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.

Roger DeOliveira I might be getting old, but im all set. Facebook is turning into "come here daily and check out our new advertisements"....I never use twitter...im not "hip" to that, Tumblr seems full of emo kids that are crying for attention, and what ever happened to myspace? i dont know
 Dhun Patel
Dhun Patel There is good , bad , and ugly about this type of phone This will applie to teens more. It isn't the time yet we aren't in that generation yet. Doesn't have a good interface for Facebook , it is a big upgrade from the old version , it has to be fixed alittle .
 Sue Riot
Sue Riot Twitter would be good, Facebook is just filled with nonsense. But going by my web use, I think Tumblr phone would be most beneficial for me. LOL
