Google Android Platform With Open Sourcing
By Joan Kickosawa
Unless you live in a bubble, by now you have probably seen the
unusual commercials for the new Android mobile phones that state
that the Android is a device that does innovative things.
The design and development of this new platform was created by
Android mobile applications developers in partnership with Google.
It was initially introduced as an alternative to Apple’s iPhone
and the very things that this new phone does will be what differentiates
it from the competition.
The Google Android platform allows users and developers alike,
greater freedom because it is an open source platform.
New And Innovative Features On Mobile Phones
So what, you may ask, is an Android phone and what exactly does
it do? Is it comparable to the iPhone or is it better? To fully
understand what it is and what it can do for you, you first need
a little background information on mobile phones and how they
function.
Every mobile hand-phone has an operating system, which is software
that is permanently stored on the phone. The Google Android platform’s
open sourcing allows for new and innovative benefits.
Unique Applications
A notable benefit of Android applications includes more variety.
With an endless number of applications, software developers can
review their options and use their boundless creativity to develop
unique applications.
There can be limitless variety in the types and functions of
applications. Almost any idea for an application that is conceivable
can be developed into reality.
A User Friendly Platform
More benefits include innovative applications. Applications could
take months to create in the past. Now, with this user-friendly
platform, the Google Android software developers and others are
creating their unique applications in less time, all the while
bringing fresh and new ideas to life.
When discussing benefits, let’s not forget the cost savings of
Android mobile application development. Because of the move past
proprietary systems to open source systems, the actual cost of
your mobile phone will be reflected in the cost of the hardware,
since the costs for research and development will not be present.
Reduced Development Costs
The cost of research and development used to weigh heavily on
the cost of mobile phones in the past.
Yet another benefit of Android software is the ability to choose
from multiple carriers. With this software, you have your choice
of mobile phone carriers, unlike the iPhone, which requires that
you choose one specific carrier.
The ability to choose between carriers can possibly save you
money, as well as give you the opportunity to compare several
companies to get the best plan for you. Additionally, issues of
coverage areas, as with the iPhone, won’t be a problem for users
who choose a new Android phone.
Create And Buy Android Applications
As mobile phones go, the Google Android platform affords much
greater freedom for users and developers alike. Open source operating
systems are the future of communication. Since the iPhone depends
on a single system where not all the applications may have access,
user options are much more limited.
With greater variety, innovation, cost savings and the ability
to choose the carrier you want, it’s no wonder that people are
jumping on the bandwagon and are eager to get an Android phone,
as well as create and buy Android applications.

The Android is a Google mobile operating
system that is the platform from which many developers create
applications. The Android application is very versatile and it
is easy to work with.

of the applications put out have been games designed specifically
for your cell phone but there are applications that can make coordinating
