True Facts about Android – You should know !

“Facts”

Android is the mobile operating system developed by Google. Essentially, Google produces the software that runs almost every other mobile phone besides Apple’s iPhone. There are also some popular Android tablets as well. Android is a Linux-based software system, and similar to Linux, is free and open source software. This means that other companies can use the Android operating system developed by Google and use it in their mobile devices (more on that later). The distinguishing factor of this brand is a kernel. Android hosts a central core, which essentially is a strip code that helps the software operate.




Google Acquired Android Inc., A Small Startup, in 2005

Lot’s of people think that Google created Android, originally in 2003 Android was being produced and originally developed by Android Inc in California. Google decided to buy Android for $50,000,000.

The original creators were Android Inc. — led by Andy Rubin, who became the head of Android development at Google after the acquisition in 2005. Google bought the company because they thought Android Inc. had a interesting and important concept — of creating a powerful, yet free, mobile operating system — and its considerable mobile arsenal. Android helped Google to reach a younger audience as well as give the company a number of brilliant employees from Android Inc.

In March 2013, Andy Rubin decided to leave the company he founded, Android, to move on to other projects. However, Android hasn’t missed a step, and replaced him with Sundar Pichai. Pichai used to be the head of Chrome OS — Google’s desktop operating system (for laptops and desktops) — so his experiences leading development teams should be beneficial to Google.

 Android Logo, Copied/Stolen ?

The Android robot mascot, Andy was first drafted from an Atari video game.

Some of the Tech heads believes that logo of Google’s Android Is similar to Atari Game called “Gauntlet is just a coincidence where else other believes it is been copied.  Not just a character but the name itself is been copied from the game.
