Book Description

Android is a top open source project that powers millions of mobile devices. But, it all started back in 2005, when a small startup called Android, Inc. was acquired by Google. With the acquisition of Android Inc, Google entered the mobile space. Later in 2007, together with other major companies, Google created the Open Handset Alliance consortium with the goal of promoting Android as a standard for mobile platforms. Today Android has taken the mobile industry by surprise with major 3rd-party handset manufacturers and network operators around the world embracing Android. In addition, the Android ecoystem and developer community, both key elements of Android's success, are very strong.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just a collection of links to paid books September 14, 2011

Format:Kindle Edition

This is just a collection of links that let you buy books. These books are IMHO not worth its price, so this position is quite useless.

Someone took the time to run a web search for information and compile it into a "book". I can just do that on my own.

Not what I was exspecting. This is a glorified book for of links to other books and offers to join Safari web site for PAID access to other information and books. Will not buy this kind of book again. All the links can be found if you search public library.
