What is Android?

Android is a popular operating platform licensed under Google, which is found on a multitude of smartphones and tablet devices today.

The platform’s chief competitors in the market include Apple’s iOS (powers the iPad) and RIM’s Blackberry platform, although Android is keeping up a blistering momentum and taking over the market at an impressive pace.

An “Android Tablet” is a tablet powered by the Android operating system.
