    These Are The Droids You're Looking For: An
    Android Guide
    Introduction
    From New Kid to King
    Android is among the most influential operating systems crafted this century. Along
    with iOS, it has paved the way for mobile devices that offer an unprecedented level
    of functionality. Currently Android is the most common mobile operating system —
    and there’s no sign that its popularity will wane anytime soon.
    If you’re reading this guide, it’s likely because you have an Android device. I
    congratulate you on your purchase. This guide will help you become acquainted
    with your device and teach you tricks that can make it even better than it already is.
    Before we dive in however, let’s take some time to look over Android’s history and
    the different versions on the market. Knowing this is important, as Android is
    frequently updated with new features and not all devices are sold with the same
    version.

    Android Guide
    A Brief History of Android
    Android only came to public attention within the last few years, but the roots of the
    operating system go back to 2003 and the founding of Android, Inc. The startup flew
    under the radar at the time, and was only given public light when it was suddenly
    bought by Google in 2005.
    Even after the acquisition of Android, its importance to Google wasn’t clear.
    Android, Inc remained secretive during its existence, so many assumed that the
    purchase had something to do with web search via mobile phones. That turned out
    to be true, but by no means the entire story.
    Google released Android 1.0 in 2008 on the HTC Dream, known as the G1 in many
    markets (including the United States.) It promised an open platform for mobile
    phone software development. Some would argue that this promise has not been
    fulfilled, but Google’s stance on open source undeniably differs from that of iOS.
    From humble beginnings, Android has become the dominant smartphone operating
    system, defeating the entrenched competition from Apple, Blackberry and Nokia in
    less than three years.
    Dig beneath Android and you’ll find a Linux kernel, and those who hack their phones
    occasionally have to deal with command-line prompts. For your average user
    however, Android is nothing like Linux — past or present. It’s built to obscure its origins
    and present a user interface anyone can enjoy, though the bones of Linux remain
    underneath.
    Android Versions Explained – And How to Check Yours
    Some confusion surrounds the
    different versions of Android. There
    are many available, and
    unfortunately, not all new devices
    use the latest version.
    First, let me make it clear that this
    guide refers to the version of
    Android used on smartphones,
    particularly Android version 2.x or
    newer. Tablets usually run
    Honeycomb, which is the version
    of Android designed specifically for
    tablets. Although there are
