2. Android is a Linux-based operating

as smartphones and tablet computers.

later purchased in 2005.

14. More men than women use Android
For just about any product that can be marketed to
the public, there are certain demographics that
marketers keep in mind. For Android, their main
demographic is men with about only about 27% of
users being female. Users are also mainly between
the ages of 18 and 44 with about 60% of them
being under the age of 34. Android users use their
phone for more than just texting and making
phone calls; about 34% of their time is spent
checking their emails and 21% playing games, with
one of the top games being Angry Birds.

15. Will Android be completely open as
previously thought? It seems not and a
good reason for saying this is the fact
that the complete Android code hasn't
been disclosed to the developer
community and it is likely that Google
will not disclose the crux of the
Android code for reasons best known
to it. Be ready for less than full
Android development then.

16. You must be wondering hoe does Google benefit
from keeping the Android platform open source
especially when it doesn't take a dime from the
application distributed through the online
Android Market. Well Google the old hat wants
to dominate the mobile advertising space just
like it has dominated the PC web space. So don't
be surprised if you see a pop up every now and
then while browsing on your Android phone,
after all Google doesn't collect the huge chunk
of your personal browsing data for nothing, does
it?

17. Android outsells Apple in one out
of 6 U.S. states. There are eight
states where Android may be a
bigger seller but unfortunately
they are the lower-population
states in this country.

18. Advertisers are more interested in
Android. U.S. surveys indicate that
there are more ad impressions for
Android which isn’t surprising since
it’s a Google-based phone and
they’re stellar with ads.

19. While the iPhone can only run one app
at a time the Android is a proper multi-
tasking mobile OS that can run
multiple apps like the Google Maps,
media player, browser at the same
time without any hiccups. Seems like
iPhone has some catching up to do at
least in one department.

20. You have many more handset options with
Android. The iPhone is just the iPhone. Android
is, of course, a platform which means that many
different people are making multiple handsets
based on Android. This isn’t necessarily good or
bad for either party. On the one hand, you have
more choices with Android. On the other hand,
you know exactly what you’re getting with
Apple.
