Maybe a smartphone is still enviable five years ago. Think about how Nokia at that time, for ordinary people, the smartphone is a certain extent of Nokia N series, HTC is also called Dopod Blackberry seems to be the root of us, the smartphone market is very clear, you can say that it is not a smartphone in the world, a Nokia 1110 is enough.
The S40 has reached the purpose of entertainment. The birth of the iPhone did gave the world a small sensation. The smartphone storm is quiet, but expensive prices still make many ordinary people, and this time Nokia has a large share of the market. The Symbian system has been deeply rooted in the heart, and the favorable market will inevitably appear, Google is in the day of the day, and the role of this sprayer.
Android, the Android system invented Based on the Linux kernel, this is the most different from the system level and Apple iOS. It is well known that iOS is a UNIX kernel, and the kernel is different, but this does not affect the powerful graphical operation of Android.
The most important thing is that the mobile phone operating system that is comparable to iOS is open source. Open source is a spirit. Open source also makes the pattern of smartphone market, and smartphone manufacturers have begun to go to the Android camp. Milestone wants to reflect. Motorola has to reunite, at this time, for mobile phone manufacturers using the Android operating system can be said to be a milestone, followed by reviewing the changes brought by Android:
1. Smartphones are no longer luxury
Open source Android reduces the threshold for using smartphones, if you are not too high for mobile phone hardware configuration requirements, then you can get a smartphone with a few hundred yuan, and of course its operating system is Android.
2. Android developers become new pets in programmers
In order to create an open developer platform, Google is open from the Android API while opening the Android. The core language developed is a familiar Java, so there is a low development threshold, which can be J2EE or J2ME quickly transformed, and the Android development market that urgently needs talents also allowed programmers' salary.
3. Entrepreneurship companies and their excellent applications
Open Android platforms and lower entrepreneurial thresholds attracted many entrepreneurs, some even played their own applications, which can be seen, what kind of blood boiling can be seen.
4. Software stores have become inevitable
Even if there is Apple's AppStore as a precedent, the AppStore has only one, and the third party's Android app store has formed a bright landscape.
5. The explosive growth of the mobile advertising platform
Relying on the software store, good app can reach a high download amount, but don't forget that this is free, play the game, you like FTP, and the original intention of Google, do the platform, then make money by advertising, App Money can also Adding advertising models, therefore also created a prosperous mobile advertising platform market.
6. Mature Third Party ROM Market
The third party can modify the ROM of the Android original ecology, which is also based on the original ecological Android system too simple, so the third party ROM almost covers all Android devices.
7. Lead the real revolution of the mobile Internet
With the popularity of smartphones and the breeding of various applications and services based on smart phones, mobile Internet truly enters the stage of rapid development.

The following is comparison of Android and iOS and WP7:
Be
1) Android and iOS
Android is open source, iOS is closed, for developers, Android devices are cheap relative to iOS, so many developers are still happy to choose to make Android development, there are many other services accepted by Android, but closed iOS maybe Reversible these related services, although iOS is currently the most developers to make the most platform, but rely on advertising and other modes, Android will also be thick and thin.
2) Android and WP7
Although it is more successful than WP7, it is more successful than WP7, so I will take Android and WP7 to make a comparison, Microsoft and mobile phone giant Nokia cooperate, relying on Nokia and Microsoft capital, WP7 will get a certain market. The share, but the specific situation is still an unknown, but it is also difficult to reach the power of Android open source.
The above can be said to be a probably summary of Android, from my understanding of Android, I also miss something, such as Android's third-party service industry, typical is the Android developer community, such as Android training, etc., here And iOS, WP7 comparison, not to prove Android must be better than other strong, just to illustrate the high-speed development of the mobile Internet, can be said to be a wind direction.
