When you have internet with you, you are rest assured that the total world is with you at your finger tips.  Mr. Muralidharan has given a dimension of "Android" .  

As I gained from Wikipidea and other portals I am providing here some more information for you Mr.Robin.  

Android is a Linux based operating system for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google.

Google purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005. Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in a customized version of Java  Apps can be downloaded from third-party sites or through online stores such as Android Market, the app store run by Google.

Android was listed as the best-selling smartphone platform worldwide in Q4 2010 with over 200 million Android devices in use by November 2011.

Robin, you are a student of M.Tech. This shows how inquisitive you are! Do you expect Members in Toostep give you insight about Android when you have Google search around! Wikipaedia, explains about Android,like this: "An android is a robot or synthetic organism designed to look and act like a human, and with a body having a flesh-like resemblance. Although "android" is used almost universally to refer to both sexes, and those of no particular sex, "Android" technically refers to the male form, while "Gynoid" is the feminine form. Until recently, androids have largely remained within the domain of science fiction, frequently seen in film and television. However, advancements in robotic technology have allowed the design of functional and realistic humanoid robots." This is a starting point for you to explore to explain to the world that you've become an expert in Android technology in a month's time from now, if you are so inquisitive! My advanced congratulations to you on your success!
