Android - Software Stack for Mobiles by Google
Android is a software platform and OS for mobile devices, based on the Linux kernel, and developed by Google and afterwards the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to engrave administer code in the Java language, scheming the phone via Google-developed Java libraries. Applications written in C and other languages can be compiled to ARM native code and run, but this development path isn't officially supported by Google. The phone will first become on hand in the U.S. but a U.K. launch will follow shortly after. Opening Oct. 22, U.S. patrons will be able to buy the G1 for US$179. Users can subscribe to a limited data plan for $25 a month or $35 for indefinite data access. Android is a fully multitasking background where apps can run in parallel. While running in the surroundings, an app can produce notifications to get attention. Apps can easily embed HTML, Javascript, and style sheets. An app can render web content through a WebView. Apps on Android can access core mobile device functionality through standard APIs. Through intents, apps can announce their capabilities for other apps to use.
