Wtf is Android ?

Hey,

So.... what the fuck is Android ? Android is an OS for Smart Phones and tablet pc's created by Android Inc. but later purshased by Google Inc. OS is based on Linux kernel. ccording to NPD group, unit sales for Android OS smartphones ranked first among all smartphone OS handsets sold in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2010, at 33%. Blackberry OS (RIM)  is second at 28%, and iOS (iPhone) is ranked third with 22%.

Android have HUGE number of develepers creating apps for the OS, most of them are free, some almost free (you how to pay for more functions). This is good thing, knowing that iPhone users have to pay for the apps they download.

Analytics say that in the neear future Android Phone will completely take over iPhone and Blackberry users.
