Here are the top five benefits of Android from a business perspective
#1 Low Barrier to Entry
There is no costly licensing fees or development tools. In fact, it is possible to develop applications without spending a dime. The primary costs fall into three categories: development and testing expertise, royalty fees, and test devices.
#2 An Ideal Platform for Companies New To Mobile
Android applications are written in Java, with a rich set of libraries. Anyone with a working knowledge of Java can get Android applications up and running with relative ease. Java programmers are plentiful in the marketplace (especially in this economy) and the Android platform documentation is very good.
#3 A Variety of Distribution Mechanisms
Unlike other mobile platforms, Android applications can be distributed in a variety of ways. You can use any number of third-party application stores but you can also create your own distribution channels: for vertical market application purposes, to develop new application stores, and even put it behind corporate walls. If you build it, you can publish it.
#4 Open and Free Platform
License free, royalty free, and open source. That’s Android. No costly licensing fees. Also, since the underlying architecture of the Android SDK is open-source, you can watch upcoming releases and provide feedback to the Android development team. This makes the Android platform very compelling for handset manufacturers and wireless operators… which translates to better opportunities for developers to monetize.
#5 Best Mobile Platform for Inter-Application Integration
The Android platform has is the best mobile platform for inter-application and inter-process architectures. Do you have a suite of applications in mind? Want to integrate them or cross promote them? Android blows the competitive platforms away in this area. Most other platforms allow background processes (at best) but the Android platform is set up to allow for trust relationships between applications for a more tightly knit experience for users.
#Android and A-1 Technology:
we’ve developed applications for many other platforms, including iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm, BREW, J2ME, etc. We consider this is to be a fairly unbiased list of what we consider to be the most attractive features of the Android platform. What do you think? Is there something about the Android platform that you consider tempting, interesting or alluring?

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE MORE EASIER AND FASTEST
The e-commerce and SEO landscape is always changing. Reacting to those changes is a significant competitive advantage.
How quickly did you get your Like button or Google Analytics' new asynchronous tracking? How soon were you ready for the iPad? How quickly are you able to get A/B tests live, and how long after do you implement the winning pages? Think about affiliates, for example. You may have affiliates that have driven significant revenue to your site because some of them can be so quick to adapt to new SEO, PPC, and other strategies. Or, consider the online-only competitors that came out of nowhere because they had better sites than the established leaders.
Where to Improve
CMS flexibility: Have a powerful CMS, custom to what you do, giving more writers, editors, merchandisers, and designers access to what they need.
Platform and module flexibility: Ask yourself what happens in six months when you don't like everything about a platform anymore. Can you add and customize modules? Should you buy or build solutions?
Team: No matter the architecture choices you've made, someone is going to have to actually make the updates. Is your team dedicated to the website? Or do they have other duties slowing them down?
Budget: Team and budget seem to be part of a seesaw in some ways. If you don't have much of a team, you should at least have some budget to outsource, or vice versa.
Red tape: Does it take 20 signatures to change the alt text on an image? Teams need to be allowed to be able to make decisions on their own.
Testing: As you make more changes, you can expect errors and copy mistakes. You should be able to fix them faster conversely. Budget for keeping up with regular testing across many browsers and devices to help catch them faster.
You still need great content, good copywriting, good marketing ideas, and more to have a successful site. But everything you want to do with your online presence can be made better when you are fast and nimble. A fast, flexible site is more forgiving of bad decisions when good ones can be rolled out soon.
