In retrospect, it is difficult to think that Google could imagine that one day would own the most popular operating system in the first half of this decade. The expansion of Android has been staggering, and as at odds as the smartphone market, it is surprising to see that a single platform is monopolizing 81% of the market, maintaining healthy growth of 51.3% over last year.

Things have not been too different in the tablet segment. Although initially the platform Google failed to make do quite well in his battle against Apple, and things seemed to go straight to failure forever, as they began to appear affordable alternatives things changed radically, and now Android also dominates loosely the tablet market with 62.6% of total quota .

war for being the platform with more presence in mobile, Android seems to have been raised in victory, and will probably remain so for some years more. However, a trait that has stood the people of Mountain View is that hate always sit still even when things are going very well, and this is where we begin to question where Android will continue to grow now has grown almost everything that can grow with tablets and smartphones.

SmartWatch

smart watches have been very popular during this 2013. All were closely monitoring the possibility that Apple introduced a gadget like this, and at such a possibility in Samsung Galaxy decided to move forward with the Gear.

Even before there was a handful of manufacturers with their own approaches, and while Sony and Samsung are based on their own Firmware designed to work in sync with the smartphone, many smartwatch have been designed to operate completely independently, using a full version of Android for it.

In a market with so much potential for the future, Google and Android surely know how to find an opportunity.

TVs

Google has already torpid steps trying to come to TV with Google TV, a modified version of Android. It’s been quite a bit since that, but experience not only the big G, but many other manufacturers have learned. While Californians are now making a strong bid for Chromecast, we see every day more households who dare sticks with Android, to do a little more smart their TVs.

the other hand, there are some great manufacturers and directly to your TV loaded Android, that being the case of Lenovo, the company that does not bother you to use Google’s platform in its gadgets.

Consoles

hand TVs come consoles. Products like OUYA, MOJO, or NVIDIA Shield show the patent interest that there is not only the users but also developers to exploit the full potential of the platform for Google video games.

One of the key factors that will determine the future success of Android in video games could be the arrival of more mature and full titles, isolated from the casual concept so far mine app stores.

Computers

this side of the globe sounds strange to talk about a PC running Android , and although not quite a rarity, neither are the best sellers. Quite another thing happens in Asia, where Android based computers are the order of the day, which is why manufacturers such as we see the likes of Acer dare ever present equipment of this type.

few rumors of a eventual emergence of Android and Chrome OS , which surely would make Google a serious thorn in the shoe for Microsoft.

The possibilities are endless

condition versatility and open source platform Google has it the perfect to be adapted and endlessly recycled product. Thus we see glasses and based on Android, and it is also installed on some TVs. Probably in the future we will see come home as part of a myriad of gadgets home automation, and even products you can not imagine right now, but surely already being gestated by someone on Kickstarter.
