What is Android™?

Android is your device's operating system. Since Android

is developed by Google™, your device is preloaded with

several Google™ services, such as Google Maps™ and

Google™ web search. To use some of the services

provided by Google™, you need a Google account.

Android provides backup options through Gmail™

account sync to restore contacts, Wi-Fi settings, and app

data to/from Android devices.

What is different about Android?

Android™ is an open system, which means that you're not

limited to using applications and services from only one

provider.
