Android is an open source operating system developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance for use in mobile devices. It uses a modified Linux kernel and other open source software, allowing developers to write managed code using Java-like languages. Applications are compiled into Dalvik bytecode to run on Android's optimized virtual machine. The Android platform is designed to break down barriers between applications by allowing them to share components and data through its intent system.

• Hell lot of applications
• Getting Cheaper.. ;)
• **Smartphones will double their share of all cellphones to
about 20 percent in the world
• And by year 2011,it is expected to have more number of
smartphones in U.S. than feature phones..
• Let’s see how..

The Dalvik runtime is optimized for mobile applications
Run multiple VMs efficiently
Each app has its own VM
Android Advantage (contd.)
• Android breaks down the barriers to building new
and innovative applications.
‫ﬤ‬ For an example, a developer can combine information
from the web with data on an individual's mobile
phone -- such as the user's contacts, calendar, or
geographic location -- to provide a more relevant user
experience.
4. Breaking down application boundaries:

17. SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION :: ANDROID EXPERIENCE 19
Android is designed to enable reuse of
components in other applications
Each application can publish its
capabilities which other apps can use
5. All applications are written in Java and
available to each other
Android Advantage (Summary)

18. • Android SDK includes
a virtual mobile
device - Lets you
prototype, develop,
and test Android
applications without
using a physical
device.
‫ﬤ‬ GPS support
