Android (a Greek word with two syllables - "man" and "like") - means humanoid robot. Perhaps this is why the Android operating system logo depicts a robot. The history of the creation of the Android operating system began in 2002. It was during this period that the creators of Google Corporation became interested in E. Rubin's set of software developments. TAndroid Inc. was initially under great secrecy with the project of creating a new operating system for mobile devices. Android is a portable (network) operating system based on the Linux kernel for communicators, tablet computers, e-books, digital music equipment, wristwatches, netbooks and smartbooks. Initially, Android Inc. started to be created by the company, which was later bought by Google. Google later formed the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), which continues to support and further develop the platform. Android allows you to create a Java application that controls the device through a library developed by Google. The Android Native Development Kit creates applications written in Si and other languages. In the third quarter of 2012, 75% of smartphones sold had the Android operating system installed. HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) is the first smartphone based on the Android OS. after the release of the first version, several innovations were introduced into the system. These updates were usually associated with fixing the identified bugs and adding new functionality to the system. Each version of the system was given its own code name as a novelty. Code names are given in alphabetical order. As of November 2008, 2012 versions of the system have been created. The last version was called 14 Jelly Bean ("with the addition of chewy bean"). The HTC Dream smartphone (officially T-Mobile G4.1 under the name T-Mobile G1) was the first Android device, released on September 2008, 23. Soon, many applications started coming from other manufacturers of smartphones with the desire to produce devices based on Android. With the release of the third (Honeycomb) version of Android designed for tablets, more and more manufacturers began to announce the production of tablets on this platform. In addition to smartphones and tablets, they began to install the Android operating system on other devices.
For example, at the end of 2009, the first Android-based photo frame was released. In June 2011, the Italian company BlueSky announced that it will produce i'm Watch, an intelligent wristwatch running under the control of the Android operating system. In August 2012, Nikon presented the world's first photo camera running on the Google platform. In addition, the developer ported Android to a number of popular devices, including, for example, Windows Mobile HTC Touch Dual and HTC TyTN II smartphones. ,they have Android running in emulation mode. Full porting has also been done to devices such as the Nokia N810 and Nokia N900 (a port of Nitdroid) Internet tablets running on Maemod, Windows Mobile operating system, MeeGo, and Nokia N2 smartphones running on the HTC HD9 platform, which have Android operating system. system can be used as micro SD-cards as internal NAND-memory. At the same time, the built-in system has full functionality without any limitations. In addition, there is a successful experience of installing the Android operating system on Apple devices - iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad using a special program called Openiboot, which is designed to run various operating systems, including the Android operating system, on these devices. Bada operating system devices are getting initial firmware with limited functionality.
Koolu is developing its business in selling these smartphones with the re-installed Google mobile platform, along with installing Android on the Neo Free Runner. The first official and public beta release of Neo Free Runner from Koolu for Android took place in December 2008. Android has also been ported to the x86 architecture.Advantages: Some commentators have suggested that Android is used in many cases for web surfing, Google Inc. They say that it performs better than one of its competitors, Apple iOS, in terms of compatibility with its services and other features. Android is an open platform compared to iOS, which allows for more functionality. Unlike iOS and Windows Phone 7, Android has a full implementation of Bluetooth streaming that allows both receiving and transferring files. There is the implementation of FTP server, network access point mode (PAN service) and group first level network (GN service) via Bluetooth. Android devices usually have a MicroSD card reader, which allows you to quickly transfer computer files to the phone, regardless of the speed limitations of other transfer methods, without removing USB and memory cards; in addition, it is not possible to directly transfer any files to/from the phone except through iOS and Window Phone 7 synchronization software (iTunes and Zune), while Android phones require a memory card can transfer the file system like a USB mass storage device ("flash drive"). Despite the initial prohibition of installing programs from "unverified sources" (for example, from a memory card), this restriction is disabled using permanent tools in hardware settings, which allows installing programs on phones and tablets without Internet connections (for example, Wi-Fi -for users who don't have Wi-Fi access points and don't want to spend money on mobile internet, which is usually very expensive), and allows anyone to write and test Android apps for free on their own hardware, while iOS and Windows Phone 7 would have to buy a developer registry even if they didn't want to distribute their software. Android can be used on various hardware platforms such as ARM, MIPS, x86. Applications are available in other alternative Google play stores, for example Appstore for Android from Amazon, Opera Store, Yandex.Store. History of Android development: July 2005 - Google company Android Inc. bought the company. September 2007, 5 - The Open Handset Alliance (OHA), a group of companies whose goal is to develop open standards for mobile devices, is officially announced.
