Android Operating System (Mobile Devices) by Google

Android is an operating system for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers (smartphones, netbooks, tablet computers, Google TV, etc). It is developed by the “Open Handset Alliance” led by “Google”.

Android consists of a kernel based on the Linux kernel, with middleware, libraries and APIs written in C and application software running on an application framework which includes Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony. Android uses the Dalvik virtual machine with just-in-time compilation to run compiled Java code. Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in a customized version of Java.

The main hardware platform for Android is the ARM architecture. There is support for x86 from the Android-x86 project,[87] and Google TV uses a special x86 version of Android.
