Major mobile phone operating systems that fill up the market and strive hard to create a name for themselves include Windows Phone, Windows RT, Symbian, Bada OS, Ubuntu Touch, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Nokia Asha platform, S40, iOS, Brew, Meego, Palm OS and more. But one of the most celebrated operating systems has to be the Android platform. The much known platform faces immense challenge from these other players in the market, especially the Windows OS for tablets and smartphones, but the Linux based mobile phone operating system somehow manages to strike a balance, emerges out as a formidable competitor and finds millions of takers from across the globe. A great chunk of the population believes if there is a leap forward to be taken, it has to be with the Android run smartphones and tablets. No wonder, Lenovo, the third most successful brand after Dell and HP, has the Android operating system in most of its tablets and smartphones. They have outnumbered the sales figures of several other brands especially with their announcement of the Lenovo tablets in India (one of the company’s greatest markets). Owned, developed and managed by Google, one of the biggest advantages of the Android platform is that it is open source and available in the form of a free platform to device manufacturers, mobile network operators, cellular companies, developers, publishers and vendors. What this means is, the manufacturers and company enjoy the freedom of using the platform on their devices and take the liberty of changing it and distributing it without having to shell out a lump sum amount for it separately. The code for the Android platform is usable under the Apache License. Besides, the Android platform is a hot favourite because not only does it come with an A-list of preinstalled software applications but also is the chosen one for developing scalable apps. It facilitates access to a mammoth number of applications through the Google Android App Market and lets the user cherish different types of apps. Apart from being user friendly and extremely convenient to operate, the platform is loaded with exceptional multimedia capabilities and does exceptionally well when put to use for multitasking. Plus the phone options are diverse and combine versatility. To add to that, the Android platform is very particular about privacy and never compromises with the security part, something that comes in very handy for the sceptical user and is enough to attract the budgeted as well as the high end users. The article revolves around the Android operating system and its advantages. Android smartphones and tablets are one of the most loved mobile computing devices in the world and part of several top notch brands’ creations. So much so that Lenovo, the third most successful computer brand, has it in most of its smartphones and tabs, and includes it as one of the USPs of the Lenovo tablets in India (one of the company’s greatest markets).
