Quick Notes about Google Android:

Android is an open source operating system (OS) used by a variety of different manufacturers. It is the world's most widly spread mobile OS.

Hundreds of thousands of apps available on the Google Play app store
Android is one of the most, if not the most, customisable option in the mobile OS market
Operating System versions tend to be named after desserts (Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean).
Designed for easy use for OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
WebKIT is the core of the browser.
Android not only utilises icons on its home screens, but also Widgets. Widgets are live-updated windows that also often boast usable functionalities that do not require the user to open an app.
OS fragmentation is the core issue for Android devices. This is because when a new version of Android comes out, it must then spread to all the different manufacturers and then through various carriers. Many phones do not see an update until the next one after it is on the horizon, or even after its release.
