Man dreams, the work was born and ... Google bought!
It was nearly 8 years it all started. In fact, there are only roughly two years is that its existence was noted, and since then, its growth has been abrupt.
The division of the company's Android developers [x] cubeLABS built an infographic, intuitive, full of interesting information that indicates all the points determining the life of this mobile OS. Take a look!
There are several controversies suggest that influences the direction that Google took this OS, especially from Apple. The appearance of the first iPhone, no physical keyboard, occurred before a prototype Android be known with the same look. Coincidence or not, there is no doubt that the path that took smartphones goes against the concept.
Consider the history of the Android ... until now. Note the vertical bar, far right, which will indicate the market share in a given period.
The year 2010 was crucial in propelling the Android. The continuity of version 2.0 (Eclair) and the appearance of version 2.2 (Froyo) were crucial for the market share had that year, a growth of around 400%.
Not everything "roses" and, together with the success, come up dragging several problems both in terms of stability (Honeycomb recently in version 3.0) or the general level of fragmentation (due to the wide range of devices that hold this OS).
The distribution of the versions shown above is not a surprise. The brands that did not distribute the obligation to maintain the support of the products they sell, in order to update them, so there are about 20% of users with versions lower than 2.2 (to May/2010) with serious problems of compatibility with several applications in the Market.
Hopefully the Google in the past month of May in the event Google I / O, announced the mandatory support of at least 18 months from the date of release of its terminal.
The next version 4.0 was announced and named Ice Cream Sandwich, is scheduled for later this year and promises to correct some blemishes on this OS. Be able to function and adapt to either the tablet orsmartphones (like the Apple iOS), thanks to a single framework, and promises not have the minimum hardwarerequirements so you can work properly on any device.
