Googles Android: The Difference

The major difference between Googles planned open source mobile platform called Android and the normal mobile phone operating systems are that the source code for Googles Android is open source, so it means that it can be customised easily by people who know how to.

You may be thinking how can this help me? Well more people will have access to the code compared to closed platforms like Windows Mobile Platform and the ones used by Nokia etc. so more people will be competing against each other to put out programs that they hope will be popular and catch on.

In essence and also in practise it will create a circle of high productivity for the mobile phone and I think that this will be one of the major milestones in the history of mobile phones.
