Android is a complete operating environment based upon the Linux® kernel that includes a software stack for mobile devices – with an operating system, middleware and key applications.
The Android platform was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create new and innovative mobile applications that take full advantage of all the capabilities of a handset connected to the Internet
InfoObjects offers specific development services for the Android platform. We have expertise in creating mobile applications, testing and porting to mobile devices.
Android’s Benefits and Features
Based on Linux, it provides access to core mobile device functionality through standardized application programming interfaces.
Android allows you to combine information from the Web, directly from your mobile handset and corporate sources: speeding-up the information-gathering process and exactly delivering user-requested information.
Reduced development cycle- The Linux-based Android platform allows full access to the whole functionality of mobile devices by incorporating a powerful Java engine.
User Experience- Allowing developers to design applications on top of your platform provides the ability for users to have unique experiences tailored specifically for them.
Standardization- With numerous partners involved in both OpenSocial and Android, developers have a standardized way of creating applications for users without having to worry about platform. The standard platform also helps define documentation, procedures and application sharing.
Cost- Open platforms always tend to be far less expensive than mainstream/off the shelf products. With platforms such as Android in place, users will notice a cut in cost compared to handhelds operating systems like Windows Mobile and Palm OS.
Innovation- Giving developers the access to such powerful and flexible platforms will encourage increased innovation as they compete to develop the next killer application.
Support- Open Platforms equals Thousands of Developers which equals the amount of support available for applications and configuration that are built on top of the platform
