When it was first launched in October 2008, the operating system was not something that created a great immediate impact to the society of smartmobile users.

Majority of the smartmobile models are run by Android 2.2 which is known as the Froyo. Android 2.3 which is also called Gingerbread is also out in the market of operating system. Honeycomb or the Android 3.0 is also available now specified in tablet units.
Aside from those versions mentioned earlier, Ice Cream Sandwich is said to top it all and set the change of Android. Its main feature is that it fits all large and small screens of Android–a one-size-fits-all solution.
