In 2007, a major revolution was about to be unleashed globally in the IT industry. It was the launching of Android, which is a mobile Operating System (OS) that is currently developed by global search engine major Google. Android is based on the Linux kernel and is designed primarily for mobiles, tablets, and other touch-screen mobile gadgets and devices.

Initially, Google was developed by Android, Inc., which Google bought in 2005. Next, Android was unveiled in 2007, at the same time when the Open Handset Alliance was founded. This is an association of hardware, software, as well as telecommunication companies, that are devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.
