In October 2008, Google announced and released Android and everyone knew that it would become the best operating system for mobile devices. Not only is Android open source, but it also comes with a Software Development Kit, which offers the necessary APIs and utilities for developers to easily build powerful applications for Android-powered mobile devices.
Android programs are especially designed to operate the mobile systems. As Google Android is built on the Linux kernel, all of the applications for the mobile operating system actually run on a custom Java runtime. In other words, Google Android doesn’t run most native Linux applications, and most Linux distributions can’t run Google Android apps… yet. But Canonical is working on software that would allow Google Android programs to run natively on Ubuntu Linux.
In the long run, this could expand the developer community for both Ubuntu and Google Android. The move could also make it much easier to come up with ways to synchronize the data on mobile devices running Google Android with a desktop computer running Ubuntu.
