Android

Today I read about Android. Android is a Linux based cell phone platform.Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz on his blog said he would 'like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort.' So I get little interest and want to know about Android, since the name is new to me. Then I refered the following website http://code.google.com/android/documentation.html. The whole information one can get from here.I get some information from this and sharing here. Like Java this Android also has development kit( Android SDK) and APIs.Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.
