Developing Apps for Android

Using a PC, BeagleBoard, phone or tablet

Published in issue 414, June 2011

The first mobile telephone with the Android operating system made its debut in late 2008, and according to current estimates 350,000 new Android phones go on the air each year. What is the reason for this amazing success? Is it Google? Or the fact that it’s open source? Or because it works well? In any case, the specific reason isn’t that important; what matters is that you can also join the trend and develop your own Android apps.
