It is 10 straight years since android 10 was released on 23rd September 2008 and launched to the public by HTC G1 on 20th October 2008.

This year Google is busy celebrating a very special anniversary. It marks ten years since it launched one of its most successful products which have greatly helped in the process of revolutionizing the market for the smartphones. A decade ago, Google was able to launch android which has proved to be the most dominant and one of the mobile operating system that is widely used around the world.

Which date one can suggest, the most important thing was that android 10 was released in the year 2008. This was exactly one year after the iPhone made tremendous changes on phones that could last forever. The year 2008 when android 10 was released was the same year when the Apple Company discovered and introduced its app store. Therefore, it could sound only natural to think of android to the context of the answers provided by google search engine to the iPhone.

According to Juan Carlos who is a technology reviewer says that over the years he has witnessed technology change and much refined experience being offered by the changing technology. In his experience, he said that the early android was ugly, stuttery and laggy. By then the iPhone was so easy and smooth for one to use it with so much functionality built in it which we have witnessed apple trying to meet those functionalities. He believes that google has made some tremendous efforts I trying to catch up with the pretty technology and now we are in the midway.

Android was launched by google to serves as an alternative to the iPhone phones manufactured by apple in the late 2008. During its development and introduction, it came on an HTC device. HTC has been partnering with google for a long period of time. It gave access to google services such as Gmail and maps and allowed seamless searching with Google’s search engine.

Since its introduction, android has completely occupied the place that smartphones that used windows used to hold with desktops. This has made to gain a significantly large market share. It has become one of the most dominant computing platforms on this planet. It has significantly prevented some of the window versions from taking over the phones. Besides, it is disregarded the use of windows as the operating system that is most popular.

The fact is that most people have not come into terms to understand how significant android has become. We need to understand that mobile [hones have become the primary computing platform for a large swath of humanity and most of these smartphones are using android. In addition, I believe that people have not done much to contend the parallels between the current android and the windows that used to exist in the late 190no comparison that can be perfects. in this case I strongly believe that there is no comparison that can be said to be perfect. The situation has totally changed since then by far because android has become an open source project which cannot be fairly compared to Microsoft used to do by then.

 Still the parallels are in existence and this has given the policymakers a line of action. The dominance of android worldwide has led to a contagious disagreement with the European union and is still ongoing. Ui n my own opinion, I believe that any individual who is fair minded can establish merit in the EU contention that google is seriously abusing the market that it dominates to buttress the play store and chrome. I also view that it doesn’t make any sense to impose a system where google itself is unable to exert some security and quality measures on the created massive platform. Given the fact that, google has taken a lead in the last ten years, the play store and chrome might become the only real hope for the company for holding back the flood of malware and fragmentation which might end up threatening the entire system.

I strongly believe that the changes which google is undergoing is to establish how its own products works on the mobile. Besides, google has embarked on putting a news feed on the homepage that is default of most of the android phones which has become more bigger than the androids.

To conclude, no individual who is interested in technology will ever forget that currently people are experiencing the internet and the computers through the android than anything else. This is not the only big accomplishment since its release in 2008 but it is also a huge change on how ewe should train pour mind to think about the internet and computing.
