Android is an operating system for mobile devices which consists of middleware and key applications, and uses a modified version of the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance. It is also rummored that Android OS smartphones ranked second among all smartphone OS handsets sold in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2010. Let’s take an in-dept look at the best Android cell phones as follows:
