Android is finally beating up iPhone and blackberry phones, in U.S market. After evaluating the statics of the Android sale chart we can say that 33% of the U.S citizens owns a smart-phone, Android is on first number in the race and Blackberry stands second with 28.9 % and on third is iPhone with 25.2 % sale rate. But still android needs a lot of work to do so, that it can gain the trust of the customers in the market.
- The biggest draw back of Android application development platform is the inability of smart-phone to stay current on software. So, Android developers should reduce fragmentation. As apple stressing on new software to increase its portability and ability with new operating system like apple the android should also be in touch with latest software as the latest phones are using a version of android that became updated four months ago. So, its a time for something new.
- Android is very well known for its open source platform as codes are all ready available and you can just go on its store and develop any application with the help of given codes. It is heard from one source that Google is now paying attention to the " Non fragmentation clauses " upon licensees. It is quite upset for that users who always want to see his handsets different from others. I really appreciate this but it is very much risky concept for Google because if the other OS proves more attractive to users like Window Phone 7 they will ultimately move towards it.

Tips For Saving Battery Life- Android
The fast evolving Android mobile operating system has made android more popular and today they are preferred by more people .Daily we see number of new updates added to Android platform but still Android phones do have share of woes of insufficient battery power. Let's discuss how we can save battery life.
Switch off Notifications:- It will be better if you switch off your sound notifications and as well as LED notifications to save battery. It is true that they silently drain your battery power more than you can imagine.
Switch off unnecessary services:- Services such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS need not be kept switched ON always. Bluetooth is required only when you need to transfer files or use a Bluetooth headset, while GPS is required only if you are having difficulty finding your way around some place while traveling. Switch off GPS Geo location features in any other app that makes use of it as well.
Disable Adobe Flash:- Adobe Flash is required for the functionality of certain websites. Flash gives an enriching web experience but also consumes a lot of battery. Switching it off is one possible way of reducing battery consumption. You can set the browser to load Flash only when you want it to load. To do this, open the internet browser, go to Settings > Enable Plug-ins and set it to On Demand.
Use Battery Usage Screen:- Android phones have a nifty little utility, which lets you monitor what apps consume the most power and thus affecting battery life the most. This is the Battery Usage Screen and you can access it by opening Settings > About Phone > Battery use. You can then decide what action needs to be taken.
