Public Beta of the Android Operating System Released

The public beta of the Android operating system was released in November of 2007, bringing a powerful new open source mobile platform to the market. This groundbreaking new system was developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, and it blended together elements of the Linux operating system, an advanced virtual machine, and elements of Java.

With the release of the Android public beta, users had access to many of the features that help this operating system stand out from the others. They could use multiple applications on their device at once, access internet services such as Google Maps, and even customize their home screen with their favorite apps and widgets.

Since its inception, the Android operating system has seen extraordinary growth both in terms of adoption and in the number of third-party applications available for download. This makes it an ideal platform for businesses, developers, and consumers alike.
