A couple of days ago, the most popular mobile operating system in the world turned 5 years. Do you think if we go back a few years into the past?
In the month of November 2007 when a consortium of 34 companies that were led by Google were released under the name of Open Handset Alliance (OHA). The organization currently has 84 members among which includes Samsung, Intel, Sony, LG, Nvidia, HTC and many more signatures.
As I said, this organization was formed by manufacturers of mobile , application developers, manufacturers of hardware , etc. The day the organization was officially introduced, which was on November 6, also announced something unexpected: a new mobile operating system. His name? Android, the great open source mobile platform based on the Linux kernel. Almost a week later, on November 12, the first Android SDK was released to developers.
If you wonder why the first Android phone was released almost a year later, on October 22, 2008 and was called HTC Dream, also known as T-Mobile G1.
Today, as we well know, Android is the operating system used in smartphones and its app store has over 700,000 apps available, and an estimated total of around 25,000 million downloads. The OS is also used in tablets, TVs, netbooks and cameras photo, among others.
Tell us: do you have a device that runs Android?
