Android operating system-some notes

Android runs on millions of devices around the world. Its new updates support exciting form-factors. Android is Google’s open and free software stack that includes a plethora of applications that can be run on Android mobile devices, including smartphones. This is the reason that a digital marketing agency in Nashville always look to take in android devices when it comes to mobile marketing. Updates for the open source Android mobile operating system have been developed under “dessert-inspired” codenames(Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich) with each new version arriving in alphabetical order with new enhancements and improvements.



September 20th, 2008 was the date when Google released the first Android OS by the name of ‘Astro’. After some time next upgraded versions ‘Bender’ and ‘Cupcake’ were also released. Google then adopted the trend of naming Android versions after any dessert or a sweet in alphabetical order. The other releases are Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean is so far the latest android version from google. Since the platform is not closed like IOS, there are too many great Android apps built by developers.

Just after stepping into the smartphone and tablets market Android gained immense popularity due to its beautiful appearance and efficient working. Many new features were introduced which played a significant role in Android’s success. Google Play is an official app market which contains millions of different apps for Android devices. Samsung, HTC, Motorola and many other top manufacturers are using Android in their devices. Currently Android is one of the top operating systems and is considered a serious threat for iPhone.
