What is Android
Android is a mobile platform or simply the operating system of a handphone/mobile devices. Android-powered phones or Android devices means mobile phones made to run Android.

Android was an early initiative by Google which bought over a company building the mobile software and later grouped a few other handset makers and carriers to form a consortium named the Open Handset Alliance. When Google had Android earlier, it has been rumoured that Google is venturing into the mobile industry to produce a mobile phone. That has since evolved much until today.
