Android is an open source platform built by Google that includes an operating system, middleware, and applications for the development of devices employing wireless communications. This paper takes a look at the design of Android, how it works, and how it may be deployed to accelerate the development of a connected device. Along with basic guidelines to getting started with Android, the Android SDK, its available tools and resources are reviewed and some consideration is given to applications for Android beyond conventional mobile handsets such as medical devices, consumer electronics and military/aerospace systems.

The article was well written and succinct. The last couple of pages describe how the author's company, Mentor Graphics, may help with developing the use of Android for non-telephone applications.

Interesting paper! There was a lot of detail but it was not "brought to life" without examples to illustrate the detail. It was a good start but I would need much more to understand the pros/cons of using Android. Thanks for publishing this.
