A system for digital cameras

The birth of android, was on November 5, 2005 was the first beta version, September 23, 2008 was the second version, called Android 1.0.

But the ANDROID INC. It was in 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White for the development of mobile devices.

the first objective was to develop an operating system for digital cameras,but this market was not large and the company's course was changed to compete with operating systems such as symbian or windows mobile.

ANDROID 1.0

In the beginning ANDROID was a bit rough, but it already had some functions that we know today.

ANDROID 1.5

On April 27, 2009 Android 1.5 Cupcake arrived and thus began the tradition of naming the older versions after a dessert, in alphabetical order.

ANDROID 1.6 DONUT

From the cupcake to the donut, launched on September 15, 2009. One of its most important changes is the appearance of the quick search box. Previously, the Google search widget took you to the web browser, whereas now the search is done directly in the application. Android Market also received a major facelift, while the offer of applications began to emerge.

ANDROID 2.0 ECLAIR

The next Android dessert would see the light of day on October 26, 2009, just over a month after donut. Routes to Google Maps and multi-account support and for synchronization with third-party accounts, such as Facebook, arrived

ANDROID 2.2 FROYO

In May 2010 we were moving from ecclair to frozen yogurt with the arrival of Froyo. Two of its most important changes are the support for voice commands and the creation of Wi-Fi access points. Here you have the great-great-grandfather of Google Assistant, since it was already possible to search, get directions, write notes, set alarms and more actions just with your voice.

ANDROID 2.3 GINGERBREAD

With Ginberbread, the interface received minor adjustments again, adopting various colored accent icons in android green. It was already prepared for screens with resolutions WXGA and higher, so you had to make sure that it would look nice in large.

ANDROID 3.0 HONEYCOMB

Is a honeycomb a dessert? According to Google, yes. Be that as it may, Google decided that version 3.0 of Android was only for tablets, released on February 22, 2011. With a larger screen, it required several changes and new elements to adapt the interface. Some of them have survived to this day
