Anyone who knows me will understand how boring I can be when it comes to talking about Android and how it has taken the smartphone world by storm over the past year or two. Google’s Operating System has proved even more popular than the Apple iPhone.

Smartphone manufacturers have been left trying to catch up with Android and devices like Blackberry and Nokia looking particularly old hat at the time of writing this. The innovative interface to the amazing applications that are on offer. Here are some reasons why..

Open Source
One of the superb things about Android is there are no limits or restrictions. It’s easy to access or transfer all your files without having to use the dreaded iTunes, developers can create games and applications without having to get permission from Android before they can be uploaded to the Android Marketplace.

Variety
With Android, you can choose from different phones which is great for defing the type of phone for the user. My mum loves her smaller screen and more simple Wildfire while i love my HTC desire for its bigger processing power.

Sense
Different manufacturers feature different user interfaces, making it possible to choose a phone that best suits your requirements. Each manufacturer offers different look features and Applications over the top of Android.

Assesabliity
With Android you’ll use an attractive touchscreen with finger-friendly icons, that is intuitive and easy to use. But its not just the pleasent interactive surface that makes it a winner, unlike Apple you can experine the full world of websites with Flash, Python, Java. Google are not telling you what you can and can not see through its systems.

Free applications
With the ability to develop aplications for the Android Marketplace without needing verification from Android, there are thousands of apps available for nearly any need. The choice of free apps is staggering and is growing at a massive rate. Your Android device keeps you entertained when on the move. It’s also easier than ever to download and install applicastions to your memory cards.
