Android Mobile Platform

Although initially there were some rumors that Google would develop its own mobile phone as an alternative to iPhone, there was no official confirmation from Google about this thing. Instead, some time ago, Google decided to announce the launch of its mobile platforms, which will provide a base for a wide range of mobile terminals and will incorporate a range of facilities and offered services.

As it turned out some time ago, the platform is there, and it was officially launched under the name Android. The way it was designed and developed this platform is characteristic to the simplicity and professionalism with which Google has already accustomed the IT world.

Although many confuse Android with a mobile operating system, it’s not just that. Google Android is a mobile platform that includes several features:

-          Mobile operating system – based on the Linux operating system, with all the advantages of this on information security, reliability and performance

-          Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices

-          Development Framework, which allows reuse of software resources between applications

-          Integrated Web Browser based on the WebKit open-source engine

-          Graphics Library, which contains functions for both 2D and 3D graphics (OpenGL)

-          SQL support, with SQLite

-          Support for multimedia applications

-          Support for GSM, 3G, EDGE, Bluetooth and WiFi

-          Support for GPS system, video camera and accelerometer

It can be easily noticed that the functionalities offered by Android are multiple, surpassing any mobile operating system developed at the moment. All these features are supported by open source projects or GPL, which makes Android more easily accepted, both by its free price, and the possibility of development by developers worldwide.

It is this feature that will make Android popular very easily. Also, in order  to help popularize it, especially in the developers world, Google decided to launch a large-scale competition, to encourage developers to work on applications for the Android platform.
