Android

Overview
Android (wikipedia entry) is a software platform and operating system written by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, designed for use in small form factor devices and smartphones.

A good place to get started with technical information is to read the Android FAQ

This page was a placeholder page until I finished my more comprehensive Android Portal. The portal is still  under construction... , but it has now been published as the main entry-point to the Android information on this wiki.
