What is Android after all?



So what this hype is all about and what in the world is Android?

Android is an OS (operating system) that runs on millions and millions of mobile phones, tablets, and other devices. It is created by Google led consortium of 86 software, hardware and web companies known as Open Handset Alliance and is open source in nature. Which means that it is available freely to be distributed with a strong community behind it. Primarily for the fact that no one knows web and user data handling better than Google, we can assume that Google's patronage makes Android, operating system of choice for smart phones and apps requiring to have seamless integration with internet data.
