Android Features

           Apart from phone calls, camera, browser, applications, different wireless technologies, Mobile users expect more from their mobiles. Android provides most of the features in their OS. But the cellphone companies according to the mobile price inserts the features in their mobiles. In high end mobiles, we can have all the features of Android.
           Android supports VGA, 2D, 3D Graphics in big screen mobiles & tablets. We can use SQ Lite Relation Database for data management for different applications in this OS. Android supports GSM, CDMA, EDGE, IDEN, EVDO, LTE, NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wimax UMTS connectives. Also supports threaded SMS & MMS messaging, different global languages.

         When connected to the internet, by using RTP/RTSP, HTML5, Adobe Flash streaming, HTTP Live streaming, we can play audio & video from different websites & streaming applications. Android also supports Multi-Touch facility.
          Most of the android apps were prepared in java programming language with the extension .apk. But android doesn't contain Java Virtual Machine. So, the java apps prepared by java byte code with extensions .jar & .jad cant work in android. We should install third party java supported environment to install java apps. Android  supports A2DP bluetooth technology where we can hear not only the calls but also the audio & video played in the mobile by using bluetooth headset.
