Android OS From The Eyes of a Product Expert

  • What is Android?

    Android is open source software that is provided to hardware manufacturers as a smart option to power their devices. The manufacturers will then customize the Android code to fit the features of their devices. This brings about more options for consumers and a more robust and adaptable experience for the end user. Android is under constant development by Google and it was launched to the public in 2006 after a 2 or 3 year developmental path.


    Fun Fact: It was first dreamed as the perfect operating system for digital cameras but quickly shifted to become a prototype for a new smartphone platform.


    Between the launch and current day, the Googley Great Android team has been busy at work adapting the OS to TVs, Smart Devices, Wearables, Tablets, and just about any other type of mobile device and more. However, with so many different versions of the Android operating system, two different users will likely have two very different experiences. This can make troubleshooting and assisting someone else harder in some cases. Directing your mom or coworker to "swipe and press" may work on your device but not on theirs.
