Android is
an operating system for mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablet computers.
It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by
Google.
Google purchased the initial developer of the
software, Android Inc., in 2005. The unveiling of
the Android distribution on November 5, 2007 was
announced with the founding of the Open Handset
Alliance, a consortium of 84 hardware, software, and
telecommunication companies devoted to advancing
open standards for mobile devices. Google released
most of the Android code under the Apache License, a
free software license.
Android consists of a kernel based on the Linux
kernel, with middleware, libraries and APIs written
in C and application software running on an
application framework which includes Java-compatible
libraries based on Apache Harmony. There are
currently more than 520,000 apps available for
Android.
