Linux will take mobile with Android, plus Android turns one!

October 25th, 2009 · No Comments

While we all love linux here at LInux System Admin Blog – we do however have different favorites for mobile devices.   Yes, the big favorite is the iPhone, not for me though.  I have been excited about the Android OS and the devices ever since I have heard about it.

This week the devices have been available to the public for a year.  So we can celebrate the one year anniversary of the Android.  So what has happened in a year?  Well, actually that much.  The Android has been noticed, but has NOT made earth shattering impact in its first year.  It doesn’t matter, I believe that the momentum for it to become the dominant OS on mobile devices has been put in motion.

Here is why you will be seeing a lot of linux on the mobile devices:

  • Android is an Open OS – TRANSLATION:  Free to the OMG and carriers
  • Android is being adapted by many device manufacturers, HTC, Samsung, Motorla, plush many more
  • Android has a growing developer base and a healthy app growth rate

Here is some more google kool aid – enjoy
