Question: Why is the world becoming enamored with Android and all its wonderful gadgets?

“Wait…Android? Isn’t that a robot?”

Well, yes. And no. The definition of “android” is: An automated robot usually with human form.

But in the world of high tech and mobile phone know-how, the word Android means the fastest growing smart phone software and gadgets in the world.

This Android definition is: An open mobile phone platform known as a “software stack” for mobile phones, as defined by Google.

So, what is a software stack?

  • An OS (operating system in which everything runs)
  • The middleware  program allows any app to talk to one another, including a network),
  • Applications (actual programs that phones run).

The great thing about the Android program is that it is open source. This means that anyone can use it and apply the Android programming, gadgets and all to whatever else their phone already supplies. Most phone software does not allow this.

Usually, when one buys a mobile phone, you must assure that the phone has the features you desire. With Android, one can buy a mobile phone and apply Android software, making life on-the-go much easier.

To make it even easier, you can buy online with your prepaid card and get exactly what you want.

The good news is that Google recently developed the popular Android phone making the Android software really accessible. More good news? Android gadgets work extremely well on notepads.

Many busy people are now replacing their computers with smart phones loaded with Android gadgets. Why? Because its faster, more sophisticated, and cost-effective. How’s that for an answer?
