Android is open source and a fully customizable mobile platform. Android offers a full stack: an operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications.
| Open Platform: Built on the open Linux Kernel, Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer |
| All Applications are Equal: Android does not differentiate between the phone's core applications and third-party applications. They can all be built to have equal access to a phone's capabilities providing users with a broad spectrum of services. |
| Overcomes Boundaries: Android allows you to combine information from the Web, directly from your mobile handset and corporate sources thereby accelerating the information-gathering process. |
| Fast and Easy Development:Incorporating a powerful Java engine, Android provides access to a wide range of useful libraries and tools that can be used to build rich applications. In addition, it includes a full set of tools that have been built from the ground up alongside the platform providing developers with high productivity and deep insight into their applications.
