Android is the world's most popular mobile platform. With Android you can use all the Google apps you know and love, plus there are more than 600,000 apps and games available on Google Play to keep you entertained, alongside millions of songs and books, and thousands of movies. Android devices are already smart, and will only get smarter, with new features you won't find on any other platform, letting you focus on what's important and putting you in control of your mobile experience.
The World’s Most Popular Platform www.eglobiotraining.com
Millions of people already use Android because it makes your mobile device so much more powerful and useful. On Android, the home screen, web browser, email and everything in between are designed to make your life easier. And because Android is open, you can create a unique mobile experience that’s just right for you.
Widgets www.eglobiotraining.com
Put the important stuff right within reach and interact with your favorite apps directly from your home screen with widgets — see the latest sport scores, view your favorite photos, check the weather or peek at your inbox all without having to open different apps or leave the home screen.
Notifications www.eglobiotraining.com
An easy-to-read notification tray gives you quick access to your calls, incoming texts, and new emails in a non-intrusive way.
Multi-tasking www.eglobiotraining.com
With Android, you can quickly and seamlessly switch between apps and pick up whatever you were doing. Juggling multiple tasks at once on a mobile device has never been easier.
Voice typing and actions www.eglobiotraining.com
Control your Android device with your voice. Simply touch the microphone on the keyboard and start talking to write emails, SMS, or any other text — more than 30 languages supported. Text appears in real time, so there’s no waiting.
Photos and videos www.eglobiotraining.com
Capture special moments with great photos and videos, explore your shots and quickly share your favorites in any way that you want.
Your Android device is already smart, and it’s only going to get smarter. Android was the first to bring you
features on certain devices like Face Unlock — which uses facial
recognition to let you unlock your device with a smile, Android Beam —
which lets you share contacts, directions and more by touching two devices together, and Google Now —
which brings you just the right information, before you even ask.

Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer.
It was built to be truly open. For example, an application can call upon any of the phone’s core functionality such as making calls, sending text
messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for
users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine
that was designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment.
Android is open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as
they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build
innovative mobile applications. www.eglobiotraining.com
All applications are created equal www.eglobiotraining.com
Android does not differentiate between the phone’s core applications and third-party applications. They can all be built to have equal access to a phone’s capabilities providing users with a broad spectrum of applications and services. With devices built on the Android Platform, users are able to fully tailor the phone to their interests. They can swap out the phone's homescreen, the style of the dialer, or any of the applications. They can even instruct their phones to use their favorite photo viewing application to handle the viewing of all photos.
Breaking down application boundaries www.eglobiotraining.com
Android breaks down the barriers to building new and innovative applications. For 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. With Android, a developer can build an application that enables users to view the location of their friends and be alerted when they are in the vicinity giving them a chance to connect.
Fast & easy application development www.eglobiotraining.com
Android provides access to a wide range of useful libraries and tools that can be used to build rich applications. For example, Android enables developers to obtain the location of the device, and allows devices to communicate with one another enabling rich peer–to–peer social applications. In addition, Android includes a full set of tools that have been built from the ground up alongside the platform providing developers with high productivity and deep insight into their applications.
