Can someone explain what the android phone is?

I've recently been hearing a lot about this new top secret android phone, possibly the HTC Dream. Can someone please explain to me in simple terms what this "android" is? I really just don't seem to get it. Can someone explain what the android phone is?
'Android' is really just a new phone operating system (OS).



Many modern phones use "Windows Mobile" version 5 or 6. Sony Ericsson and Nokia and some Motorola and Samsungs use "Symbian".



Palm uses their own "Palm OS" but also has "Windows Mobile" devices.



Anyway, the people behind Google decided to get in on the act, and developed their own phone OS... called "Android".



Android was designed from the ground up to be very flexible for third-party programmers -- they will have good development and debugging tools and will have APIs (interface calls) that will let them access core phone features and functions.



The big plus commercially with Android was that it's free to phone manufacturers (at the moment, if you want to build and sell a Windows Mobile phone or a Symbian phone or a Palm OS phone you need to pay a license fee to Microsoft or Symbian or Palm respectively).



There's been some controversy about the Android OS recently... Google made available their latest Software Development Kit to only a few developers so there's been some disgruntled developers out there, and the competitor Symbian have just announced this week that Symbian OS will be open source (which means no more license fee for phone manufacturers to pay and makes Symbian more competitive)... and of course the flashy Apple iPhone which has its own OS has been getting a lot of attention from developers and customers.



Anyway, watch this space! Hopefully Android will still come to fruition and I'm looking forward to seeing what the first Android phones look like.

What kind of SIM card does the Google Android G1 use ?

What kind of SIM card does the Google Android G1 use ? Is it like the 3G SIM Card the ones like the iPhone 3G or just a regular SIM card like on most cell phones.

ThanksWhat kind of SIM card does the Google Android G1 use ?
It's a regular T-Mobile SIM card; T-Mobile only has one kind of SIM. What kind of SIM card does the Google Android G1 use ?
The same sim card you use on any other T-Mobile phone. I've used the same one on the last six or seven phones I've had.



The sim card has nothing to do with what network you use on T-Mobile phones. The phone determines whether or not you use 3G, Edge or GSM.What kind of SIM card does the Google Android G1 use ?
If your a Tmobil customer you can to use the same SIM card that was in your old phone, each phone carrier has different SIM cards an iPhone SIM card will not work with the G1!. G1 Great phone lots of Apps for FREE!!

What is your experience between Android and Window Mobiles?

I am a Windows fan and I love their products and services (do not even talk to me about Mac crap), but I am getting a little frustrated with my Windows Mobile phone (Touch Pro 2). I need someone that has switched from Win Mobile to Android or Android to Win Mobile to tell me why they made the switch. You would be helping me make up my mind about if I should keep or chuck the phone.What is your experience between Android and Window Mobiles?
Hello, I'm a windows fan also, but in mobile system, I don't like it so much!



it's not steady, and not so reliable. Always, I have to wait for a while when I'm switch panels. and sometimes, it would stop and have to reset even when you are getting a phone!



before I choose the android phone, I used nokia, it's OK, reliable, steady, but, no many apps for it.



At last, I choose android. Android is steady, and there are many softwares for it! It's even has a apps store for it. And there're more and more resources in there internet for it. For example:



http://www.androidsoft4u.com



this site collects lots of apps, games, and themes, wallpapers for android.



In fact, iphone is excellent, but it's too expensive!What is your experience between Android and Window Mobiles?
I have had three phone operating systems, Microsoft (moto Q), Blackberry (Storm), and now the Android (HTC Incrdible). The microsoft systems work the best with any existing Microsoft software you may sync with, outlook, media player, etc. If you're like myself, however, I use Google for everything. Maps, calendar, contacts, etc. This is prime time for the Droid, however I hear that the droid does sync with microsoft software. The blackberry was about the same as the Q, just a little less user friendly. If you use Microsoft for everything, stick with it. If you're a google person go with the Droid.



Hope this helps.What is your experience between Android and Window Mobiles?
i think android phone is much better then all other smart phone specially google nexus one is best

    What can a Droid phone do that other (non-Verizon) android phones can't?

    I know that the android OS is available on other phones using carriers other than Verizon. Can the Verizon phone do anything different? And do you need a data plan to use the android OS on phones other than Droid?What can a Droid phone do that other (non-Verizon) android phones can't?
    What I've discovered about the droid isn't that it doesn THAT much more than other phones, its just that it does it so much faster. The phone's processor is really fast and makes the internet really easy to use. For instance, I'm using mine right now to answer this question without any trouble. Other than that, it runs a lot of apps similar to the iPhone.

    EDIT: yes, it does have a data plan, mine's 30 bucks a month but I know that if you're willing to go with sprint, you can get a full data plan for 15.What can a Droid phone do that other (non-Verizon) android phones can't?
    The Droid is far superior to all other phones because of the level of customization and personality that is coupled with blazing fast surfing speeds. Not only does Droid surf the internet faster than other phones, but it also allows you to maniuplate it to suit your liking. There are endless amounts of options with regards to how you can make your Droid more "you."

    what do you mean there are multiple android phones on verison the htc droid incredible the motorola droid 2 and the motorola droid x its not features the droid x and the droid incredible are two of the fastest phones.
    droid DOES, while other phones don't. yes. you do need a data plann. it should be about 30 a month, that was with my old verizon phone anyways...good luck!

    How do you play music from my Android to my stereo?

    My cell phone is a Samsung Epic 4G and my network is Sprint. I have an auxiliary cable connected to my stereo (Which is a Sony CMT-LX20i and it also says its a Hi-Fi Component System) and to my cell phone and the only functions on the stereo are iPod, CD, Tuner FM, Tuner AM, and Audio In. Maybe it's not compatible with an Android is what I was thinking but I don't know. Any help is appreciated.How do you play music from my Android to my stereo?
    The function you need to use is Audio In. Look for a headphone plug on your stereo and connect it using a 3.5 mm headphone jack cable which has a jack on either end. Connect them and hit play on your phone, and then you should be good.

    Would an android that is an animal still be called an android?

    I'm writing and I can't really think of what to call a cat robot thing. It looks and functions just like a cat, but it's not a cat, it's a robot. The word that comes to mind is android, but the official definition of android is: an automaton in the form of a human being. Note the part about in the form of a human being.

    No, but it would be considered humanoid.

  • I am a female with an android body type. What is the best diet and fitness regimen for me?

    Android body type means you are athletic and have broad shoulders and big ribcage with undefined hips and waiste, and your thighs are muscular. If you gain weight, it's all in yoru upper-body (so that makes you apple-shaped). I also have an anabolic metabolism. Also as a sidenote, I'm a vegetarian (so lately my diet has been more carbs than anything else). I also like to run.

    Any help? I'm trying to lose weight. Thanks!I am a female with an android body type. What is the best diet and fitness regimen for me?
    Well, thats nice.Maybe some yoga and pilates to trim down andnget the deep stabiliser muscles a good workout. Also eat all natural , you can stilll be a veggie.Just no man made stuff, especially man made carbs, like white flour.Swimming, when you describe your body type I am thinking like Ashley olsen ribs and spine with arnold shoulders and legs, I doubt that this is you though.I think you are making yoursefl seem worse than you really are, so find some good pilates and yoga programs to stay strong , toned, thin, healthy and flexible. I have never seen a muscular Pilates or Yoga practitioner, guy or gal.Also swimmers get big shoulders so maybe no swimming.To gain weight down south you must squat. Also sumo deadlifts.

    Can apps from apple or itunes still work on android tablets or phones?

    I introduced a friend of mine to use a new tablet that runs off of the android store. His wife has an iphone and both are wondering if applications, no matter from either side, can still be usable for both systems. I understand that yes both sides have similar apps that are the same, but what I'm trying to find out is, if I bought an app from say the android market, could i transfer that same app to the iphone or vice versa?Can apps from apple or itunes still work on android tablets or phones?
    No, you can't, they are in different platform. one is android, one is ios. But most of producer will make 2 version for ios and android.

    Please suggest me a good android phone within range of Rs 10000 to 13000. Is it right time to buy?
    Well that depends on what you want. I would suggest the sony ericsson x10 mini. It has an excellent camera. Good after sales service and also is a reliable brand name. While it doesn't support 3g it is definitely worth the price.

    HTC is also a good suggestion but they do not have good after sales service. The tattoo would be the best in HTC for your price because the wildfire is about 1k more than your budget.

    Videocon Zeus is another one but i have heard no reviews about it but they do give you an extra battery and an 8gb free with the phone so it is a good deal.

    Then there is the LG optimus which is special because it is android froyo (2.2) as no other phone seens to have it now (budget) and even high end models are still stuck is 2.1

    then there is samsung, a good brand, there is galaxy 5 and galaxy 3 in your budget. Both have received good reviews, especially the galazy 5.

    Happy shopping.
    harsha , when u feel to buy sumthing then the right time is just then when u feel it ..

    the technology is growing every second .. so in my opinion waiting will result in nothing but more confusion .. i would suggest you samsung galaxy 3 .. its best anroid in its class and in this budget ...



    new good anroids phones in this segment are not gonna come until few months ..

    so consult about galaxy 3 from store near you and if u fell i am correct go for it . ;)

    all the bestPlease suggest me a good android phone within range of Rs 10000 to 13000. Is it right time to buy?
    Hi Harsha..

    If u already own a smartphone then u can wait a bit more for Android 2.3...

    If u don't own one then why not grab it...



    U can choose from the below 2 models, Both with Android 2.2 %26amp; will cost u around Rs.12000...

    The phone won't even function if you do not have their internet package, which is 25-35$ a month.



    You don't have to be connected to Wi-Fi for it to work, you can connect to the internet anywhere you have service with the 3g network.

    I don't know what you mean by 'regular tablet', they're all tablet computers.

    As to the difference, buying an iPad locks you in to 1 vendors hardware %26amp; supply chain, as you are limited to buying apps %26amp; services via Apple, %26amp; have to use the OS as is...

    Android is Open Source, hence no lock-in, so you can get apps from many different sources, %26amp; hack the OS to your specific requirements.

    Also, most Android devices have better connectivity than iPads, from what I've seen of them in shops. And iPads seem a bit flimsy compared to some Android hardware as well.

    The Moto Cliq is an okay android phone.

    The HTC Legend is a good phone.

    There is also the Xperia X10 Mini coming out.
    Oh, maybe you could consider about the G4, it's much cheaper than the Desire.



    Although it's screen is much smaller, but the CPU and RAM are both OK, and the OS is a little newer than G2.



    It's just my point, and hope you know more about the android phones before you make a decision.Which Android phone is the best for my son?
    I would go with the Motorola Click

    Motorola Back flip - $99.99 with an At%26amp;T contract

    Motorola Devour - $79.99 with a Verizon contract

    LG Ally - $49.99 with a Verizon contract



    I would pick any phone with android 1.6 for a teen. The first three phones I listed above all have moto blur on it with is geared to social media.

    All four phones listed above have both a slide out or flip keyboard which is good for texting and an on screen keyboard.



    But I think the best phone for your son is the: Motorola i1 from sprint. Take a look at sprints website for this pone.

    http://now.sprint.com/motoi1/



    It is built tough. You said you want a phone that has android on it and is built very sturdy, well I think this one is it. And it has a walky talky feature. It is called push to talk. It is cheap and can be bought with an affordable plan.

    Other than that, it is possible to run Android on certain iPod Touches but Apple products are not my area of expertise so try searching Google for how to do that.

    What is the latest android version for htc hd2?

    I have an htc hd2 with windows mobile 6.5. I want to install an android but I want the latest version, I want to know the updates for it too (for example if I need to update the wifi or flash light). Is it possible to install windows mobile6.5 back to the phone if I didn't like the android? I heard that android use the battery more than windows (the battery dies faster with android than windows)?



    Thank youWhat is the latest android version for htc hd2?
    The Lastest Version of Android OS from phones is Gingerbread 2.3 OS



    can you install Android OS on a HTC HD2... yes, ONLY if the Android OS ROM is available for the HD2... Google "Android OS for HTC HD2".... if a developer has made a Gingerbread ROM for it, then your in luck... if not, then settle for whats given!



    You can put win6.5 back on the phone if you dont like android os.... part of the instructions above from this ROM website will have you back up your current ROM (win6.5) in the event you dont read carefully and end up bricking your phone....



    Update wifi or LCD flashlight... HUH???????? These are hardware related, not software OS ROM related... you will need to buy these trinkets/components from HTC directly and install the hardware yourself via a screw driver and sodder gun



    Battery is user dependant... meaning, the more crap you have on the 7 home screens and more notifications you have via the many apps you install and how many emails sync to your phone and how often you use the phone and how bright the screen is... well.. you get the idea... I call this "the dumb Noob Smartphone Standard"...



    Now... lets me be VERY blunt... a win phone is NOT an android phone. Moreover, its a very OLD phone.... Dont be surprised if the Android ROMs out there for HD2 suck... Internals require permissions and code in order to access hardware. If the developer got these permissions for the HD2 code, the he/she can make a great ROM from the HD2... if not, and he/she got only half the codes, then you make have a screen and violume buttons, but maybe you wont have a camera... get the drift... Flashing ROMs are dont at YOUR own risk... hence, back up your win6.5 ROM... READ THE WEBSITE... ONLY DOWNLOAD ROMS FROM TRUSTED WEBSITES... good luck



    PS... if you have no idea what I just said above... THEN DONT ROM!

    What are the differences between a simple phone and android phone?

    What is a android tablet and what does it do?

    Simply, what does an android tablet do and what can you use it for? Also what can like go on it?What is a android tablet and what does it do?
    A tablet is a type of PC, but it is in a compact 'slate' form that doesn't include keyboard, mouse, DVD drive and other extra parts that only add to size and cost.



    Tablets are in short specifically made for consuming content - that means watching movies, surfing the net, checking emails, playing games and reading e-books and other documents.



    They are light and compact so you can easily slip them into your bag.



    Rather than a mouse you just touch the screen where you want to make a selection. This can make typing a lot a little difficult, but for the odd email they're fine and great for games.



    One of the best things about Android is that you can download thousands of free apps, applications, that allow you to do almost anything - games, calendars, keeping fit, music players, e-book readers; you can get apps for almost anything and generally as I said they are free.



    You can also download music and movies and put them on your memory card and then watch them.



    If you connect to the internet with Wifi you can even use the net for free and make skype calls for free etc.



    I buy my tablets from Virtual village - they have a wide range of sizes from 5 to 10 inch tablets - I would go for larger sizes such as 10 inch if possible as they are clearer when it comes to watching movies.

    I think both are good. My favorite apps are: Evernote, hootsuite, google voice, Stitcher and Instapaper. All are on both platforms. There are more free apps on Android- for example Angry Birds is on both but is free on Android.

    The iPhone is better integrated but the Android has the ability to have different features.

    The Xperia X10 is a pretty good phone, but it is getting a little old. If you like Sony phones, consider the new Sony XPeria Arc.What are your favorite applications on Android or/and iPhone? And why do you prefer iPhone or Android?
    Both phones are in high quality, it just depends what you would consider "high quality". I've had both phones in the past and I both had enjoyed them. Both have a good selection of apps on a category you were looking for, but iPhone's (or Apple's in general) apps seem to be more useful and less junky. Because when I had used the Marketplace (for Android), I had come upon many useless apps. For one thing, my favorite game was NinJump. I had downloaded them on both phones, however, Apple's seemed to have better quality, but the Android was still satisfactory. Overall, they are at about the same level, but maybe Apple is a little more experienced as far as useful apps.



    About the Sony Ericsson, I wouldn't take the risk because Sony isn't known for making phones, however it maybe in good quality, but I don't know since I have never heard of it.What are your favorite applications on Android or/and iPhone? And why do you prefer iPhone or Android?

    However if you got the extra cash then go for the Samsung galaxy S II. They have improved upon the sgs in every single category. Its not like apple where they just made minor changes and then made it out like its evolutionary.

    First try installing the latest firmware.

    I turned off my internet and switched to 2g mode inorder to save battery.

    You can do this by going to settings%26gt;wireless and network%26gt;mobile networks%26gt;use packet data (deactivate it)

    then go to network mode and change to wcdma only.

    You could try recalibrating your battery. Basically just drain it completely then fully charge it again.

    Will using an android cellphone with external memory affect its performance?

    I was told that some android applications have problems when installed on an external memory card. For example, some wont install or run when on external SD cards. Is this true?



    Also, what kind of card should i get? Would a class 4 SDHC card be enough?Will using an android cellphone with external memory affect its performance?
    If you're using FroYo (OS version 2.2) or later, apps should automatically install as much as they can to the SD card and leave enough 'footprint' on the phone memory to know it's there, etc. You can also move apps to the SD card through the Manage Applications menu, for the apps that support it. (This is generally necessary with Amazon Appstore purchases, for whatever reason.)



    Many custom ROMs will allow you to install fully to the SD card. The impact depends on the appplication and how it's set up. It can also confuse the phone if you remove the SD card- if you have a widget or a program running that's entirely on the SD card and the SD card is removed, you don't have that widget/app until you replace the card.





    The type of card depends on the phone- some phones have size limits. (For example, my old LG Ally couldn't handle cards %26gt;16gb.) Otherwise, it mostly depends on what you want to do- if you want to store music/documents/etc to the card or install a hundred apps and just let them sit there, a larger-capacity card is probably good. If you use streaming/cloud services (like Amazon Cloud/MP3, Google Music/Docs, etc.) instead, you won't have to worry as much about storage space and can get something w/ less capacity.

    What's the difference between android 2.1 and 2.2?

    I am trying to decide if I should get the samsung moment or intercept soon, and I think it is going to comedown to if android 2.2 on the intercept will make the phone much better than the moment, despite the moment having a much better screen, internet speed, and camera flash. Please tell me the difference and which of these phones you think is better?What's the difference between android 2.1 and 2.2?
    Android 2.2 (Froyo) will be anywhere from 2-5x faster (both web browsing and overall navigation of the phone), will provide the option to store apps on the memory card, will feature automatic app updating, will allow voice dial with a Bluetooth, will support wireless tethering (up to the carrier whether to allow), will have full Flash support, and much moreWhat's the difference between android 2.1 and 2.2?

    What is the difference between the Android OS and the Windows Mobile OS? Which one's better?

    I want to buy a HTC phone. I could get an Android OS or Windows Mobile OS. What is the difference? Which one do you think is better?What is the difference between the Android OS and the Windows Mobile OS? Which one's better?
    The simplest answer to your question is this. A recent consumer survey asked smartphone users how satisfied they are with their phones, 56% of windows mobile users said they were very satisfied, while 77% of android users said they were very satisfied.



    I've used both. I was a winmo user for many years, but simply couldn't resist the droid when it came out. It simply blows windows mobile out of the water in every way. There is absolutely no advantage of winmo over android.What is the difference between the Android OS and the Windows Mobile OS? Which one's better?
    Android is the new Linux based OS from Google.

    Windows Mobile OS is the old Windows based OS from Microsoft.



    Make your own choice -- the Windows Mobile OS probably fits better currently for business applications, but my choice would probably be Android.What is the difference between the Android OS and the Windows Mobile OS? Which one's better?
    Both are mobile operating system. Difference is in their manufacturing companies. Android OS is a google product while Windows mobile OS is a Microsoft product.

    What do you think about the Android marketplace?

    How do you think the Android marketplace compares to iTunes? I'm trying to decide whether to get a Xoom or an iPad, and I've heard buying, downloading, and managing apps on an Android device is a pain compared to doing it on an Apple device.



    I know that Android is much more open than iOS, which is a definite plus in its favor, but if it's more difficult to actually get them on the device, then I'm not sure if it's really worth it.



    What have your experiences with it been like?What do you think about the Android marketplace?
    I have completely said bye iOS and almost every devices of Apple, Android devices are desired the most all around the globe. If you ask me to share my personal experience than trust me its Android device that matter not the hard ware brand like MOTOROLA or any other expensive company. Market place is not a pain at all. It works perfectly all rights.

    To be honest even there is no need of buying Xoom cause now many android manufacturing companies are providing very cool android devices including tablet Pc at a cheap cost. Like the one i am using is called 'Ozi-tab' manufactured by some HONG KONG based company Ozitechnology and i dont regret buying it. I wont suggest you to spend that much money on ipad or xoom, give a thought over that android tablets as welll.What do you think about the Android marketplace?
    All you have to do is go to the market and download a app if its free if it costs momey you just have to add a debit/credit card # to download the first time. Its not hard at all

    The Android SDK uses Java. So java is where you are going to want to start.



    -------First you will want to learn the basics of java through online tutorials:

    --This is a video tutorial I find very nice, very beginner friendly, it's about 3 and a half hours

    --The reason I want you to use Eclipse is that there are Android Developer Tools for Eclipse

    --Once done here search Google for more java tutorials and click on appropriate links



    -------To install Eclipse and Java

    --Don't worry about versions just grab the latest



    -------Then look through the developers guide from Google to learn about the Android framework and API

    http://developer.android.com/guide/index.htmlHow do I learn to create an app for Android?
    Learn Java.



    Download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.h鈥?/a> and the IDE Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ - get the one for Java. Follow the Quick Start instructions on the Android SDK download page.

    FroYo is not an app. It's an OS update, like going from Windows XP to Windows 7.



    Each phone provider and manufacturer works together to release the FroYo update for each specific phone. If your phone doesn't have the space, memory, or processing power (or the manufacturer has other phones with larger market share to pay attention to), you probably won't see one.



    You may be able to install a custom ROM with FroYo, but this voids your warranty. Again, it depends on how strong the mod community is for your phone.

    Basically you have the white mobile document editor and the black mobile document editor. They both do the same thing, are are both equally entitled to what the Creator [ie: Droid] has intended for all document editors. The white mobile document editors [ie: the free mobile document editors] simply took the freedom from the black mobile document editor solely for the fact that the black mobile document editor was different. Eventually, this caused the Mobile Document Editor Civil war, in which the black mobile document editors were freed, although tensions rose. After the desegregation acts of the 1960s, all Mobile Document Editors are considered free.

    What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?

    Chrome OS is a Linux based operating system, so I guess C is the language to go.

    Android, yes you're right, you definitely need Java and I think XML too if you want :)

    Good luck.What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?
    Android and Chrome OS are two different items. And programming for one does not mean that you will program for the other.



    To program Android application, you will need to learn Java and the Android SDK API. This will allow you to make calls to the Android JVM to interact with the phone. Unless your application uses XML, then you do not have to know XML.



    Chrome OS, is an OS built by Google. You can think of Chrome as another operating system like Windows and IOS. Chrome OS is suppose to be lightweight and only support browser applications.What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?

    Samsung Vibrant Android Phone (T-Mobile)

    The first thing you notice about the Vibrant is its big beautiful screen. The 480x800 AMOLED screen is sharp and beautiful, easy to type on, and shows plenty of detail.

    -The phone itself is thin and light, with a nice curve near the bottom to hold onto.

    -1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor is faster in benchmarks than a 1 GHz Snapdragon and offers enhanced graphics procesing

    -The buttons are not buttons but touch sensitive surfaces, like a flat screen TV.

    -16gb of onboard storage is awesome. Add a 32gb microsdhc card and you've got 48gb, more than the iPhone.

    -3G connection takes advantage of T-mobile's ever expanding 3G network, currently the fastest of any carrier in many cities.

    -5 megapixel camera takes decent pictures and records video at 720p.

    What's the problem with ALL the latest Android phones getting updated to ICS?

    What's the hold up %26amp; why are brand new android phones not coming preloaded with ICS? Android is DROPPING the ball and will LOSE customers if they don't fix this issue ASAP.What's the problem with ALL the latest Android phones getting updated to ICS?
    "Android is DROPPING the ball and will LOSE customers if they don't fix this issue ASAP"

    Android and Google have nothing to do with it. They just make the operating system. It isn't their responsibility to hold manufacturers' hands getting it onto their devices (just like it's not Microsoft's responsibility to get newest versions of Windows onto Dell, HP, Sony, etc. PCs). Furthermore, I can guarantee you that the vast majority of Android users have no idea what version of Android their phone is running, so they're not going to lose any customers because the newest version of Android isn't on devices within a month of being released.

    "What's the hold up %26amp; why are brand new android phones not coming preloaded with ICS?"

    Your question title talked about phones getting updated but then you asked about them coming preloaded, so I'll answer both, starting with preloaded. Brand new android phones are not coming preloaded with ICS because of a number of factors. It takes manufactures some time to get all of the drivers and what not working (and tested) for a phone before they can release it. It's not just a matter of loading up the source code direct from Google and you're good to go. And all that effort is just if manufactures wanted to put stock Android on their device, which most do not. Most manufactures spend a shitload of time morphing stock android into their own piece of crap versions.

    All of this stuff takes time. Couple that with the fact that phones being released today have been in development for over a year, before ICS was even conceived. They were completed and tested with Gingerbread so that is how they are being released. Now that ICS is out, manufactures can begin that long process I mentioned above, to start getting phones out with ICS preloaded probably starting second quarter of this year (maybe a few might trickle out sooner).

    As for updating old phones, that is a similar situation in that the manufacture has to spend a lot of time developing/updating/testing drivers for their devices and making it all work with the newest version of Android (this is the case for all upgrades, not just ICS), and then don't forget all that time they have to spend to layer their own UI on top. The difference in this case is that they're not getting paid to do this. You already bought the phone. The manufacturer is in no way obligated to spend time and money that they don't get a return on to develop upgrades for phones that are already out the door. If you didn't like your phone when you bought it- If you bought it with the hopes that some day it could be something better than it was on that day, then that is all your own fault. The manufacturer doesn't owe you anything. Buy a phone that you like and can live with for the duration of your 2 year contract, and live with it. If you cant, then either buy off contract or upgrade the phone yourself. My HTC incredible that is 2 years old is running ICS very smoothly without any help from HTC or Verizon.What's the problem with ALL the latest Android phones getting updated to ICS?

    There's also an android-x86.com version. There's several options for 'x86' to work that include running Android from bootup on a CDROM, installing to HD and using Grub, using a Qemu or using VirtualBox. Android is derived from Debian. There's i'net chatter Fedora can be used.

    What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?

    I want to go to school for learning to develop Android/Chrome OS. I read that Java and XML is all I all need. I would like to develop a few applications and a game. What else would I need?What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?
    Chrome OS is a Linux based operating system, so I guess C is the language to go.

    Android, yes you're right, you definitely need Java and I think XML too if you want :)

    Good luck.What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?
    Android and Chrome OS are two different items. And programming for one does not mean that you will program for the other.



    To program Android application, you will need to learn Java and the Android SDK API. This will allow you to make calls to the Android JVM to interact with the phone. Unless your application uses XML, then you do not have to know XML.



    Chrome OS, is an OS built by Google. You can think of Chrome as another operating system like Windows and IOS. Chrome OS is suppose to be lightweight and only support browser applications.What programming languages should I learn for Android OS?
