The mobile phone world is a-buzz with praise for the Android operating system and it has been that way since 2007. There have been many upgrades and updates to the Android system since then. Now the Android operating system software is competing quite well against the other OS softwares that are out there. The cell phone market is not dedicated solely to the iPhone or the Blackberry anymore. With the Android phones and operating system getting more popular by the minute, we thought we would check out the history of the system and see what we could learn. Here are a few things you probably don’t already know about the Android OS and the phones it runs on.<\/p>\n
According to one website we found, Google is not actually the Android creator. We are well aware of the fact that most people credit Google with this. Most people even think of them as “Google phones”. Rich Miner and Andy Rubin, according to the research we’ve done, are the actual creators of the OS. Google bought the OS from them after they invented it in 2003. Even though they bought it in 2003, they didn’t release it right away and, instead, chose to spend a few years on further developments so that it would be better prepared for the mobile market.<\/p>\n
For the most part, phones with the Android OS are cheaper than their popular smart phone counterparts. Blackberries and iPhones run in the multiple hundreds of dollars ranges. At the same time, the cell phone providers are letting their customers get free Android phone upgrades when they renew their contracts. This means that you have all of the smart phone options that other phone owners have but you won’t spend as much money. Allowing their customers to save money is a great way to look better than the competitors. After all, why would you spend a bunch of money if you don’t have to?<\/p>\n
You ave lots of options if you want to listen to and buy music through the Android OS phone. One of the best perks of iPhones is being able to access the iTunes store. That does not mean that you won’t have the same kind of accessibility if you have a Google phones. There are a lot of music applications developed for the Android OS (and most of those are free). Others connect to various music sales sites in a way that is a lot like the way that the iPhone connects to the iTunes marketplace. So don’t believe the rumors that music availability is exclusive to the iPhone.<\/p>\n
There are just as many, if not more, rumors as facts about the Google phone. The fact is that Google phones-phones that run the Android OS-are becoming more prevalent across the cellular market. Cellular developers like Samsung, Motorola and HTC are all using the Android operating system now. The good news is that smart phones are cheaper and more readily available than ever. The bad news is…well, there really isn’t any bad news about smart phones right now, is there?Choosing your next cellular phone used to be easy. You just took whatever free upgrade was available from your provider. Now you are more likely to choose a provider based on the types of phones it offers. The good news is that, for smart phone fans, the Android OS lets you have the phone you want without having to take the provider into consideration. Doesn’t that make you happy?Many people do not know that Android phones are all over the world. Look at your phone, is it an Android OS phone? iPhones and Blackberry Phones are among the few phones not currently using an Android Operating System. That is because many providers began implementing the open source Android OS in 2007 after it’s premier. How many times have you changed phones since 2007?We can think of a whole bunch of reasons to choose an Android phone over the other smart phones that are being sold right now. This is because the Android OS is awesome. This would be true even if we weren’t ready to admit that we are fans of the system. There are updates to the Android system released every day and, thanks to the open source status of the system, anybody can work on it, improve it and make it better. Any day now, the Android phone is going to surpass its smart phone competitors and become the most popular phone available. Before you know it, the Google phones will have at least met if not surpassed the other smart phones in popularity.<\/p>\n
