• HISTORY
Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto,
California in October 2003 by Andy Rubin
(co-founder of Danger), Rich Miner (co-
founder of Wildfire Communications,
Inc.),Nick Sears(once VP at T-Mobile),and
Chris White (headed design and interface
development at WebTV)to develop, in
Rubin's words "smarter mobile devices that
are more aware of its owner's location and
preferences".

• Google acquired Android Inc. on August
17, 2005, making it a wholly owned
subsidiary of Google. Key employees of
Android Inc., including Rubin, Miner
and White, stayed at the company after
the acquisition. Not much was known
about Android Inc. at the time, but many
assumed that Google was planning to
enter the mobile phone market with this
move. At Google, the team led by Rubin
developed a mobile device platform
powered by the Linux kernel.

• An Android phone is a Smartphone
running on Google's open-source
Android operating system.
• Originally derived from the Linux
desktop operating system, Android is
a customizable platform that can look
and feel very different on very different
handsets.

• All of them have touchscreens. Some
also have hardware keyboards. All
come with a desktop that is made up
of a certain number of screens that
you can customize to your liking. You
can populate screens with shortcuts
to apps or widgets that display news
headlines, search boxes, or more.

• All Android phones also offer
access to the Android Market,

Historical Background
• Initially, Google partnered with the High
Tech Computer Corporation (now HTC
Corporation) to build the first mobile
phone to run the Android™ platform,
known as the G1™ in the United States.
In 2008, T-Mobile premiered the G1™
Android™ phone to the American public.
Since then, dozens of manufacturers
have brought hundreds of phones with
this operating system to market.

SDK
• Android offers a Software
Development Kit (SDK) to help
developers create functional
applications. While some parts of the
Android operating system are
protected under the Apache License to
guard against applications that could
compromise the phones' basic
functionality.

20. http://eglobiotraining.com/androidtrai

• The SDK includes extensive resources
and tools to facilitate this sort of
development. It is updated regularly,
together with the operating system
itself, and a priority is placed upon
supporting work on both newer and
older versions of Android.
