• 1.  INTRODUCTION ORIGIN OF ANDROID PLATFORM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT VERSIONS OF ANDROID
• 2.  Android is a software cluster for mobile devices that includes an operating system OS, key applications and middleware. About the design, Kernal of Android is based on Linux kernal and further furnished by Google. Android doesn’t have a essential X Window System nor does it support the full set of standard GNU libraries, which makes it difficult to port existing Linux applications or libraries to Android.
• 3.  Android was founded in Palo Alto, California in October 2003 by Andy Rubin , Rich Miner ,Nick Sears and Chris White who work at “Google” to develop, in Rubins words "...smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owners location and preferences.”
• 4.  Android was bought by Google in 2005 On the 5th of the November 2007 the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of several companies was unveiled with the goal to develop open standards for mobile devices.
• 5.  HARDWARE Android is not a single piece of hardware; its a complete, end-to-end software platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations. Everything is there, from the boot loader all the way up to the applications
• 6.  OPERATING SYSTEM  Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management, process management, and networking.  The next level up contains the Android native libraries. They are all written in C/C++ internally, but you’ll be calling them through Java interfaces. In this layer you can find the Surface Manager, 2D and 3D graphics, Media codecs, the SQL database (SQLite), and a native web browser engine (WebKit).  Dalvik Virtual Machine. Dalvik runs dex files, which are coverted at compile time from standard class and jar files
• 7.  NETWORK CONNECTIVITY It supports wireless communications using:  GSM mobile-phone technology  3G  802.11 Wi-Fi networks
• 8.  SECURITY Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the system) runs in its own process. Most security between applications and the system is enforced at the process level through standard Linux facilities, such as user and group IDs that are assigned to applications. Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a "permission" mechanism that enforces restrictions on the specific operations that a particular process can perform, and per-URI permissions for granting ad-hoc access to specific pieces of data.
• 9.  PERFORMANCE
• 10.  FUTURE POSSIBILITIES The OHA is committed to make their vision a reality: to deploy the Android platform for every mobile operator, handset manufacturers and developers to build innovative devices Intel doesn’t want to lose ownership of the netbook market, so they need to prepare for anything, including Android More Android devices are coming and some will push the envelope even further
• 11.  DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS Java Android SDK Eclipse IDE (optional) PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES Java – officially supported C/C++ – also possible but not supported
• 12.  ANDROID 1.0 Android 1.0, the first commercial version of the software, was released on September 23, 2008. HTC dream first commercially sold out mobile which runs on android on Oct 22 2008
