Mobile Application Development
Android
Mobile Application Development
was known to make software programs for mobile phones. When in July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc., rumors spread that Google was making an entry in the mobile phone market. Google thereafter applied for a patent for a mobile payment scheme and came to be known as Gpay. It would let the customer send a message to Google by providing payment details to some specified recipient. The user's account would then be debited by Gpay, by giving credit to the payee's account.
Google's Android may bring new risks:
Googles's Android Mobile Application Development open source cell phone operating mechanism, along with Open Handset Alliance may expose mobile operators to more security risks than any other devices that are currently selling in the market. Currently there is no central authority that can sign and test the Android applications, and this unavoidably increases the risk of misuse. But Android was meant to be designed in such a manner as to reduce the effects of such misuse.
An independent procedure is followed by the Linux based Android system for each application. This prevents malicious programs from disturbing other applications or important telephone functions. If an application program makes it essential to access the data or phone operations, for instance to read phone numbers in the address book or make a telephone call, the user needs to explicitly enable this during installation itself.
The function in the system was neatly demonstrated with the help of an Android Mobile Application Development emulator and is a division of the software development kit that is available free of cost. It was also demonstrated as to how an Android terminal was able to study a shopping list using the Google spreadsheets, and show it in an appropriate format for mobile use.
The very intriguing new phone is the Android from Google. The first time I heard about this, I really can't believe that Google is going to create a phone. At first I thought it was just a rumour because Google dominated the web and I thought it wouldn't step in to mobile phone business. The new Android is going to be released with the HTC Dream G1 phone from HTC. What's interesting about Android is it is a Linux distribution and it is open source.
Anyone can download the SDK then develop the applications for Android. Since Android has its own SDK developers can now easily build their own apps with ease. The SDK also allows you to emulate your app as in your in the Android Mobile Application Development phone. I really can't wait this phone to be released here in the Philippines and I want to get my hands dirty on it.
