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.

The popularity of Android devices:- When any thing comes out with name and fame all tries to get it through good and bad means. Same is the case with Android application platform.

The existence of malware:- The concern about the android programming security issue is very sensitive one because malware is present over there. If the concept of malware not present in android than the google have being feeling safe but now they have to think and make their platform a secure one.
The security companies are observing:- As we all know that the android platform is open source one and there is always a chance for hacker to hack any programming while other brands like apple are regarded as secure one so every company is pointing on android platform

Think Android!! Think App!!! Think Globally!!!
Google is the mother of The Google Chrome and Android operating systems. Android is built for touch, while Chrome OS is meant to be used with a keyboard and pointer.The Google Chrome and Android operating systems are Google's two newly developed systems that they're working on. Google OS is mainly based on the Google Chrome browser that runs internet applications. It is designed to be a really simple, user-friendly computer operating system that can be used on numerous devices. Now you ask,, where will the platform actually fit in?
Some say that Google is on a diehard mission to take over the world. They already have a world-dominating search engine, PPC program, Android OS, Google maps with an eerily accurate portrayal of everyone's neighborhood, and much more! What other Google features can you think of off the top of your head?
What operating system will ultimately come out on top? Android or iOS? If Android can manage to tackle Apple and the touch screen tablet market, will it stop there? Knowing Google, probably not. Since 1998, Google has been effectively taking control of the web. Android started on phones and is now being used for tablets. Where will we find Android next?
In my opinion, I think we're going to find it just about everywhere. From the next generation of kitchen appliances to WiFi connected cars.

Android Application Development -It's unstoppable.
The Android,is a popular piece of kit. Android is an open source free operating system because HTC Sony and many others have adopted it as the system of choice for all their smart phones and here's why. The fact it's open source means they don't have to pay for it, which is obviously a great start but it goes further than that. The fact it's open source means everyone and anyone can develop application for it, modify it heck they can do whatever the like with it.Originally it was planned to be used as a mobile phone OS but it is starting to flex its muscles and expand its horizons. As an Android mobile programming OS . A huge subculture has grown around Android developers, Android modifiers and Android programmers, all making killer apps that they can put out onto the market with no licensing costs and either distribute for free or make money from. The development of these applications is becoming fast and will soon surpass the Apple's application store. Now the question is what this all has to do with the Apple's iPad. Android OS is expanding its operations and currently many manufacturers are using this operating system on their Tablets. Android can do anything which iPad does and in the half price. Android OS are yet not persuasive and glib but due to it's closed architecture these OS are offering such features which iPad do not. These are supported with HDMI ports that can output 720 pixels video. This means that they also behave as a portable High Definition media player. To store the data or to retrieve it, there are memory card slots available. Android users have access to innumerable applications and many more.
Since Android Programming is an open source OS, all the smart phones, net books and Tablets using this operating system will tend to choose this platform since they do not have to worry about upgrading the OS. Over time, the Android will be the dominant operating system for mobile cellphones. Android software and programs aren't just simple pieces of software that are easy to code. They are quite complex and they require the sending of data over the Internet. This is not an easy task and it requires some understanding of Internet protocols. All these require a good team of Android programmers that are experts in their own areas. Android Application developers have to work on their own part of the program, and at the end, an expert will combine all parts into a single coherent piece of software. After that, someone else will have to do extensive testing of the program in order to see that there are no bugs or problems with the software.For developing any kind of Android application on time A-1 Technology is the right choice for you.
