Android is an operating system embedded in a huge number of devices. Google is difficult to know the exact amount of these, as not everyone has access to Google Play, the platform used to account the number of terminals in use there today. For an operating system that only has a manufacturer’s easier this task, but Android works with hundreds of companies other than tablets, smartphones and processors.

Most of these companies have Chinese origin. For Google, an American company, this is more work. Many of these Chinese Android have nothing to do with the traditional image we can have. The experience is not the same without full access to Google Play and its purpose is not the same. The evolution of Android has been very different paths on the one hand we have the most popular Android and other devices that are not even activated by Google itself.

terminals under 150 € that can be found in stores like Alibaba, which are broadly similar to seven-inch tablets but really are not. The possibilities are many, from dvds to substitute for media centers. A labor camp escaping the interests of Google.

Google could then ask what is the device you are using, because in Google Play these sticks do not fall into any category. An example of an Android, of which thousands are sold, that Google does not exist.

Android and ARM has become the de facto system architecture, the easy option for any manufacturer who wants to create their own specialized gadget. The need to invest resources in building a software able to perform Your task is gone by the time we can put Android to the calculator.

These devices usually have touch screen and a processor capable minimally internet. All the ingredients for people to see and dares to buy but not enough to give them as general purpose as we give to a smartphone.

loss in the final count on Android devices is evident, but Google should not worry. An underlying market that has no interest in Google Play Services , but equally Project would benefit if they were updated Svelte KitKat. An optimized version that Google and perhaps thinking about these strange specialized droids. Some androids though perhaps not fall within the range you want to include Google Play, Google itself itself might be considering making directly very remote devices from smartphones or tablets.

manufacturing cost of building a computer with internet access has been reduced to levels to the user, not just large companies. Even the materials needed and the knowledge to make them, but the difference is huge a few years ago.

Under 50 € can manufacture ultra specialized device with android inside. The rise of Bluetooth LE will do wonders for battery life. We can think of devices to monitor the location, the thermostat, to replace the screen of your room, to monitor your home, to act as alarm clock to show …

also have consoles and OUYA, on laptops, even desktops. Projects like Arduino have already made clear the possibilities we have in our hands , these are the same except that instead find Android a Linux distro. Some developers do not dare even thought to create these other android applications, but here we have seen Android on sites that never would think we would see as mirrors or motorcycle helmets.

Android on devices that were not before and now smart purchase a complete system. In wearables capabilities give our game a lot despite some refuse to see it. In metro cards, electronic information panels or frames e-ink screens are an incredible breakthrough that saves a lot of energy.

The cost to have android devices without having a google experience, allow you to separate the fate of the company of one of its essential creations. We used to add a device, one for music one to play … then came the smartphones and unified. Now the opposite is true, this software is useful for all will provide a few extra features to specialized devices that do not need them. Is Android ready for every electronic device used in multimedia?
