The popularity of this operating system has exploded since it first came on the scene a few years ago--mostly because every day more mobile phone developers are using it as their smart phones' operating system. Right now the smart phone is the major accessory to have and there is a good reason for that. While smart phones are definitely useful as phones they are also good for internet use, playing music, taking pictures and playing games. You can use them to play a bunch of games, keep track of things, watch videos or even use them as miniature word processors. Here are some facts that you might not already know about Android phones.

Is it any wonder that the powers that be at Google would be so quick to buy a system that promised to be a major competitor for Windows? Perhaps the biggest bonus to using a Linux-based OS is that everybody is allowed to develop new uses, versions and upgrades for the system. This allows the company to keep their costs low and their profits sky high.

Being able to multi-task between applications is a major selling point that helps Android compete against the crazily popular iPhones. The iPhone can operate any of the base features simultaneously: phone, iPod, internet, or one of the apps that you have downloaded. In terms of multi-tasking that's about all you can do with the iPhone. The Android phones, however, can run multiple apps with no problems at all.

Android phones are all over the world. You might be using a phone that uses the Android OS right now and not even realize it. iPhones and Blackberry Phones are among the few phones not currently using an Android Operating System.
