A few years ago almost no one had heard of the Android system, where Nokia's Symbian system was at the top, and BlackBerry in the days of Azza, and the iPhone, which the king of hearts and minds of fans climb a missile. Android was shy in its infancy, and no one believes that Symbian will disappear after a few years, and that the BlackBerry will strive to maintain the one percent of the market, and that Apple will, after years quoting and reproducing the features of Android.
Although you know Android is well now, but there are several points probably did not know before, we will submit to you now:
10- Google has not developed Android
Do not be surprised! It is true that Google made the first Android smart phone system in the world, but did not begin its development. Where he was the founding of Android Inc Company in 2003 in California by both "Andy Robin," "Rich Miner," "Nick Sears" and "Chris White." In 2005, Google bought Android and stayed most of the original owners of the company are working in the Android project except "Nick Sears," as the founder of Android and left the owner of the idea, "Andy Rubin" later Google Inc. to start his own company.
Having acquired the Google Android developed by and pushed him to the top. But it is not the first person who developed.
9- Samsung refused to buy Android
Imagine that Android can be had for Samsung, not Google, since Android developers have his offer on the Samsung and rejected the offer, before they are net -aaisin- to Google, which agreed to buy it!
In late 2004 directed "Andy Robin," and his companions to South Korea to convince Samsung to buy the operating system because of the need to finance the team to complete the development of the project. But the reaction of the company's management team was laughing at Robin and his companions, and said to him: "You are the six people, are you under the influence of the drug?".
But Google has been more far-sighted, since acquired Android in the beginning of the year 2005, and after only a few days for $ 50 million, he said, Rubin and his team developed the operating system with the company, while seen as a better acquisition undertaken by Google since its inception until now.
8- Android was supposed to be directed to smart cameras
Before more than 10 years, and before that acquires Google on Android and up to what it is now, "Andy Robin," and his co-founder of Android indigenous planning to programming this platform to improve the communication between digital cameras and computers, not as it is now; a platform to run smart phones.
According to the "Robin" explained in an earlier statement to him the podium, which has been working on them at the outset to be a running camera system, exactly the same, which has become for mobile phones, and because of the maturation phone market equipped with cameras have been reconsidered to make the podium private phones. The founders decided then that digital cameras are not a big market enough, he said, "Robin," he was apprehensive then compete with Microsoft and Nokia.
7- Google's redesign of Android after the disclosure of iPhone
This information will love Apple lovers may see it as evidence that Google (reduced) Apple. Well, we do not deny that Google and other companies affected by Balaifun. Phone that you see in the picture above is a prototype of Android, where Google has been designed to work with a full keyboard keys solid like Blackberry phones. But after Apple announced the iPhone in 2007, Google has decided to dispense with the idea and designed as an operating system for touch screen completely. This does not mean that Google imitated Apple, because Android system significantly different from iOS as we know, but Google influenced by the idea of full touch screen and found it better and more sophisticated, and decided to adopt this principle.
6- Large companies did not see in the Android threat
In 2007, Google has an alliance with a number of companies for the purpose of the announcement of the Android system. At the time, it was in control of the mobile phone market system Symbian, Blackberry, Palm and Windows at the same time Apple was announced for the first generation of iPhone.
Most of the dominant companies in that time were not expecting that the Android system to succeed, or even be a competition, and they thought that the system would be the fate of many of the systems that tried to compete, a failure. Companies also did not see any danger or threat thereof, to the adoption of Android on the Linux kernel, and officials had companies calling Linux name "stainless system management!"
5- Android is the fastest systems prevalent in the world and the fastest growing
Android is not the fastest growing systems in the world of cell phones, but also the fastest systems prevalent at all. According to recent statistics the number of operating system Android devices has reached more than 1.4 billion devices, and this happens in about 7 years (an average of 140 million per year) and it is thanks to the Android faster and more regulations and widespread growth in the world. The only rivals for the title is the only Facebook.
4- Android runs on a large number of platforms
Many people may know that Android supports mobile phones, tablets, smart watches, but some may not know that Android supports smart cameras, TVs, cars, gaming platforms, and other devices. As some companies have produced some household equipment operating Bondroed, such as microwave ovens and even refrigerators!
3- أAnyone can design and develop applications for Android ... for free
If you love those who develop applications and you have an idea for an application, is simply that anyone can develop and design your application on the Android and modest cost. While many platforms require a subscription before the development of applications on operating systems. For example you could not develop iOS applications only on Apple computers is expensive, as you need to pay a subscription of $ 100 per year. On Android you can start developing your application on any device (Windows, Linux, Mac) is completely free of charge. The cost to open an account to deploy applications in the Google Play store only pay $ 25 for once.
2- Where they came from Android logo?
Where many current Android logo came may wonder. In fact, the person responsible for the design of the famous Android logo, are Russian-designed name "Irina Block", and when the Google, drawing on their services, I asked to be a logo simple, innovative and has a robot, and is interesting in the subject that Irina inspired by Android, which currently we know through the logo design banners used in water courses (where the head and parties not connected with the body), so she added, using the same idea of the robot Vhsalna the Android logo we know today.
1- Eight out of ten smartphone users have Android
If we assume that you are within the statistical ideal conditions, and landed far to the street and I chose at random the first ten people encounter carrying a smart phone, it will be eight (or maybe nine) of them have a phone system Android, while per carry or remaining two phone one of the other systems (iPhone, Windows Phone , .. etc).
According to the latest statistics, Android owns more than 80 percent of the market share, while the remaining share divided on other operating systems combined.
