Summary:
Android is a software
platform <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_%28computing%29> and operating system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system> for mobile
devices <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_device> based on the Linux
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux> operating system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system> and developed by Google <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google> and the Open
Handset Alliance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Handset_Alliance> . This presentation will start with the over-arching goal of
the OHA and Android projects, and then demonstrate how to get up and running
with Android basics as quick as possible using Eclipse and the Android
development kit. We will also discuss where Android is going in the
marketplace, and how the OHA plans to compete with the iPhone.
