Android answers call for free smartphone software

,----[ Quote ]
| Google decided to create a better operating system for mobile phones, just as 
| Microsoft’s Windows helps a user to operate a PC. Unlike Windows, however, 
| Google’s software for mobiles, called Android, would be free and “open 
| source”.   
| 
| The open source concept has been used in other technological advances ranging 
| from web browsers, such as Mozilla’s Firefox, to operating systems, such as 
| Linux. It means that programmers and developers can have access to the code 
| behind the software, essentially its DNA.

| Rich Miner even went after Apple's handheld darling.  "Once you have devices
| out there from Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and so on, there's a much larger
| potential market on Android than for the iPhone," he said.  "[T]here's a
| single manufacturer, it's targeted at a particular demographic, and it falls
| far short of the 1 billion mobile phones sold every year worldwide."
