Android is a mobile operating system, owned by Google.
Android Inc. was the startup company that developed the initial Android OS. Google acquired the company in July 2005, and many of the original Android Inc. founders work for Google today, including Andy Rubin and Rich Miner.
The Android OS can be used as an operating system for tablets, netbooks, and cellular phones. Televisions are now being constructed with Android's OS as well.
Google's flagship smartphones running Android are the Nexus One (manufactured by HTC) and the Nexus S (manufactured by Samsung)
