BENGALURU: Dubbed as one of the most powerful mobile platforms in the world today, Android has come a long way since its maiden version was launched.

First Glimpse

On October 22, 2008 the Android OS put its first mark, where HTC unveiled their flagship Android based Smartphone HTC Dream, and today it is one of the most powerful Mobile Platforms.  

The HTC G1 Smartphone came with Android 1.0, sporting a 3.2-inch screen, locked to the T-Mobile mobile network and was made available only in the U.S. with Qualcomm and Texas Instruments providing the compatible hardware. Although it wasn’t the prettiest phone to look at, but did enough to put Android on the list of operating systems.
