Android OS
Android is an open source mobile phone operating system developed by Google, roughly based on Linux. Android aims to be a broad platform thats used in multiple devices from many different manufacturers. Taking a very unique approach in the world of handset operating systems, Android isn't tied to a specific chipset, manufacturer, or platform, and since the software is open source, any tinkerer willing to give enough time to Android could theoretically release Android on any handset to which the developer has low-level access.
The first Android device, the T-Mobile G1, went on sale on October 22 and was manufactured by HTC. New Android devices were announced at Mobile World Congress 2009.
