7 Things You Should Know About Android
Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Abstract
Android is a Linux-based, open-source operating system designed for use on cell phones, e-readers, tablet PCs, and other mobile devices. Android has been selected by many hardware manufacturers to run on a wide range of devices, including cell phones, tablets, e-readers, netbooks, and others. Android may bring smartphone and tablet functionality to a much wider cross-section of students and faculty members. In this way, Android might hasten the integration of mobile technology into the learning experience and give students and faculty new ways to interact with content.
The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides concise information on emerging learning technologies. Each brief focuses on a single technology and describes what it is, where it is going, and why it matters to teaching and learning. Use these briefs for a no-jargon, quick overview of a topic and share them with time-pressed colleagues.
In addition to the "7 Things You Should Know About…" briefs, you may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution. To learn more, please visit the ELI Resources page.

It is NOT true that Android Devices are more insecure than iOs Devices. In fact, iOs devices have much more vulnerabilities than android devices. At <a href="http://www.codalibre.de" title="codalibre">Codalibre</a> we prefer to use the Android OS for all mobile applications and never regretted it.
