What is Android™?

Android is a mobile phone platform for smart phones. It’s powerful phone software that is fun and easy to use. Android gives you access to the Market, an online app store with over 60,000 free and paid apps. Using your Android phone it’s easy to do powerful tasks like using GPS, uploading videos to YouTube, and playing networked games; and you can check news events, Twitter, Facebook, sports results and more, all in real time!

Over 60,000 apps and counting.

Access the Market right on your phone and download apps using your network connection, no matter where you are. You can easily search popular apps and games in any category, and sort by free, paid or newest apps.

When an app you have installed is updated to a newer version, the Market lets you know with a message in your notification bar. Just drag the bar down and click to update.

Apps range from simple notepads to virtual reality viewers where you see an enhanced world through your camera viewfinder. All apps can use the full range of features in your phone - almost anything is possible!

In Android all apps are equal. This means if you find a better browser, dialer, camera or keyboard you can easily replace the default. Customise your phone and set it up just how you like it.

Just some of the amazing apps from the Android Market:
