running in the background, so officially you
shouldn’t care about that.

25. Conclusion
• Android is a truly open, free development platform based on
Linux and open source. Handset makers can use and
customize the platform without paying a royalty.
• A component-based architecture inspired by Internet mash-
ups. Parts of one application can be used in another in ways
not originally envisioned by the developer. can even replace
built-in components with own improved versions. This will
unleash a new round of creativity in the mobile space.
• Android is open to all: industry, developers and users
• Participating in many of the successful open source projects
• Aims to be as easy to build for as the web.
• Google Android is stepping into the next level of Mobile
Internet
