").

Ivan Villegas I will getting a Samsung Galaxy S4 this Thurday!!

Vishant Khunti While the Galaxy S4 is a good phone, the S3 was a fantastic phone. S4 has some legit competition coming up, not just with the HTC One or the Lumia 920.

Brian Jones Root the phone & it should get rid of any lag check out www.qbking77.com for help on the best root for the S4

Stephen Lauterbach I've activated several and played with one enough to be able to say that the software is glitchy at best and the quality of the phones build leaves a lot to be desired. When you have some real quality phones on the market like the HTC One, Nokia 920, and of course the benchmark of quality build the iPhone 5, you know that Samsung is taking a much lower quality road and I think people will realize this soon and start to move more to the afore mentioned quality phones. I own all three of these phones and I can say that I'd buy them all again. I've also owned several Samsung Galaxy phones and the only one I would own again is the Galaxy Nexus, but that is because it's a pure android device and it's priced right.
