This report begins by describing the key features of Android in some detail.
Based on our own experimentation with the Android SDK, supported by
senior-level interviews with technical representatives at Google, we describe
the 10 most important differentiating features of Android, compared to rival
mobile phone operating systems.
The report then analyses what Android means for the mobile industry by
considering the implications for companies who supply software for mobile
phones and mobile operators.
The considerable adoption barriers facing Android are discussed along with
what Google is doing to surmount those barriers.
The report clearly explains why Google has introduced Android, how Android
fits in with Google' s wider strategy and what relationship Android has with
Google' s upcoming bid for wireless spectrum in the U.S.

the mobile internet.
In particular, those in the music industry who see the mobile channel as a big
opportunity for music distribution will find this report to be essential
