 The ANDROID Effect
Android recently overtook symbian as most famous
and used operating system in the world….
No operating system is being able to compete the
growing popularity of android and its growing
applctions….

Most mobile companies are going for Andoid to be the

default OS instead of Apples OS-ios4.3(4 iphone 4) or
windows OS, blackberry's OS or symbian....

 Market
Android Market is the online software store developed by Google
for Android devices….
There were about 200,000 games, applications and widgets
available on the Android Market, with an estimated 2.5 billion
total downloads….
Most of the apps in the market are free.. It’s easy to
search for any app in the market…

 CHALLENGES
CPU typically runs 500-600 Mhz….

Disk (flash) access is very slow….

Apps must pause/quit often, and restore to give

the illusion that they are always running….

Very high DPI - small text may not be readable….

Network access may be slow….
