What is Android? Lets find the Answer. (Short Blog)

 What is Android?


Android
 is an open source and Linux-based Operating System for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and other companies.

Android  offers  a  unified  approach  to  application  development  for  mobile  devices  which  means  developers  need only develop for Android, and their applic actions should be able to run on different devices powered by Android.

The first beta version of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) was released by Google in 2007 where as the first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008.

On June  27,  2012,  at  the  Google  I/O  conference,  Google  announced  the  next  Android  version,  4.1 Jelly  Bean . Jelly  Bean  is  an  incremental  update,  with  the  primary  aim  of  improving  the  user  interface,  both  in  terms  of  functionality and performance.

The source code for Android is available under free and open source software licenses. Google publishes most of  the code under the Apache License version 2.0 and the rest, Linux kernel changes, under the GNU General Public License version 2\
