Run Android On A Mobile? Yes You Can!

It has been calculated that more than 850,000 Android devices are activated every

day and by February 2012 there were more than 450,000 apps available for Android.

Android is Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google and there is a large community of developers producing Android applications.

The operating system contains the functions that are vital to using a mobile phone, such as the phone dialler, text messaging and phone number storage. But beyond that the possibilities are almost infinite and really only limited by the imagination of the application developer.

Strictly speaking the term app is short for the application which refers to any piece of software that works on a software system of sorts including smartphones.

Some applications can be downloaded from website app stores or direct from the mobile phone or they can be loaded onto an Android device manually.

While some applications are for free others are made available only through purchase. They include ways to use social media, to access online storage services such as Dropbox, and one of the most popular is the range of games that are available.

Android apps make it possible to do nearly everything on a smartphone or tablet that can be done on a static PC but with the added advantage of not having to be in a fixed location.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, many apps are directed at consumers, making it possible to find the closest restaurant or fast food snack location when they are out and about, to read bar codes in shops or to order many goods online via the smartphone.

Thanks to app developers the phone can become a media player capable of both audio and video playback. a navigation app can be helpful for finding ones way in an unfamiliar location and for some people apps can help turn the smartphone into a portable office containing a diary, email capability and a facility for making notes or lists.

According to the website techradar.com, some of the most popular phone apps in April 2012 included a BBC news app, a traffic alert app from the UKs RAC, Google sky map, which allows users to see an accurate representation of the stars in the sky in the users location, an official Android hotmail app and a job search app.

Whether you want to find the quickest route on a journey, create your own avatar, follow your favourite football team or catch up on the news ion the move there is an Android app that will make it possible.
