History of android – A boon to the digital world
ď‚— Android had a respectful beginning in 2008, but
over the year this operating system has acquired its position in the market. Google has also sharpened its humor skills with the Android division. Most of its versions are named after various desserts and the names were in alphabetical order like CupCake, Donut, FROYO, GingerBread, HoneyComb, IceCream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and now KitKat.
ď‚— The beginning of the History ď‚— Android was founded in October 2003. The initial
plan of the company was to build an advanced operating system for digital cameras. However, they soon realized that, the market for such devices was not large enough; hence, they diverted their efforts in building Smartphone operating system to rival with Symbian and windows.
Google acquired Android on August 17th, 2005, after this, it was assumed that Google was planning to enter the mobile phone market with this move, to launch a direct challenge to the Apple iPhone, but rather the company simply released a Linux based open source mobile operating system called �Android�. Android is the first open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices, including an operating system, user-interface and applications – all of the software to run a mobile phone.
Just about in a year after Android hit the market, HTC was launched with the first ever Android based device, the TMobil G1. This yielded an idea to the world of what Android was capable of serving on a real-life Smartphone. Google further encouraged the software development companies to develop innovative and useful third-party applications for this platform.
• The core android operating system was developed
from Linux Kernel. Google has made immense changes that have been tailored to the needs of the market that Android has surpassed the original foundation of a Linux kernel.
• Android has come a long way since its first Smartphone
launch and has also become very popular out there. Android phones are so customizable that, devices with the same features can also turn out to be completely different from each other in terms of interface and outlook. A person may use the same phone in a number of ways possible because of its versatility. Moreover the features like, accelerometer, gyroscopes and proximity sensors have made the devices more responsive and closer to the real world interactions. Likewise, these features have also caused the devices to become capable of hosting motion sensor games, which can be played by just by the movement of device.
Anyone can upload a third-party application to the
market place; one does not need to be a part Google to do so. This is one of the major differences between other application market of another operating system and Android Market, now called “Google Play”. Android is upgrading furthermore, and will come
up with more advanced features, which will directly or indirectly influence our lifestyles.
