'''Android''' is a, developed by the [http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/ Open Handset Alliance], Linux-Kernel NetBSD-Userland based operating system für Smartphones, Tablets and other mobile devices, as well as other embedded devices, like cars. The main developer, apart from the voluntary community, is the california-based company Google, Inc., which is also well recognized as "the developer" of Android in the general press and the public. Google is also the founder of the Open Handset Alliance. Android is open source software; the source code is available to the public. Even if Android is based on the Linux kernel, it is mostly not recognized as an own distribution of Linux, because a lot of features and basics, compared to other unix-like operating systems, are greatly changed or removed from the system.
