Android - Anita

• The Android operating system wasn't actually made by Google. It was developed in 2003 by Android Inc., a company named apparently after its founder's nickname - given to him due to an obsession with robots.

• Google did finally release its own mobile phone in 2010, although it was made by HTC. But the Google Nexus One wasn't so well received. It came out in January of that year but had fairly basic specs compared to other Android phones on the market.The likes of Samsung, Motorola and T-Mobile were all behind Android at this point.

• The first ever mobile handset to run Android was the HTC Dream or T-Mobile G1 as UK users may remember it.It featured a slide-up screen that revealed a keyboard and it appeared in late 2008.In the US it was followed by the Motorola Droid, which came out a year later.

• Google is famous for naming its Android OS updates after sweet treats.The first was the 1.5 release in April 2009 dubbed Cupcake. This was followed by Donut (1.6) a few months later, and an upgrade to 2.0 - or Eclair - in October of the same year.Eclair was a massive step forward and brought Google Maps Navigation to the software, allowing it to compete with dedicated sat-nav systems.

• Android's 2.2 edition was nicknamed Froyo - a US term for frozen yoghurt.After its release in June 2010, Android took over market share in America from Apple iOS.This was followed by 2.3 Gingerbread at the end of that year bringing Near Field Communication and a new Google Nexus S.
