What is Android™?

developed by Google™, your phone is preloaded
with several Google™ services, such as Google

the services provided by Google™, you need a
Google account. With a Google account you can also
access Google Play™ to download applications and
games, music, movies and books.

Android™ is an open system, which means that
you're not limited to using applications and services
from only one provider.

with friends, and Google Play™ to download
applications and games, music, movies and books.
