Mobile processor manufacturer might just present us with the first device based on Google’s Android mobile operating system by next week in Mobile World Congress Expo at Barcelona.

The device will be running on a processor made by ARM itself.The Android platform has not been shown off much by Google so everyone must be expecting to see the Internet oriented Open source OS in action.

For those who don’t know about android . Read through:

Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It is built to be truly open. For example, an application could call upon any of the phone’s core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that has been designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android will be open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build innovative mobile applications.
