Android getting very popular and certainly if you want to be uptode with all you need to read basic information about this amazing software because we have all the basics for you to meet with android today, Android is the name of the software that an increasing number of today’s phones run on. It’s developed by Google and comes with a range of Google features, most notably Search and Maps, installed as standard.
This means you can easily search for information on the web and for directions from your phone, as you would on your computer.

You can also access other Google services, like Gmail, Google Earth, YouTube and Google Calendar on an Android phone.
What can an Android phone do?
Android phones are highly customisable and as such can be altered to suit your tastes and needs. You can check your Facebook and Twitter profiles through a variety of apps making it ideal for social networking. Through the calendar you can set reminders from your desktop or your phone and on the latest version of Android you can send links to and from your computer and vice versa.
Another neat feature of Android is that it automatically backs up your contacts for you. When you set up an Android phone you’ll need to create a Google Account or sign in with an existing one. Every time you save a number to the address book of your Android phone it will be synced to your Google Account. The benefit of this is if you lose your phone all of your numbers will be saved. The next time you get an Android phone and sign in with your Google Account, all of your contacts and friends numbers will be displayed in your new phone’s address book.

How can I get apps on an Android phone?
The majority of Apps are downloaded from the Android Market (the equivalent of Apple’s iTunes App Store). Most of these are free but there are some premium apps as well that you’ll have to pay for.
You’ll have to set up an account with Google Checkout in order to pay for apps. You can pay either by debit or credit card. This takes less than five minutes to set up and is best done from your computer. Some developers choose to make their apps available to download freely outside the Android Market and directly from their own sites. In order to download these you’ll have to change some settings on your phone before visiting the site on your Android phone’s web browser.
