Android is Google's mobile and tablet operating system. Many of these are touch screen applications. In the next year or two there is predicted to be an explosion of Android based devices on the mobile phone and tablet platforms. Without having to have approval for applications like on the iPhone, it's expected that there will be quite a few applications available.

For Ubuntu users this is good news. While Ubuntu is not Android by any means only sharing the Linux kernel as a base, there is work being done right now to make sure that Android applications will run on the Ubuntu distribution. Eventually this might be able to work on a number of distributions.

For the last couple of years there has been one dominant force in the smart phone wars. Of course, this phone is known as the iPhone. Every other cell phone company that has tried to compete with the iPhone has ended up failing very badly. Even when the phones would catch up as far as their technical sophistication went, Apple would then release a new revolutionary version of their phone. This same pattern has happened over and over again the past couple of years. Now there is a group of phones that have taken up the mantle to try and challenge the iPhone. These are phones that are based on the Android operating system. If there are any phones that are out on the market right now that can do it, these are the phones that can.

Some people are saying that it is not fair to judge the newer Android based phones against the older iPhone. That we should wait until the latest generation of iPhone is ready to be released.

I'm looking for an Android app that will let me control my phone from my computer. For example, I want to run a computer program that manipulates data in running games (yes to cheat lol) on a game running on my Android phone. Sort of like a remote desktop program I guess? Free preferred but I will pay for one if need be. Thanks!
