Android Operating System Q & A.

By Frank T. Newcrest


If you keep up with all of the latest cellular market news you already know that, as far as popularity is concerned, the Android OS is rapidly gaining on the iPhone and Blackberry OSes. This is partly because the Android OS is used in a wide variety of phones. This might also be because the operating system itself is constantly being worked on, upgraded and developed which makes it highly competitive against the other smart phone OSes that are on the market. Unlike the other two major competitors for smart phones (Blackberry and iPhone) the Android/Google phones are widely varied and come in a bunch of different styles and vary in the extensiveness of their software. Here are some great facts about the Android and Google phones that you might not yet know.

There are so many different types of cellular phones that use the Android OS, choosing among them can be quite difficult. The best information is that the Android phone and the Google phones are intelligent phones also known as smart phones! That?s right: the smart phone is no longer limited to the iPhone or the Blackberry! Here are a few more interesting facts about he Android OS.

This is exactly the type of article we love to write about. I think it's a good followup to our piece on spy on texts.

According to one website we found, Google is not actually the Android creator. We are well aware of the fact that most people credit Google with this. Some people even call them "Google phones" when they go shopping for them. From what we could find out, the actual creators of the Android OS are Rich Miner and Andy Rubin. It was actually invented in 2003 by these guys who then sold it to Google for a tidy profit. In spite of the 2003 purchase, Google decided to sit on the OS for a few years while it was further developed and improved and readied for the cellular market.

If you don't like the iPhone handset you are pretty much out of luck. If you aren't happy with your Blackberry headset you have a few options to choose from. If you decide that you don't like one of the handsets that uses the Android OS you have a lot of other options to choose from. If you like to have a wide variety of choices then you will want to stick with Google phones. You will have these choices because all of the major phone manufacturers are starting to adopt the Android OS for their phones so, no matter what kind of handset you like, you'll find a Google phone that fits it.

It is Android's multi-tasking ability and the fact that users can access more than one app at a time that makes the Android phone just as popular as the iPhone. With the iPhone you can only use one app at a time (though it is possible to use them at the same time as any or all of the phone's basic functions like phone calling, music playing and internet browsing). That illustrates pretty much the only multi-tasking the phone is capable of doing. An Android phone, on the other hand can run a Twitter app as well as a note taking app with no problems at all.

Don't believe anybody who tries to tell you that you can only listen to and buy music from your phone if you have an iPhone.

Choosing your next cellular phone used to be easy. You probably just accepted your free upgrade from your provider. Now you might be apt to choose your cellular provider based solely on the types of phones it will sell to you. The great news is that, because of the Android OS, you are able to have the smart phone you want no matter which provider you like the best. Isn't that just music to your ears?
