Android is a Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later purchased in 2005,^[9] Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance: a consortium of hardware,software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.^[10] The first Android-powered phone was sold in October 2008.^[11]

Android is open source and Google releases the code under the Apache License.^[12] This open source code and permissive licensing allows the software to be freely modified and distributed by device manufacturers, wireless carriers and enthusiast developers. Additionally, Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of devices, written primarily in a customized version of the Javaprogramming language.^[13] In October 2012, there were approximately 700,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from Google Play, Android's primary app store, was 25 billion.^[14]^[15]

These factors have allowed Android to become the world's most widely used smartphone platform,^[16] overtaking Symbian in the fourth quarter of 2010,^[17] and the software of choice for technology companies who require a low-cost, customizable, lightweight operating system for high tech devices without developing one from scratch.^[18] As a result, despite being primarily designed for phones and tablets, it has seen additional applications ontelevisions, games consoles and other electronics. Android's open nature has further encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users^[19] or bring Android to devices which were officially released running other operating systems.

Android had a worldwide smartphone market share of 75% during the third quarter of 2012,^[20] with 500 million devices activated in total and 1.3 million activations per day.^[21]^[22] The operating system's success has made it a target for patent litigation as part of the so-called "smartphone wars" between technology companies.^[23]
